The French name "Vie Sauvage" reflects one of the artist's fundamental beliefs: the importance of protecting and honoring wildlife in every aspect. Her profound admiration for nature shines through in her DJ sets, where she weaves in sounds of nature captured during her travels. This not only highlights her dedication to wildlife conservation but also resonates with audiences who share a love for music and the environment.

With over a decade of experience, the artist has honed her craft by performing at a wide range of events, including festivals, raves, after-hours gatherings, and clubs. Veronique has also showcased her talent on an international stage, with performances in places like Chicago, Australia, Playa del Carmen, and Amsterdam, to name just a few. After years of delving into various electronic music styles, she has cultivated a unique sound that fuses the depth and intensity of progressive house with organic textures, complemented by house-inspired grooves and melodies. With a comprehensive understanding of today’s musical landscape, she designs her DJ sets to radiate a warm, textured, and authentic vibe. Her talent for crafting intentional musical narratives allows her to guide listeners on an emotional journey through a range of immersive and deep frequencies.

Vie Sauvage truly lives up to her name by dedicating her efforts to support rehabilitation organizations and wildlife sanctuaries. She volunteers across various countries, working with orphaned and endangered animals. Recognizing the need to combine her two passions, Véronique organized her inaugural fundraiser in 2023, featuring DJs who performed to raise funds for wild animal rehabilitation. Her goal is to spread awareness about the importance of protecting our planet and all its living creatures.

Rikam (a.k.a. Erik Amyot) is one of the leading psychedelic-trance DJs in North America. Since 1994, he’s also one of the most respected psychedelic-trance party organizers in Canada. Rikam is an electronic-music lover. He founded eXpérience productions in 1994 and Tech Safari in 2002. He first encountered techno, acid-house and acid-trance music in the early 1990s and started collecting his first vinyl records. He first discovered goa trance parties around 1994. Following his passion for this new music and new energy and his desire to share it, he produced the first psytrance, goa-trance and techno parties in Trois-Rivières (Quebec) with eXpérience productions.

After leaving Trois-Rivières for Montreal, as a party organizer in 1997 he transformed the electronic scene with some massive goa-trance parties made possible through eXperience productions, and collaborated extensively with French artist DJ Nivoc from Ascend records. Rikam has produced techno and trance events ranging from 500 to 3,500 attendees and enabled Quebecers to discover artists such as Tony Puglia, Sid Shanti, Tsuyoshi Suzuki, Andre from TIP, Bansi, Goa Gill, Akira from Japan, India Drop (Purple Oz), Mat BOOM!, and many others...

1999 was a turning point for Erik and his DJ career, as the promoter also became a renowned and appreciated DJ in the Canadian arena, playing at many large gatherings, parties and festival  like Universo Parallelo (Bresil), Transahara festival (Morocco),  Eclipse Summer Electronic Music Festival (Canada), Shambhala festival (Canada), Arrival and Natura festivals (Quebec), OM festival (Ontario), Harvest festival (Ontario), Music of the spheres (Morocco), Jungle Lunatic (Mexico), Omni dance festival (USA),  Orb festival (USA), Psyforia (USA) and many others... Rikam has also played with Infected Mushroom at the famous Aria nightclub in Montreal!

In 2003, with the Tech Safari team, he organized the first international outdoor psytrance festival in Canada: Eclipse Summer Trance Festival. Only one year later, Rikam and the Tech Safari collective created a new series of parties called “Amazone” in different locations throughout Montreal. Rikam is now a key element in the development of emerging psytrance culture in North America, and especially in Canada, where he is both DJ and instigator. He's played alongside renowned artists such as Ido Ophir, Hallucinogen, D-Nox, Deedrah, Koxbox, Transwave, Domestic, Talamasca, GMS, Absolum, Wizzy Noise, Ticon, Dino Psaras, X-Dream, Protoculture, Pixel, The Delta, OTT, Son Kite, Joti Sidhu, Wrecked Machines, Vibrasphere, and many others.

In 2005, after a set by DJ Edoardo at Tech Safari’s legendary monthly Amazone gatherings in Montreal, Rikam became the North-American representative for Italian Neurobiotic Records, a label managed by DJ Edoardo and represented by artists such as Joti Sidhu, Dimitri DKN, The Antidote, Zen Mechanics, Earthling, Silicon Sound, Altom, Polaris, Panick, and many more. Rikam is a versatile, open-minded DJ. He can mix night and day, as his powerful sets offer a mixture of intelligent psychedelic sounds and original grooves with progressive rhythms and s hypnotic atmosphere ranging from 135 to 145 BPMs. He's also has a particular interest for progressive house & techno music ranging 125 to 132 BPMs.

