UPAVAS (USA)

Upavas was born in Berlin, Germany in 1969. When he was around 16 he took off to India for a 3 month trip that was to become a 4 year trip instead where (it was winter 1985-86) a new kind of party was created in Goa, involving a kind of music that was later to be known as Techno-House and that was mostly electronic sound.

He immediately fell in love with this kind of sound and a new passion was born. Having experienced and helped at many parties Upavas felt it was time to start djing on parties and moved to Ibiza, Spain where he and some friends opened a Beach bar featuring Ambient Chill out and Full On called Fun. He connected this place with the very famous Ibizenco Club Amnesia. After 3 years in Ibiza Upavas made new friends in California and Hawai'i, he decided that spinning music was not enough for him, so he started to make his own sound. At that time he also connected with Philosonik and Evolving Arts was founded in Hawaii.
