Andrea Oliva

The Beginnings in Switzerland

Andreas Oliva, known worldwide as Andrea Oliva, was born on February 14, 1981, in Rheinfelden, canton of Aargau, Switzerland. He grew up in the town of Möhlin in a family with Italian roots. His connection to electronic music emerged very early; at just 12 years old, he began to learn DJing techniques as a self-taught student. At 16, he got a job at a record distribution store, gaining privileged access to a vast collection of vinyl and promos imported from all over Europe. This experience shaped his sharp musical judgment, focused on House and Techno. His talent allowed him to quickly secure coveted residencies at iconic Swiss clubs like Terminus and Pravda. As his reputation grew, he joined Agi Isaku, owner of the prestigious club Nordstern in Basel, to organize the legendary Banditz parties, achieving sell-outs and consolidating his figure in the national underground scene.

The Conquest of Ibiza and the Success of ANTS

Andrea Oliva's talent quickly crossed borders and, in 2004, he was invited for the first time to the mythical nightclub Space Ibiza. This opportunity marked the beginning of his successful relationship with the White Island. However, his true leap to global stardom came in 2013, when he became the star figure and main resident DJ of ANTS, the acclaimed party at the majestic Ushuaïa Ibiza. Commanding the dance floor with his unmistakable energetic style, his vibrant sets have captivated thousands of attendees every summer. This exceptional springboard has allowed him to take the essence of ANTS to the whole world and perform on impressive festival stages of the likes of Tomorrowland, Coachella, DGTL, and Sonus Festival, in addition to performing at renowned clubs like Hï Ibiza.
