Ollie Mundy’s acclaimed OVAVA Music imprint continues its rise as a tastemaker in the underground scene, delivering yet another standout release for global dancefloors. Timed perfectly with Burning Man, Belgian producer Ari unveils “Sunset,” a melodic techno journey already gaining momentum with top DJs and melodic tastemakers worldwide.
Blending light and shadow, “Sunset” evokes a dreamlike state where time slows and reality drifts away. Airy textures glide over a warm, grounding bassline, crafting an introspective atmosphere designed to move both body and soul. Built for emotional resonance, the track is tailor-made for those magical closing moments—leaving the dancefloor in a haze of euphoric calm as the final glow fades below the horizon.
A seasoned DJ and producer based in Belgium, Ari has been behind the decks since 2001 and producing since 2011. His versatile sound crosses Afro House, Tech-House, Deep Techno, and beyond, always infused with emotional depth and subtle melancholy. This multi-genre approach invites listeners to connect personally with each track, discovering new layers with every listen.
“Sunset” marks the 11th release on OVAVA Music, further cementing the label’s reputation as a hub for cutting-edge underground sounds. Under the guidance of label head Ollie Mundy, OVAVA Music has carved out its place in global nightlife culture. Ollie has expanded his reputation as both an artist and curator, performing across Europe and the US, while holding residencies with Organica in Ibiza and hosting a monthly show on Bloop Radio. His iconic Burning Man set has surpassed 2.6 million views, with support pouring in from heavyweights like Black Coffee, Damian Lazarus, Themba, MoBlack, Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Claptone, DJ Harvey, Tony Humphries, and many others.
Reflecting on the label’s evolution, Ollie Mundy shares:
“What started as a personal creative outlet has now evolved into a platform for emerging talent. It’s incredibly rewarding to provide a space for new artists to thrive and grow alongside the label. This evolution also brought the launch of OVAVA Music Radio, a 24/7 stream of seamless, ad-free music curated to reflect the deep, emotive sound we stand for. Over the next year, we’ll be introducing exclusive DJ shows from our artist roster and special guest selectors, bringing even more discovery into the mix.”
With recent performances at Pikes Ibiza for his Back To Mine residency, a 528 set supporting Sasha & John Digweed, and an upcoming Café del Mar showcase, Ollie Mundy continues to push boundaries for both himself and OVAVA Music. Ari’s “Sunset” serves as the latest chapter in that journey—a melodic, emotionally charged release that captures the essence of a dancefloor moment frozen in time.
