Viktoria Rebeka
Since early childhood she was expressing herself with rhythm and sound while attending music & dance classes and performing in a rhythm group to tracks from the 80’s. As a teen, she was very proud when she received her first Jamaha Synth. At that time her parents had a 24/7 restaurant-bar business build into their house so she grew up with listening to MTV, channel always tuned in.
When about 16 years old, she discovered electronic music and was mainly listening to a local electronic music radio. Just then, her biggest wish was to participate in the rave revolution, so begun to follow the scene and at the end of 1999 she went to live in Zagreb, stumbling upon love for House and Techno raves. At the end of 2000 she started to collect vinyls and often organized private after parties.
After Zagreb, Viktoria went to live and work in Vienna where her love for collecting and mixing electronic music grew. At the beginning of 2003, this young lady was already on track to develop her great musical talent, playing double sets on several events and festivals with dj Sunny Sava the resident of the famous Camera Club. Her presence and style was felt at one of the biggest indoor festivals The Braintribe, a 3-day event hosting 31 international Dj guests of trance-techno-house& groove music. Among other reference appearances for Viktoria was La Gorda, a 9-day outdoor festival full of creative Workshops concentrated around art & music.
Journey of life took Viktoria to Slovenia in 2005. Shortly after her coming back, she joined a group of talented DJs working under the name of Underground Connections.

Queens of Minimal Techno stands for quality minimal and minimal techno music, as an underground music experience. Same year made happen the opportunity to perform at the official Exit Festival after party.
Through the years her method of mixing was changing from playing vinyl with turntables to CD players, as finally in 2009 she found great passion in looping and effecting through software programs with midi controllers. Of course the music genre changed a lot as well and currently Viktoria is in love with dark minimal & minimal techno sounds.
Inspired by many great underground producers and dj’s around the globe and the wish to truly express herself as an artist, has driven Viktoria’s focus and work on production. Her style reflects a cocktail of charming deep dark minimal and minimal techno beats, and the future production holds in store more experimental dark deep minimal sound.

One of the reasons why she loves music, is because it makes her fade away into another dimension. When she plays it is all like a commotion, a life journey where melody makes the world a better place to live in.
