Let’s be real: 2024 was the year for Cafe De Anatolia. They didn’t just snag the top spot on Beatport—they dominated it, being named both the Top-Selling Label and Top-Selling Artist in the Organic House genre. That’s right, they pulled off a feat that’s never happened before. And it’s not just a numbers game; this is about years of hustle, passion, and a global community that backs them every step of the way.
A Vision Years in the Making
The roots of Cafe De Anatolia run deep. Founded officially in 2017 by Monika Ilieva, Nikola Iliev (aka Rialians On Earth/Nickarth), and Zoran Iliev (Billy Esteban), the idea actually dates back to 2009. What started as a concept has grown into something much bigger—a movement that’s not only shaped the Organic House genre but defined it.
For over a decade, Cafe De Anatolia has blended deep, soulful sounds with cultural depth, turning a niche into a global phenomenon. Their 2024 win isn’t just about streams and charts—it’s a nod to their legacy as pioneers and trailblazers in electronic music.
Strategic Moves That Paid Off
Last year, Cafe De Anatolia made some big moves to expand their reach. They acquired five brands—TAKE IT EASY, TEKLA DUDUCHAVA, BAKINEC MUSIC, GALAXY, SOUND OF SOUL LOUNGE, and TBILISI PLAY—each bringing something unique to the table. What ties them all together? A massive YouTube presence. With over 3 million subscribers between them, these channels have become a promotional powerhouse, connecting artists with listeners who are hungry for more of that Organic House magic.
This wasn’t just about growth for growth’s sake. It was about creating an ecosystem where artists could thrive, collaborate, and reach audiences they might’ve never tapped into otherwise. And it’s clearly working.
Built on Community
What sets Cafe De Anatolia apart is how they’ve built a family. Their artists push boundaries, delivering music that hits you right in the soul—from hypnotic grooves to melodies that linger long after the track ends. Fans aren’t just casual listeners; they’re part of the movement.
The label’s success is a shared one. Every producer, artist, team member, and fan has played a role in turning this dream into reality. That sense of collective energy has propelled Cafe De Anatolia to the top, and it’s what makes their music resonate so powerfully across the globe.
Eyes on the Future
While 2024 might feel like a peak, Cafe De Anatolia isn’t slowing down. They’re already looking ahead, ready to keep evolving alongside the Organic House genre. Whether it’s fostering new talent, exploring fresh sounds, or pushing the limits of what a label can do, their focus is firmly on what’s next.
This isn’t just a victory lap—it’s a stepping stone. The Cafe De Anatolia team is fired up to keep creating, connecting, and proving why they’re at the top of their game. If 2024 was any indication, the future’s looking bright for Organic House and the ever-growing Cafe De Anatolia family.
Here’s to more music, more connections, and more reasons to hit repeat.
