The Panteros666 Story:

"Victor Watel a.k.a Panteros666 grew up in the cold and trashy North of France, where Hardstyle and Jumpstyle have been around for years due to the region’s proximity to Belgium.Fascinated by the dark side of new technologies and the new cyber white trash lifestyle generated by nerdy internet culture, Victor became a true multimedia man. Working in the realms of communication and advertising by day like some sort of animated gif era Don Draper, Victor is also active on French internet video platforms via his hilarious viral comedy skits under the moniker Kamel Toe. But Victor has also always been a musician. Initially a drummer for multiple indie groups, now playing with dance-punk act Sexual Earthquake in Kobe, he started producing electronic music a couple of years ago, taking up the name Panteros666. While exploring the tropical sounds of dancehall, African house and South American dance music under the influence of collaborators such as Douster, Canblaster and Myd, Panteros was looking for an extra ingredient to make his music really unique, original, and truly representative of his cultural background. That’s when he had the idea to inject a healthy dose of Gabber kicks, Jumpstyle grooves and hard ass synths in the mix. Hard dance had often been a taboo for so-called tasteful electronic music lovers, so merging this terribly cold, nordic, dark and unapologetically WHITE music with warm, tropical, ghetto and even mystical/spiritual Native American influences was a rather extreme experiment, almost a political statement. By doing so he not only created a never heard before alliance in dance music, but also maybe one of the first truly French answers to extreme American ghetto dance music genres such as Juke, Footwork or Ghettotech."
