Monika Ilieva & Mario Dreamers INC in Siddharta Lounge by Buddha Bar Dubai, UAE (February 2025)
Dubai, a city where culture meets innovation, has become the latest destination for Monika Ilieva (Co-Founder of Cafe De Anatolia), as she explores new opportunities for expanding the brand’s influence. Known for its luxurious nightlife, world-class venues, and ever-evolving electronic music scene, Dubai presents the perfect setting for the next step in Cafe De Anatolia’s journey.
During her stay, Monika engaged in high-profile meetings with key figures in the hospitality and music industry. One of the highlights was her connection with the manager of Siddharta Lounge by Buddha Bar, an iconic venue that seamlessly blends music, fine dining, and an unforgettable atmosphere. This meeting opened discussions about potential collaborations, bringing the Cafe De Anatolia signature sound to a venue already synonymous with sophistication and deep cultural influences.
Adding to the significance of this trip, Monika also reunited with Mario Dreamers Inc., a resident DJ and one of the very first artists of Cafe De Anatolia. A pioneer in the label’s journey, Mario has played a crucial role in shaping the organic and deep house sound that has become synonymous with the brand. Their reunion in Dubai wasn’t just a nostalgic moment but a strategic opportunity—one that could lead to an exciting new project merging the roots of Cafe De Anatolia with Dubai’s high-energy music scene.
Could this be the start of a groundbreaking collaboration, blending Middle Eastern and Anatolian sounds with the luxurious energy of the UAE? One thing is certain—Cafe De Anatolia continues to expand, bridging cultures through music, one destination at a time.
