Forniva is a music producer and DJ from Sarajevo, currently based in Valencia, Spain. Renowned for his signature sound — a fusion of driving basslines, tight grooves, and emotive melodies — Forniva has carved out a distinct place in the electronic music scene.

With releases on acclaimed labels such as Katermukke, Steyoyoke, Purified, and Einmusika, his tracks have earned the support of global icons including Armin van Buuren, Sasha, Solomun, Maceo Plex, Damian Lazarus, Butch, Karmon, Loco Dice, Nicole Moudaber, Kölsch, Dixon, Agents of Time, Dubfire, WhoMadeWho, Eelke Kleijn, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, D-Nox, and Innellea, among others.

In 2016, Forniva became the resident DJ and event planning manager of Silver & Smoke, Bosnia’s most renowned underground club. The venue became synonymous with quality underground sound, hosting influential artists like HOSH, Eelke Kleijn, Patrice Bäumel, Edu Imbernon, Traumer, Brigado Crew, Quivver, YokoO, Cid Inc, BOg, and Third Son, with whom Forniva frequently shared the decks.

Beyond his hometown residency, Forniva has performed across the Balkans in leading venues such as Carpe Diem (Hvar), Ambasada Gavioli (Izola), Mladost (Belgrade), Aquarius (Zagreb), Crkva (Rijeka), SoundFactory (Zagreb), RatCat Tunel (Šibenik) and Monokel (Ljubljana). He has also played at major regional festivals including Freshwave, Festival 84, and Garden of Dreams, sharing stages with Henry Saiz, Guy J, Jeremy Olander, Oxia, and Olderic.
A defining highlight of his career came in 2019, when he performed at the Exit Festival’s Dance Arena alongside Solomun, Tale Of Us, Adriatique, and Satori.

Inspired by that experience, Forniva spent the following two years creating his debut studio album with long-time collaborators Sonic Union (London) and Eleven Sins (Eindhoven). Released on London-based Lowbit Records, the 10-track album received widespread acclaim from both fans and industry peers.

Since moving to Valencia in 2022, Forniva has been on an exceptional creative run, releasing music on some of the scene’s most respected labels. His single “Costa Blanca” (with Veljko Jovic) on Multinotes was featured in Beatport’s Top Streamed Tracks 2023: Indie Dance and reached #12 on Beatport’s Best of Indie Dance 2023 chart. Another collaboration with D-Nox, titled “Metamorphosis” on Einmusika, climbed to #3 among the label’s best-selling tracks. His debut EP on Artmiding (Annett Gapstream’s label) peaked at #5 on Beatport’s Indie Dance Top 100 Releases.

In 2024, Forniva began collaborating with Olivier Weiter, resulting in a string of successful releases — including an EP on 3000 Grad, the single “Victoria” (featured on Steyoyoke’s Couple Affair vinyl and Anthology Series – Transient Frequencies), and an EP on Beatfreak Recordings with Sonic Union.
His return to Einmusika in 2025 brought the collaboration “Apollo” with Olivier Weiter, featured on the celebrated Bella Mar compilation curated by Einmusik. His track “Neon Sky” on Katermukke gained massive support from Armin van Buuren and Nora En Pure, leading to a follow-up release on Purified Records titled “Delusional.”
Dutch artist Estiva later remixed his track “In The Ocean” (originally on 3000 Grad), which reached #7 on Beatport’s Progressive House Top 100.

With a growing catalog of charting releases and collaborations, Forniva continues to push boundaries in the electronic music landscape — delivering deep, melodic, and dancefloor-driven experiences that reflect his vision and passion for sound.
