YABOYA

DJ in Cleveland, Ohio

Paul McAvinchey, performing as YABOYA, is a House DJ from Ireland, now based in Cleveland, Ohio. He’s made an impact on the underground electronic music scene in Cleveland, playing upbeat sets with edgy, hypnotic grooves (check out a selection on Mixcloud) in B Side, Dunlaps, The Bird’s Nest, and other venues. He’s also a promoter, putting on multiple “VERSUS” club nights - pitting one music genre against another – and the founder of “wonderful”, Cleveland's Tech House Collaborative. Recently he was nominated as one of the best DJs in the city by Cleveland Scene Magazine. YABOYA is heavily influenced by the dance music scene in Dublin and the UK in the late 90s and early 2000s where he got his first taste of pumping House and Techno from the likes of Sasha, Nick Warren, Laurent Garnier, Dave Clark, and US-based legends Todd Terry, Felix da Housecat and many others.
