Don’t Watch TV – Victor Ruiz

Victor Ruiz has released ‘Don’t Watch TV’ showcasing his signature techno vision and ongoing evolution. Ruiz continues to define his distinct techno identity with this track as it balances direct messaging with a topic of our media usage. The Brazilian-born, Berlin-based producer has spent the past decade building a reputation of powerful, no-nonsense techno. His sound is truly unique and his sets are full or energy and well curated productions. He first gained global attention through releases on respected labels like Drumcode, Suara, and Tronic, with support from Adam Beyer helping propel him onto international stages.

The Track

With ‘Don’t Watch TV’, Ruiz leans into minimalism. The repetitive phrase anchors the track, and the percussion maintains constant momentum. This track is designed for large sound systems, it’s something you would hear at a music festival or a club like Ushuaïa Ibiza. Notably, the track’s design shows Victor Ruiz’s mastery and refinement behind the decks and in the studio. ‘Don’t Watch TV’ fits naturally within that trajectory, reinforcing a career built on consistency, and evolution.

The track gradually introduces its layers, locking you into the groove as the tension builds. From there, it breaks up and down giving you time to reset your energy and release on the dance floor. Beyond this release, Ruiz has hinted at several upcoming projects. New material is expected across multiple imprints in 2026 through his label Volta Records. Additionally, you can also catch him at the Blossom Festival Launch Party in Australia. Stream to ‘Don’t Watch TV’ across all platforms now.
