Víctor Martínez aka Error Etica is one of the most prestigious producers of the Spanish techno scene, a seasoned veteran in electronic creation with a career spanning several decades whether as a producer, live artist or DJ. His works have seen the light on his own label and on many of the fundamental labels of the techno world.
From his small laboratory located in the La Rioja area, he replicates the ancient art of creating the best wines in the form of musical production, with an exhaustive knowledge of electronic tools and instruments to convey his timeless message.
Victor developed his passion for music and as a vinyl collector at a young age. He started playing in local clubs as a teenager as well as working for Spain’s biggest music importer at the time “Kiko Vinilo Distribution” which allowed Victor to have first-hand access to the newest music material ahead of time.
In the late 90’s, Victor performed regularly in the most exclusive underground clubs of Northern Spain such as Mas&Mas (Pamplona), Pagoa (Vasque Country), Pravda (Vitoria), Sala Jam (Bergara) where he shared center stage with top international Dj’s.
With a career that spans over 25 years, more than 30 edited records and various albums, Victor has developed a unique and personal style which can be experienced through his particular Dj sets exploring many subgenres of electronic.
In 2004 he launched his own label Psychoskunk Recordings, he imprint his own material and continues to working nowadays. That same year, at the age of just 24 years old, he had his first international gig in Leeds (UK), such as the sessions programmed by Pelacha at “One” Madrid and those programmed by Ángel Molina at Piu / Spunny (BCN), which launched his debut in the Spanish capitals. In 2006 he released “Neljäs Runo” (12”) on the Swedish label Pohjola owner by Grovskopa, and in 2007 on the London label Sect he released “Dad to Dub” (12”) with: D-Knows (Sonic Mind), Detroit, and Fanon Flowers (Mechanics Industries LA), he began his international recognition, appearing on Charts, Radio Shows, and compilations by artists such as Luke Slater, Surgeon, Oscar Mulero...

His works moves from experimental landscapes full of precise details to elastic techno exercises for the busiest hours of the club, passing through risky forays with distortion as a fundamental weapon or broken rhythms. All of this varnished with a very IDM aftertaste that reflects his passion for the most intricate sounds of the British electronic tradition of artists like Autechre.
The result is a coherent soundtrack of a dystopian, intricate and mental future, a musical ecosystem that travels through unknown places, coming from the mind of an artist who translates with his machinery a complex and distant inner world, which is also capable of transporting to the stages with genius in one of the most dynamic Live Acts on the scene.
Being faithful to his philosophy, Victor is continuously evolving; generating ground breaking sounds and new heights in techno over various fields of contemporary creation by composing soundtracks for documentaries, short films, trailers, commercials making off... Victor is a self-made artist who moves away from trends and manners. His personal music style will immerse you in a deep, dark and energetic crush with lots of energy!
