Vini Vici is an Israeli psytrance duo. The group was formed in Afula by Aviram Saharai and Matan Kadosh in 2013.[1] Aviram and Matan have been making music together since the early 2000s, first under the group named Sesto Sento, releasing their early work on a CD back in 2001.[1] In 2013, they rebranded their partnership as Vini Vici, and released their debut single "Divine Mode" the same year. Vini Vici released their debut album "Future Classics" in 2015.[2] In 2021, the duo has ranked twentieth on the DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs Poll.[3]
Members[edit]
Aviram and Matan both come from Afula. They started learning and experimenting with electronic music production at the age of fifteen—partially influenced by the significant psytrance culture in Israel, and especially by the work of Infected Mushroom.[4] Aviram's older brother was his earliest interaction with the world of Music, as he had played the keyboard and often traveled "around Europe with an orchestra." Talking about the prevalent psytrance culture, Aviram once told The Australian Jewish News "in Israel, it's literally everywhere".[1]
Matan resides in Israel, while Aviram lives in Brazil.[4]
Career[edit]
As Sesto Sento[edit]
Sesto Sento was an early trance music group formed by Aviram, Matan, and their high school friend Iatai Spector. They released their first work on a CD in 2001. Afterwards, Itai began to embrace a lifestyle of Orthodox Judaism and progressively shied away from the group. Matan and Aviram continued to work under Sesto Sento until they reinvented their partnership as Vini Vici in 2013.[1]
2013-2015[edit]
In 2013, Vini Vici released their debut singles "Divine Mode" and "Trust in Trance" which made them instantly notable within the world of psytrance. In 2015, the duo released their debut album "Future Classics" in which the track titled "The tribe" was streamed by eleven million Spotify users.[2]
Collaboration with Armin van Buuren[edit]
Armin first worked with Vini Vici on Great Spirit in 2016. Another single followed, two years later, titled United. In October 2021, they released Yama, which has been described as a "tribal-feeling" single.[5][6][7][8]
Awards[edit]
In 2017, Vini Vici received The Walla Nightlife Awards as the Dj Of The Year and ranked 12th on the Trance Podium Top 100 Djs.[9] They have been included in the Beatport’s Psytrance Bestsellers list for four years in a row, from 2018 to 2020.[10][11][12][13][14] In 2018, they reached the 34th position on the DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs Poll, and earned the year’s highest climber award—up more than thirty positions from their 2017 ranking.[14] They ranked 31st in 2019, 24th in 2020, and 20th in 2021.[3][15][16]
In 2019, Vici and Armin van Buuren received the Gold Award for their 2016 released single Great Spirit.[17]

Vini Vici perform "an average of 200 shows around the world each year," including performances at major trance festivals such as Tomorrowland[18] in Belgium, Ultra Music Festival in Miami, and the Electric Daisy Carnival.[1][19]
