History
In 1999, the label's name was Black Hole Avanti, mainly releasing trance and techno music. Leaded by Tiësto, the label signed artists like Yahel, Vincenzo, or his friend DJ Montana among others. They stopped releasing music in 2002.
In 2008, after Tiësto departed from Black Hole Recordings, the label changed its name to Avanti, focusing on Progressive House and Trance, but slowly shifting into electro house. The label signed artists like Zoo Brazil, Beltek, Phunk Investigation, Jonas Steur, Robbie Rivera and DJ Ton T.B. among others. The label released music until 2012, where it marked its second stop.
Late 2016, Trance producer Kris O' Neil relaunched the label once more. The sound came back to its Progressive House and Trance roots, signing artists like Matt Fax and Luke Chable.
