Teaching himself to DJ at age 13, he spent his formative years working in record stores, a background that gifted him with the exceptional track selection and technical precision he is known for today.
The ANTS Phenomenon and Ibiza Dominance

In 2013, Andrea became a central figure in the launch of ANTS at Ushuaïa Ibiza. Over the last decade, he has served as the residency’s lead ambassador, transforming "The Colony" into one of the world's most successful underground parties. His performances at Hï Ibiza, Amnesia, and DC-10 have further solidified him as an essential pillar of Ibiza nightlife.

His sets are celebrated for their "groove-heavy" energy, seamlessly blending emotive melodies with driving rhythms that command massive festival crowds and intimate club floors alike.
Production and the 'All I Need' Era
In the studio, Oliva is a prolific producer with a discography spanning prestigious labels like Hot Creations, Cadenza, Saved Records, and Moon Harbour. His debut album, 4313, and hit tracks like "Scream" and "Vermona" have become modern club anthems. In recent years, he launched All I Need, a multi-faceted music, event, and lifestyle brand that represents his philosophy of putting creativity and self-expression first.
Whether through his radio appearances on BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix or his curated residency lineups, Andrea Oliva remains at the forefront of the tech house scene, constantly evolving while staying true to his underground roots.
