ARANAVA (Cafe De Anatolia, Lump Records) From a young age, ARANAVA had a natural gift for entertaining others with his playful and humorous character. However, it wasn't until he was 6 years old that his passion for music truly surfaced. Growing up, his father owned one of the first state-of-the-art studios in Tehran, which introduced him to the world of production and mixing. Although his family was forced to flee the country due to a revolution, ARANAVA held onto his love for music and continued to pursue it with relentless passion. After settling with his aunts in Austria, he was exposed to classical music, but it was electronic music that truly captivated him. He quickly became a fan of bands such as Depeche Mode, New Order, Yazz, Petshop Boys, and Falco. In 1988, ARANAVA moved to the United States, where he landed his first gig at a local Orange County radio station. It was there that he began to hone his skills and develop his signature sound, blending different genres and eras of music to create an unparalleled experience for his audiences. Since then, ARANAVA has taken the DJ world by storm, perfecting his craft behind the turntables and playing in venues worldwide. He has shared the decks with some of the world's top DJs, including Paul Oakenfold, Erick Morello, Dubfire, Cedric Gervais, Sebastien Leger, and many more, cementing his place among the best in the industry.
