Julio Victoria was born in the Coffee Region. He grew up playing tennis, a sport that would take him to southern Germany, where he discovered the Plattentasche record store. There, over the course of several years, he began a musical journey of discovery. It was a point of no return for Victoria, one that would lead him to dedicate his life completely to house and techno, to selection and production.

Very quickly, Victoria rose to the top of her country's music scene, not only as a DJ, but also as a producer. With his raw but always melodic and layered cuts, he secured a spot at Boiler Room Colombia and established a large following through successful sets nationally (Nuits Sonores Colombia, Estereo Picnic, BAUM) and internationally (Dimensiones in Croatia , Comunité in Tulum, III points in Miami) festivals. As a follower of composers such as Iannis Xenakis and Krzystof Penderecki, Victoria's music has filled Printworks in London, Contact in Tokyo, Concrete in Paris, Zukunft in Zurich, Jagger in Oslo, Larm in Budapest, Truth in Johannesburg and Output in New York. His score for the film Berlin – Die Symphonie der Grobstadt, presented by the Goethe Institut Kolumbien, further illustrates his versatility and vision.

Victoria has also moved beyond the dance floor with her experimental live projects, which blend traditional indigenous Colombian sounds into her Detroit and Chicago inspired electronic beats.
