Avanti (label)

AVANTI—also known as AVANTI by Black Hole or stylized as A¥ANTI—was launched in 1999 as a sub-label of Black Hole Recordings, founded by Tiësto. Initially called Black Hole Avanti, it focused on trance and techno, featuring artists such as Yahel, Vincenzo, and DJ Montana. The label ceased releasing music in 2002.

In 2008, following Tiësto’s departure from Black Hole Recordings, the label was relaunched under the shortened name Avanti with a redesigned identity. Its sound shifted from trance and progressive house toward electro house, signing acts like Zoo Brazil, Beltek, Phunk Investigation, Jonas Steur, Robbie Rivera, and DJ Ton T.B. This run ended in 2014.

The label was revived again in late 2016 by trance producer Kris O’Neil, returning to its progressive house and trance roots. New signings included Matt Fax and Luke Chable.
