ONYVA
by Oliver Cookson
Booking enquires: [email protected]: [email protected] ONYVA name and sound is the culmination of a lifetime spent immersed in electronic music. The early nineties rave scene is an era that heavily influences ONYVA today. ONYVA originates from the French saying “Let's Go” embodying the underlying theme present throughout his music. ONYVA creates an eclectic range of music from downtempo music to funky groove-driven house music to minimal techno, but one constant is the infectious energy his music elicits. ONYVA is an enigma, which is rare in today's dance music landscape consumed by commercialism and predictability. Allowing him to express himself freely with truly captivating works like 'Round Sound' and 'Flow Wave'. Further proof is the 350k+ streams he has amassed on Spotify alone showing his capability to craft original and timeless music This appetite for pushing the envelope has garnered attention from all corners of the underground, and

We Need Some (Original 2018 Mix)
A track I did in 2018 sampling one of my favourite old-skool Italian anthems. Never released it if asked I will look to release or add as a free download.

Momentum by ONYVA (Feb 2026) [Indie House]
Built for that point in the night when the energy starts to lift. Indie leaning. Melodic tension. Tight grooves. No fillers. A focused selection of records I have loved over the last few years, shaped into a clean arc from lift to pressure to release. ONYVA I've put a bonus track at the end (unreleased new remix of mine)

Beyond All Logic (Original Mix)
Beyond All Logic is the second chapter of the EP. Where Emotion Knows No Logic opens from the heart, this original ONYVA cut turns inward. It is more restrained, more reflective, built on subtle tension rather than obvious release. A steady low end and evolving textures create space to breathe. Nothing forced. Nothing dramatic. Just controlled movement and quiet intensity. This one is not about the peak of the night. It is about the moment after, when the room thins out and everything feels a little more honest. Beyond All Logic is designed for those deeper hours. For listening as much as dancing.

Loving You More (ONYVA Rework)
This has been a long-standing favourite of mine, so the intention was always to respect the emotion and essence of the original, while introducing a more modern, deeper groove and atmosphere. Feedback welcome and if gets enough requests will consider a free download.

Vocal House Classics Reimagined (Summer Mix)
Vocal House Classics Reimagined is a 1 hour mix through the classic vocal records I love. I've made some edits and used reworks and modern takes on timeless tunes. Expect warm grooves, deep emotion, and familiar hooks with a fresh twist. Also an unreleased ONYVA deeper remix of the classic 'Put ’Em High' midway through. Made for summer days, golden hours, and feel-good moments. If you enjoy it, pass it on. >Mixed live by ONYVA in Ibiza.

ONYVA – Sacred Soul (Original Mix)
A new original from me something more personal and reflective. This one moves in a different direction. Deep, emotional, built for the early hours. Wide, haunting lead. Warm groove. Space to breathe. Made for villas, terraces and introspective sessions. Out soon.

Put ’Em High (ONYVA Rework) [FREE DOWNLOAD]
Sometimes you just want to remix a feeling, not a track. This vocal is one of my all-time favourites it’s pure nostalgia from the old school funky house days and brings back some incredible memories. I wanted to give it a deeper, more modern twist in my ONYVA style something for those sunrise moments, when the dancefloor’s thinned, but the connection’s stronger than ever. Inspired by Ibiza, built for the afters, and freely given to anyone who’s ever felt that early-morning magic. I’ve got an original coming next that’s deeper, more emotional, and a new sound I have been working on. Much love, ONYVA

Emotion Knows No Logic (Original Mix)
Emotion Knows No Logic is a deep, hypnotic journey through sound and sentiment. This track blends late-night minimal grooves with soulful textures, capturing those moments when words fail and only feeling remains. Crafted for intimate dance floors, villa afterhours, and solo headphone sessions. The groove builds gently, driven by emotion rather than formula — because logic does not always lead the way. 🎧 Preview only – currently unsigned. :) 🖤 Follow for more: @ONYVAofficial

Mix: Emotion Knows No Logic (A Cinematic Deep House Afterhours Mix)
'Emotion Knows No Logic' is the most honest way I could express what I was feeling. It started as a live mix raw and real captured in a single take. But I knew the story deserved more. So I reworked it, track by track. Every transition, every bridge, every track has been carefully reshaped to honour the journey. I created a custom intro, bespoke outro, and a series of subtle edits and custom reworks some unreleased ONYVA tracks included to make the energy flow across a true arc. It’s made for those moments when you’re driving alone at night… or deep into an afterhours sunrise, where words stop working and only music makes sense. 🎧 Listen start to finish for the full journey. 🔗 Free Download → https://hypeddit.com/onyva/mixemotionknowsnologic 📸 Instagram → @onyvamusic 💌 Follow for upcoming drops + behind-the-scenes Tracklist: 1.

