Mustafa Avdić

"WELCOME TO THE "OONTZ OONTZ TECHNO STUFF, BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER SINCE 1984"

Mustafa Avdic was born in Doboj (Bosnia) and has been mixing since 1999. Assisting his long time friend with sound and light shows at local Clubs in Des Moines (Iowa) led to the birth of this young DJ/Producer. Between 1999-2002 he became a resident DJ at local clubs "Papillon" and "Estrada".



His love for electronic music was inspired by world class producers in the likes of Chris Liebing, DJ Rush, Richie Hawtin as well as other musical figures such as Jim Morrison & Jimmy Hendrix.



Since 1999 Mustafa has built a strong fan base for electronic music in the Midwest. While still considered a Rookie he quickly stepped up to the challenge and started producing his own style of Techno with the use of Ableton LIVE and Propellerhead’s Reason program.



Although Mustafa's full-time school schedule and job have held him back from spending more time on music production, his goal in life is and continues to be to enlighten and bring joy to those who appreciate the sounds of Techno.



The motivation that he received during his time overseas in the past years, pushed him to create and release his first EP produced with partner Matt Rissi on Chicago's imprint Zuvuya Recordings, which came out early summer of 2007. This release gained immediate approval and support from the world famous Dave Clarke and was licensed by Belgium’s MusicMan Records to be used on the Internationally spotlighted ‘I LOVE TECHNO 2007’ cd mixed by none other than Dave Clarke himself.



Shortly after the success of their first release Mustafa and Matt Rissi launched Solar Cathedral Recordings all the while their latest releases on Zuvuya and Giant Squid Recordings had hit the top 100 charts on the Beatport and Juno download sites. His releases have gained support from DJ's like Dubfire, Danny Tengalia, Laurent Garnier, Roger Sanchez, Dave Clarke, DJ Misjah, Alex Bau, Paco Osuna, Mihalis Safras, Mark Broom, Valentino Kanzyani, and many more. The success of their label is snowballing more and more every day and with a stream of releases scheduled to drop in the upcoming months. The amount of love and respect that the Solar Cathedral boys receive is continuing to grow by the minute.
