Originally from Porto and inspired by the afro-house movement, DJ-producer AVÖ has set off on a musical journey. Pit-stopping at Café del Mar Phuket to helm the booth, AVÖ’s set to show that he’s rightly supported by Keinemusik and DJ heavyweights like Shimza. While you can’t box his style into one genre, his sets lean heavily into afro-house with a melodic build. And that translates into a frenzy driven not least by Only You, a proper Afro-house anthem. The percussion-heavy four-on-the-floor rhythm and layered African polyrhythms might drag you onto the dancefloor, but it’s the atmosphere AVÖ creates that lingers long after the set ends.
May 22. B500 (free for women with a ladies pass until 00.30am). AVÖ, Café del Mar Phuket. 10pm-late
