Cafe De Anatolia’s Rise to Global Fame: Beatport Awards 2025 Nomination

Cafe De Anatolia earns a Top 5 Hype Label spot at the Beatport Awards 2025, solidifying its global impact on organic house and electronic music culture.

In 2025, this vision reached new heights. The label was nominated as one of the Top 5 Hype Labels in the world at the prestigious Beatport Awards. The nomination reflects years of innovation and a bold leap into the future of organic house and downtempo music.

Beyond Music: A Cultural Movement

Cafe De Anatolia is not confined to sound. It has expanded into fashion, travel, and luxury hospitality. Through global partnerships, the brand curates experiences that go far beyond playlists.

High-end fashion houses like Giorgio Armani have embraced the label’s deep, textured beats. Luxury hotels including W Hotels, Radisson Blu, and Four Seasons use its immersive soundscapes to enhance elite guest experiences. In collaboration with Go Türkiye and Halk Bank, the label showcases how music can amplify both cultural and commercial storytelling.
One unforgettable milestone was becoming the first Macedonian brand to appear on a Times Square billboard in New York City. That moment sealed Cafe De Anatolia’s status as a global cultural icon.

A Vision That Transcends Borders

Founded in 2017 by Monika Ilieva, Nikola Iliev (Nickarth), and Zoran Iliev (Billy Esteban), Cafe De Anatolia was born from a dream. That dream was to connect people across continents through music.

The label blends Middle Eastern, Anatolian, Mediterranean (organic elements) with modern electronic beats.


The result? A timeless, emotional sound that moves people on a spiritual level.
It’s not just music. It’s a message. A shared rhythm that unites.

What Makes a Hype Label?

At the Beatport Awards, the ‘Hype Label of the Year’ is reserved for brands that break the mold. These are platforms that shape the future of music, not follow trends.


To be nominated among the top five globally is more than a compliment. It’s confirmation that Cafe De Anatolia is leading the underground electronic scene. The label is loved by its community. Admired by critics. Respected by peers.


This recognition is shared by every artist, fan, and partner who has believed in the journey. It’s also a nod to Proton Radio, the label’s trusted distributor, for helping bring its sound to every corner of the world.

Global Reach, Lasting Impact

Since its launch, Cafe De Anatolia has achieved stunning growth. Its numbers speak volumes. Over 30 million subscribers on YouTube. More than 1 billion views globally. Thousands of tracks released and shared across platforms. Collaborations with 5,000+ artists worldwide. It is one of the most streamed and respected labels in the organic house genre. And it’s still just getting started.

The Future Sounds Bright

Looking ahead, Cafe De Anatolia aims to expand further. New artists. Bigger stages. Deeper sounds. More unforgettable moments. The mission remains clear: to create soul-stirring music that crosses borders, celebrates culture, and brings people together. As the Beatport Awards 2025 approach, the message is simple: this is only the beginning.
