Vini Vici are an Israeli psytrance duo — Aviram Saharai and Matan Kadosh — who are responsible for the underground dance genre’s biggest hit, their remix of Hilight Tribe’s ‘Free Tibet’, which has been streamed an incredible 123 million times on YouTube (and that’s just the official upload; there are many home-made “bass-boosted” remixes that add a few million to that figure) and another 60 million times on Spotify. Their other major hits include ‘Get in Trouble (So What)’, ‘Great Spirit’, and ‘Come Close’. Among their most releases is ‘Yama’, a collaboration with trance icon Armin Van Buuren, someone who has long championed the duo and praised them for their highly original approach to music.

Despite this phenomenal success, Vini Vici are in the highest demand when it comes to the live arena. Pandemic notwithstanding, they average around 200 gigs a year around the world and have played at all of trance music’s biggest events, including Tomorrowland (where their tracks are regularly the festival’s most-played), EDC events in America, India, and Japan; Electric Love, 808, Dreamstate, Creamfields, Ultra, and many more.

Although hailed as one of the biggest names in psytrance, Vini Vici believe their sound goes far beyond the confines of genre and into a far more otherworldly, psychedelic space that can only remain nameless. Either way, their passion, talent, and mesmerising music has seen them nominated as some of the world’s best DJs by the influential likes of DJ Mag and Beatstats. They are also a regular presence on the Beatport charts, with the likes of ‘Great Spirit’ and ‘Chakra’ becoming top-three hits on the benchmark dance music site’s chart.
