Love based house | techno label founded by dj and producer Damiano von Erckert.
"ava." is committed to the tradition of House and Techno, while seeking the permanent link to freshness and innovation. Being open to external influences and with paying tribute to contemporary clubmusic, we want to contribute to its development and offer a platform to emerging artists as well as to the interested public.
It´s not only a label but a collective of Cologne`s house music scene. "ava." brings a lot of Cologne house artists like Murat Tepeli, Damiano von Erckert, Andy Vaz, Funkycan, Ugly Drums, Harry Swinger aka Superswinger, Martin Beume etc. together and provides a platform for joint projects and new ideas. Even artists living outside of Cologne like Lowtec, Christopher Rau and others are represented.
