Who is DJ Vileroy also known as DJ Nicos?

A young, but very talented DJ from Drachten, in which he lives.

He had the courage to face acid techno/trance, the style ruling on the local scene, and chose progressive trance for himself.

The beginnings were tough. Working hard at Rotterdam pubs and bars, carrying and washing mugs, helped him earn money for the first computer decks. After finally managing to collect the dream amount, he quickly started to learn djing. However, it turned out, that nobody was keen on listening to that kind of music in his hometown. This fact forced DJ Vileroy to take part in several new talents competitions.

Along the way, DJ Vileroy further developed his unique and highly musical image within clubland with a foray into the world of independent label ownership. In 1999, he formed Rotterdam SoundSystems, an outlet that earned a sole reputation for it's cutting edge releases by DJ Vileroy and a host of other underground luminaries.

Last year came Vileroy Records. Among it's early releases was "Matroeska" which proved to be a massive vocal club anthem on which he teamed up with DJ Cell

once again. Vileroy has emerged as a label that can deliver eclectic club tracks from the likes of Ashley Smith, DJ Smartyk and DJ Dosci.

The hardcore of DJ Vileroy's tenure in dance music is an ongoing passion for stepping behind the turntables. "To me, spinning records can be just as creative as producing and remixing," he says. "A great DJ can take a record and give it an entirely new sound or vibe, by the way they deal with the beats or chord progressions.

DJ Vileroy still spins regularly at local and international events, serving the longtime disciples of his hallowed 'Ego Trip' travelling parties, which were the talk of Europe.