Symbolic is the brainchild of top notch producer Ilan Shemi. Mid 2011 saw the project take shape under one and only rule: only the purest and best psychedelic progressive trance will make the cut. Symbolic’s unique production skills and unequaled talent for understanding the dancefloor, quickly made him a recognizable figure in the psychedelic scene throughout the world ever since the first taste, Crystal Clear, came out on a compilation by Ace Ventura on Iboga Records. A force to be reckoned with, Symbolic’s sound has become synonymous with heavy basslines that move the feet, crunchy grooves that move the hips, hypnotizing melodies that turn the brain on itself and make the body act on its own. Massive collaborations with top producing wizards such as Liquid Soul, Zen Mechanics, Ace Ventura have already emerged, and with tracks and skills that keep on evolving and moving, a certainty that the best is yet to come keeps on ringing true. What was great shall be greater.

Psychedelic Trance With A Progressive Touch.

VINI VICI BIOGRAPHY 2016 

Vini Vici is the new project of Aviram Saharai & Matan Kadosh, both well-known and experienced electronic music producers for over a decade.
The concept of Vini Vici was formed by the boys with an intention to express their love for the old school sound, paired with their progressive ideas.
Iboga Records and FM Bookings, widely considered to be the biggest psytrance label and booking agency, were the first to see the potential of the project and invited them to be part of their well respected family, alongside names such as: Ace Ventura, Liquid Soul, Ticon, Captain Hook, Atmos, and the like.

After the huge success of their premier EP 'Divine Mode' and their follow-up ‘Back Underground’, ‘Expender’, ‘Anything & Everything’, and ‘Veni Vidi Vici’ tracks (all top sellers on Beatport and Iboga Records charts), Vini Vici continued to produce massive hits while touring the world nonstop - Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Switzerland, Finland, France, India, Denmark, Germany, United State, Italy, Portugal, Austria, Australia, Serbia, Netherland, Scotland, United Kingdom, Ireland, Israel…..
It's no surprise Beatport positioned them at No.3 on the Top Artist list of 2014.
2015 was a huge step forward for the boys with the release of their debut album ‘Vini Vici - Future Classics’. They hit the Beatport Main Chart at No.2 (Psytrance at No.1) - a position that very few psytrance artists have managed to stand at before, followed by Psyshop No.1 and TrackItDown No.1 spots, while the legendary Infected Mushroom named them “the best upcoming psytrance artists at the moment”. The explosion continued when trance king Armin Van Buuren edited their already classic tune ‘The Tribe’, and featured them on his legendary ‘ASOT’ radio show over and over again.

Finishing 2015 with a bang, the boys were ranked by Beatport as No.1 on the PsyTrance Artist chart and they also landed the Best Selling Track of 2015. They continued to make history early in 2016 with their Vini Vici Remix of ‘Hilight Tribe - Free Tibet’ - the track gained over 15,000,000 views on YouTube and 5,000,000 plays on Soundcloud, while also hitting the No.2 spot on Beatport’s Main chart, and becoming the first psytrance track ever to have entered the Beatport Main Top 10.

After such an outstanding beginning to 2016, it’s no surprise that the rest of their year continued to bring this elevated level and even after many successful years before became their best year by far. Some even call it the ‘The Vini Vici Year’ - with over 220 shows in some of the most prestigious electronic music events around the globe (A State Of Trance Festival NL, Tomorrowland BE, Boom Festival PT, Electric Daisy Carnival in U.S.A, Ultra BR, Dreamstate U.S.A, Transmission CZ, Experience BR, Vuuv DE, Sunburn GOA, Luminosity NL, Earthcore AU, Unity IL just to name a few…).

Keeping their No.1 spot on Beatport’s Psytrance Artist list and Best Selling Track for the second year in a row went on to lead a new generation of psytrance fans and producers to their style. Just before ending off 2016 came the jewel in the crown; a collaboration with no other than one of the solid founders of modern electronic music - Armin Van Buuren, featuring french band Hilight Tribe in their creation ‘Great Spirit’. This massive collaboration took over the Beatport Main Chart immediately and gained over 1,000,000 views on YouTube in just 2 weeks, taking them one step closer to their life goal of spreading psytrance culture and energy in the world.

Armin van Buuren: “I’ve wanted to work with Vini Vici ever since they embarked on the music scene. Few acts have such a well-defined signature sound”
