At just 26, Portuguese producer and DJ AVÖ isn’t following the wave—he is the undertow. A genre-blurring architect of Afro and Melodic House, AVÖ has quietly become a global force, building hypnotic tracks that stretch from Lisbon basements to Balinese cliffsides. His breakout single Dana Dana clocked 10 million streams like it was a sunrise ritual. Only You pulled in another 7 million. And when your tracks are in rotation by giants like Black Coffee, Keinemusik, Diplo, and Adriatique, you’re not just being noticed—you’re being summoned.
AVÖ isn’t defined by subgenres. His sound doesn’t live in a box. Every drop, every synth swell, every vocal chop feels hand-stitched to the energy in the room. That intuition; equal parts vibe, timing, and soul, makes his live sets unforgettable.
He brings that style to life on his latest ‘I Don’t Know’ with Jawora, joining Francis Mercier and Ajamu Kambon’s Deep Root Tribe label. A belting melodic house cut that defies genre-definitions, ‘I Don’t Know’ is as haunting as it is rhythmic; a collection of driving Afro house percussion swirling in a void of swelling synths and space-y touches.
