To discover is to grow. To expand. It begins with a small step, then leaps into something much bigger—a leap of faith, like Ollie Mundy‘s journey.

The British DJ first made waves in 2013, cutting his teeth in London clubs alongside Robert Charles and Craig Richards. From 2017 to 2020, Ollie became a familiar name at Lost in Sound, where his distinctive sound steadily gained traction.

Ollie’s path as a label head began on YouTube. His Deep Tunes for Deep Playa series quickly caught attention, delivering his first 10 signature sets—each deeply inspired by the sonic spirit of Burning Man. That sound found an audience worldwide. Regular slots on Bloop Radio followed, and soon, support came from the likes of Black Coffee, Claptone, and Manoo.

Then came 2024—a cornerstone year. Ollie played Fabric in London, lit up the dust at Burning Man in the U.S., and took the decks at Pikes in Ibiza. Soon after, he relocated to Ibiza, soaking up its immersive clubbing culture. That experience gave birth to OVAVA Music—launched in 2024 with a vision rooted in the ethics of Burning Man and the heartbeat of Ibiza’s dancefloors.

The label released standout records with DJ Hydra and PRAMA. DJ Hydra’s debut EP, Moyo Wa Upendo, broke into the Traxsource Afro House Top 10, while PRAMA scored an impressive Beatport No.1 on the Afro House chart. Most recently, OVAVA introduced Fogel’s “Breathing Sea”—a track tailor-made for sun-soaked, late-night dancefloors across Ibiza—set to be released this Friday, July 11.
