Vite Reflects On Becoming The First Mexican DJ To Perform At UNVRS Ibiza
After nearly three decades immersed in electronic music culture and 13 years as a professional DJ, Vite is preparing for one of the most significant moments of his career. On June 25, the Mexican artist will make his debut at UNVRS Ibiza during FISHER’s residency, becoming the first Mexican DJ to appear on a lineup at what many consider the most talked-about new club in the world.
The achievement arrives as part of a particularly important year for Vite, who is also embarking on one of the most extensive European tours of his career while continuing to expand his work through SINNER and his role as Musical Director at Vagalume Tulum.
Speaking to Mixmag, he reflected on the long journey that led him to this moment, the lessons learned along the way, and what lies ahead.
A HISTORIC DEBUT
For Vite, becoming the first Mexican DJ to perform at UNVRS represents both a personal achievement and a point of pride for Mexico’s electronic music community.
“It fills me with pride to be the first Mexican DJ to perform at UNVRS, or the first to appear on a UNVRS lineup. Today, it is arguably the number one club in the world. While I won’t be playing on the main stage, I’ll be performing at The Bunker, which everyone has told me is the most fun and exclusive room in the club. I’m incredibly happy.”
The performance marks another milestone in a career that has steadily evolved through multiple roles across the electronic music industry.
Like many artists of his generation, Vite’s introduction to electronic music came through television. In 1999, while preparing for school, he discovered a world that felt completely different from everything else he was hearing.
“Without a doubt, 1999 changed my
life forever. I remember
being very young and not really understanding what kind of music I was listening to. I only knew that it sounded different from everything else that was on television. There was something about those sounds, the energy, and the visual aesthetic of
those videos that
captivated me, especially The Chemical Brothers, who fascinated me from the very first moment.”
Artists such as Fatboy Slim, Moby, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers became early gateways into a culture that would eventually define his life and career.
