Anna Gavanas is a DJ, producer and writer whose latest work helps her uphold the memories of her late brother.

Communicating Beyond Life and Death

Stockholm-based Anna Gavanas has been DJing since the 90s. Away from the decks, she’s also a multi-faceted producer, author and researcher.

During the pandemic and its lockdowns, communities like the dance music world were stripped of their platforms for expression and social togetherness. Gavanas used her lockdown as an opportunity to isolate herself in the studio and create new music.

During this time, she discovered an old cassette tape of her brother – who passed away more than 20 years. Sampling his voice, Ganavas used these echoes of her past as a form of collaboration for one of the new tracks.

”When my brother was alive, he truly lived for the music. It has been such an interesting experience collaborating with him on this new track, 20 years after his passing. He still makes me laugh, just like when we were growing up.”

Hosting: Creative Community Talks in Berlin

Berlin is a centre of culture that refuses to stop innovating, a place that embraces changes in direction, styles and ideals. We took a road trip to Germany’s capital to host panel talks with some of its most innovative creatives in an event that blended merch with discussions on digital processes, communal bonds and progressive brand building.

Huston’s journey to the land of on demand merch is inspiration and refreshing. A compact but effective design and advertising studio by trade, its founders use merch as an extra communication channel and a way to exercise their creative muscles when ideas hit. We hopped on a call with co-founder Andreas Lucaci for a fascinating chat on the creative landscapes.
