Aytiwan Expands His Afro House Career With Black Coffee Support
Aytiwan discusses his Afro House career, support from Black Coffee, performances at Tomorrowland and Eden Ibiza, and the growth of Afrosteria
With a connection to electronic music stretching back more than 20 years, Aytiwan has spent the past few years establishing a new chapter through his current project. His music draws heavily from Afro House and Afro Tech, with rhythm and emotion remaining central to the productions he releases. That work has already earned support from Black Coffee, taken him to Tomorrowland and Eden Ibiza, and given him another platform through his Tipik radio show and Afrosteria label.
Black Coffee’s Support Introduced Aytiwan to New Audiences
One of the most important developments in Aytiwan’s recent career has come through continued support from Black Coffee. The South African artist has played Aytiwan’s edit of Ilario Alicante’s Vacaciones En Chile across several international shows, including the Roman Arena in Pula, Buda Castle in Budapest, the Royal Palace in Brussels, Hï Ibiza and Pacha New York.

That support has given the track exposure across several major venues while introducing Aytiwan’s music to listeners outside his existing audience. It also reflects the progress of a project that is relatively new compared with his longer relationship with electronic music, with the past few years bringing several important opportunities both in the studio and through live performances.
From Tomorrowland to Eden Ibiza and Belgian Radio
Live performances have become another important part of Aytiwan’s recent work, with appearances across clubs and festivals in Europe. His schedule has included a headline performance at Eden Ibiza and an appearance at Tomorrowland, giving him opportunities to present his Afro House sound in very different settings.

Away from the booth, Aytiwan also hosts an Afro House radio show on Belgian national station Tipik. The show gives him another way to share the music he follows and plays, while his own productions continue to develop alongside his performances and radio work.
Afrosteria Extends Aytiwan’s Work Beyond His Own Releases
His involvement in the genre also continues through Afrosteria, the Afro House label he founded to support both his own music and other artists. The label has grown beyond releases through events that bring artists and listeners together, giving Aytiwan another outlet within the scene alongside his studio work, performances and radio show.
With new music still to come, Aytiwan is continuing to develop both the label and his own releases after several years of growing international activity. The combination of support from Black Coffee, appearances at Tomorrowland and Eden Ibiza, and his work with Afrosteria gives the project several different areas to continue exploring next.
