Blend & For303 X-Mas Special: PAWSA & Liva K Live at the Universe Multivenue — Saturday, December 20th

In a scene that moves at the speed of a strobe light, only a handful of artists manage to shape a sound so distinct that it becomes instantly recognizable. PAWSA, born David Esekhile in London, is one of those rare figures. With an instinctive feel for groove and a production style built on character and confidence, he has steadily evolved from an underground favourite into one of the most influential names in modern tech house.

PAWSA’s journey began in 2014 with the release of his debut EP, ''Pilot'', a project that quickly positioned him as a fresh new talent. Just a year later, in 2015, he and Michael Bibi founded Solid Grooves, a label and club brand that has since grown into a global powerhouse. Their residency at DC-10 remains one of the most sought-after nights in Ibiza, defining the sound of countless summers on the island. PAWSA’s reputation only continued to build as he shared the booth with heavyweights like Marco Carola, performing at Pacha Ibiza under the world renowned Music On banner, a stamp of approval that speaks volumes in itself.

In 2017, PAWSA unveiled his own imprint, PAWZ, a creative outlet where he explores more experimental and personal directions. But it was the period of 2024–2025 that elevated his profile to new heights. A run of standout releases such “PICK UP THE PHONE,” “Too Cool To Be Careless,” “COLLECT THE COMMAS,” and his rework of “Dirty Cash (Money Talks)” ,dominated UK dance charts and fueled major streaming momentum. His impact was solidified further when he delivered a widely praised BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in 2024, followed by the inclusion of his 2025 single “DOUBLE C” on the official soundtrack of F1 The Movie.

Beyond his solo success, PAWSA continues to expand his creative reach with GOLFOS, his collaborative project with Spanish DJ Dennis Cruz. Their high energy B2B sets have become a global attraction, blending their unique styles into one seamless, rolling groove that always ignites the room.

For those craving a truly immersive dose of the modern Ibiza sound, this Christmas special will be unmissable. PAWSA’s appearance at the Universe Multivenue promises a night of deep energy and that unmistakable Solid Grooves attitude. Listen to some of his major hits below.

Joining him is Liva K, one of Greece’s most respected DJs and producers, known for his international releases and standout presence in the Mediterranean club circuit. His addition completes the night’s lineup with a sense of occasion, especially as this is likely to be his final Athens performance of 2025.
