got the chance to ride an elephant and discover many places. The perks of traveling around the world as a DJ.

We as AVANA have made it our mission to strengthen the DJ community all over the world.
We would like to assist great DJs to connect and as a result spread the love for music.
Especially after the pandemic, that destoyed many bonds and sadly bankrupted many clubs.
As all of us share the same passion for music, our vision is to create a network of DJs that can also be connected in the Mekka of DJs: Ibiza.
In the following weeks we will highlight and introduce more DJs and are happy to assist everyone on their own unique journey.
You name it, we've got it!-AVANA