ONYVA - Look Around (Original Mix) [Supported by John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Bushwacka]
'Look Around' by ONYVA has received such a wonderful reception in the winter of 2024, with early support ranging from John Digweed to Damian Lazarus to Ida Endberg and many more - it is a unique piece of music, with a heads down chill sensibility - melodic layers set atop a wispy synth, before the penultimate 4/4 section after the break. On the flip side is Dougal Fox with his own tasteful interpretation - retaining elements of the original but with a darker fresh twist. ONYVA has an internationally celebrated 30 year plus career as one of the leaders of electronic music and we are thrilled to have him on this release. 'Look Around' has seen support from Bushwacka!, Dave Seaman, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia and many more. We hope you enjoy this latest single and please make sure to follow ONYVA on all of his social media and online websites, where we have limited edition vinyl merchandise and baseball hats for the season.

Distant Light (Original Mix) [Supported by: Danny Howells, Mano Le Tough]
The next ONYVA release is absolutely fantastic -'Distant Light' is the name, a perfect addition to his repertoire of warm-weather groovers. His musicality and experience as a resident DJ in Ibiza lends itself beautifully to his compositional writing and work - in a simpler way - ONYVA 'gets it' - that club sensibility mixed with soul is what gives this artist identity. With its dark sonar feel and swifty drums, we feel the pulsating energy that 'Distant Light' provides right from the start. ONYVA has made a dancefloor banger, while keeping the hypnotic sway with his production work that is belovedly crafted. Percussive hits get filtered and fattened, and a cascade of toms and bells fall over the dancefloor. This release is a lead up to ONYVA's full EP which has already seen widespread support from Joris Voorn to Danny Howells to Mano Le Tough and many more.

TWAX (Original Mix) [Supported by: Joris Voorn, Nic Fanciulli and more]
British native ONYVA releases a smoldering record 'TWAX', the perfect addition to his repertoire of warm-weather groovers. Born and raised in the land where electronic music flourishes, ONYVA mixes his many years of musical experience with beachside vibes to produce his energizing, groovy sound. With its melodic arps and hefty kick, we feel the pulsating energy that 'TWAX' provides right from the start. ONYVA has made a dancefloor banger, while keeping the hypnotic sway with production work that is belovedly crafted. Percussive hits get filtered and fattened, and a cascade of toms and bells fall over the dancefloor. This release is a lead up to ONYVA's full EP which has already seen widespread support from Joris Voorn to Danny Howells to Mano Le Tough and many more. Flashes of hypnotic peaking club memories juxtaposed with cutting edge modular club techno motifs - this is the sound of Ray Of Light - honouring and respecting our past whilst looking ahead to the future and what can be created. Thank you for being an early supporter of our labels vision - and we will be releasing limited edition vinyl throughout the year on our music.

Piano Fly (Original Mix) [Freakin 303]
Making his debut on Freakin303 is UK artist Onyva with two exciting originals. Hailing from Manchester Onyva (or Oliver to his friends) has really found his stride in recent years with tracks signed to Toolroom and CR2 not to mention his own ON IT label which grows from strength to strength. 'Electric Waterfall' is a groovy electro-tinged cut with an infectious hook. Solid kicks and crisp hats lead the way as the melodics begin to take control add to that a rubbery off beat bass and dancefloor carnage is assured. 'Piano Fly' is an altogether different beast. Soulful and deep from the off the summery piano that drifts into earshot is life-affirming and joyous. A perfect soundtrack for welcoming back the sun. https://www.beatport.com/release/electric-waterfall-ep/2814986

ON IT Recordings start their year on a reflective note with a tasty new compilation highlighting some of their key releases since their inception in 2017. Giant dancefloor gems come from Jey Kurmis, Hott Like Detroit, Funk D'Void and more, along with ON IT chief ONYVA's biggest label release to date 'Tibetan People'. The compilation also features 4 brand new exclusives for 2018 including Hott Like Detroit's 'Want My Thing, Mark Holmes & David Bradshaw's 'You', along with some heat from newcomers to the ON IT crew including Yorkshire's Franky Wah with 'Empire' and MEMA with 'Show Me'. In addition, ON IT's boss ONYVA flexes his DJ muscles and delivers a mighty mixed version of the album to enjoy. 'Its been a great year for the label with some amazing new signings coming on board. Here's a collection of some of my favourites, although there were so many to choose from it was hard to make the final selection. We thank you for your support in the last year and to all the artists that helped make the label possible. There's more where this came from in 2018! We are #ONIT. " - ONYVA

Colour Mix Series: Purple (Jul 16') [mix]
The third mix in my "Colour Series". Each colour represents the mix ranging from ambient (white) to techno (black) and everything in-between, however mainly focusing within house and techno genres. A longer mix at 1 hour starting off with a more deep progressive side of house with long and softer mixing and then a very deliberate change of direction half way though the mix, focusing more on the style you would hear on a tech dance floor with a more edgy and raw mixing style. Always mixed live and by the ear in the bunker.

Colour Mix Series: Maroon (Mar 16') [hotmix]
The second mix in my "Colour Series". Each colour represents the mix ranging from ambient (white) to techno (black) and everything in-between, however mainly focusing within house and techno. Twisted vocals and FX are order of the day here. This mix starts off slightly lighter side of tech house and progresses to a darker side, hence why its the "maroon" mix. For this series mixing style will vary dependent on genre, but always mixed live and by the ear.
