Sven Väth
Sven Väth (born 26 October 1964) is a German DJ and electronic music producer. He is a three-time DJ Awards winner, with a career in electronic music spanning over 40 years. The release of the single "Electrica Salsa" with OFF in 1986 launched his career. Known as "Papa Sven" by his fans, Väth became one of Germany's pop stars in the 1990s, establishing two nightclubs in Germany and founding his own company, Cocoon, which includes a booking agency, record label, and event management branch.
Väth is recognised for his significant influence on the underground electronic music scene both in Germany and Ibiza, holding his own night at Amnesia for 18 years and hosting after-parties at creative locations across the island. A major advocate of vinyl, he performs his extensive DJ sets using only two decks and a mixer, with his longest set lasting 30 hours.
