Soul of Cavo featuring Airsand & TuraniQa 2026

Soul of Cavo featuring Airsand & TuraniQa puts one of the better-known names in melodic and Afro house behind the decks at Cavo in Dubai on Saturday 19 December 2026. Soul of Cavo is the venue’s Saturday house series, and this edition hands the headline slot to a duo with a real catalogue of chart records, making it the pick of the December Saturdays for anyone who follows the melodic house scene.

Who are Airsand and TuraniQa?

Airsand and TuraniQa are a production and DJ duo. The project brings together producer Andrey Exx, who has more than two decades in the music business, and Julia Turano, a vocalist, producer and DJ. Together they run the labels Exx Muzik and Exx Underground, and in 2023 Exx Muzik hosted its own showcase at Amsterdam Dance Event.

Their records have travelled well beyond the club. “7 Days” spent six months in Beatport’s Top 100 melodic house and techno chart, “Ta Ta” with Davrin spent four months in the Beatport indie dance top 10, and “Better Off Alone” reached the iTunes top five in more than 50 countries. Under the Andrey Exx and TuraniQa name, tracks such as “Show Me Love” and “I Need To Know” pushed further into Afro house territory. Having a vocalist in the duo is part of the appeal, and it gives their sets a more melodic, song-led edge than a typical deep house night.

The Soul of Cavo sound

The organisers describe Soul of Cavo as a night dedicated to deep sounds, elevated energy and unforgettable moments, with a seamless blend of house, deep, Afro techno, electronic and soulful beats. That range suits Airsand and TuraniQa well, since their own releases move between melodic house and techno, indie dance and Afro house. Expect a set that builds steadily rather than one that relies on mainstream anthems.

Support for the night

The event description names Taina, Hellfox and Qtee Rue as support, setting the tone with high-energy sets and a refined musical selection. They warm the room after doors open at 10pm and hand over to the headliners as the night deepens.

At the venue

Cavo pitches Soul of Cavo as a premium nightlife experience where music, style and atmosphere come together. The space is styled with neon streets, luxury cars and palm trees, giving it a film-set look that feels different from a standard club. Each entry includes one house drink, the dress code is party wear and business casual, and a door policy applies. For bookings, including tables, call 055 600 5358 or 055 200 9358.

Getting there

Drive along Sheikh Zayed Road to Exit 29, then take Al Marsa Street, Al Falea Street and Al Khayay Street to Cavo. On the Metro, the Red Line to Business Bay station is the nearest stop, with a short walk or taxi ride to finish.

Who it is for

This is the Soul of Cavo date for listeners who follow the Beatport charts: fans of melodic house and techno, followers of the Exx Muzik label, and anyone who has heard the duo’s Afro house side through Show Me Love or I Need To Know. It also works for groups who want a stylish Saturday before Christmas built around a recognisable headline act rather than the commercial sound of a mainstream club.

A pre-Christmas Saturday

Falling on the last Saturday before Christmas, this is a natural night out for anyone beginning their festive break. It sits between two other Soul of Cavo dates, with Chamos on 12 December and Moska on 26 December.
