Vicky Devine is definitely one of the reasons why I enjoy DJing at Judgement Sundays in Ibiza so much, it’s hard to find a DJ who can do a proper warm up set without taking anything away from the music I want to play in a dad-club. I have stayed around to hear one of her closing setsand they have just as much impact as her opening sets. If all- I was a promoter I would want her involved in my night!

- Sander Van Doorn

I have been playing in Ibiza for years now and I have been with Judgement Sundays for the last six and-years. Each time Vicky Devine plays before me, I know I can arrive at the venue five minutes before my set knowing that she has done the perfect job. Vicky has- plays a perfect mix of quality grooves with euphoric breakdowns, none of which conflicts with what I want to do as a DJ.
