Read the Vikkz & Mania Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
We are a dj – duo from Antwerp Belgium.
Since we were young we were totally into music and at the age of 14, 1 of us (Manu van Aalst) decided to start dj'ing. After 6 months his best friend (Viktor Brosens) started to really enjoy what Manu was doing. After some talking we decided to work together.
The past 3 years of Vikkz & Mania Has been amazing. We've practised many genre's and created our own fanbase.

We've reached over 150.000 Streams on soundcloud. And are Hoping to at least double that in 2018!
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
We've been influenced by many artists that we look(ed) up to.
Our first singles/ remixes were Deep house, bacause we were both big fans of that style back then. A year later, Future House made it's way into the music industry. We were so happy with this style that we went with the flow. This is where Vikkz & Mania started getting followers and fans. The Vikkz & Mania Signature sounds were made during this phase.
It all started with Vikkz & Mania – Mission complete, which had so much support before it was even released. Sadly enough, the track is still not released, but hopefully will be one day!
That's when Vikkz & Mania found it's way in meme's and making use of social media and trends. We decided to use videos that were going viral on the internet and remixing those.
Our fist meme remix: Vikkz & Mania – Howbowdat was discovered by Thomas Hayden and he wanted to release it under his label. This Track got over 80k Plays overall.
Now Vikkz & Mania is getting into many diffirent styles like Drum & Bass, Deep House, Commercial House, Future Bass, Techno, and many more.
2018 Looks promising!
What´s new right now?
We started 2018 making a promise to our followers: Every 1st day of the month, we'll release a track.
The 1st of January we released our Single: Vikkz & Mania – Try.
Try is a single that should give you the summer feelings and make you look forward to summer. It's a lso the first time that we used our own vocals. Sung by Manu van Aalst.
