When Andy "Champa" Moore is DJing, love is in the music. When love is in the music, you can feel it.
Unique
in his ability to create a cathartic, big-room experience, or transform
the most comfortable, leisurely lounge into a rocking party, Champa
knows how to bring it, taking listeners on a journey filled with
suspense, seduction and surprises. For more than two decades Champa has
rewarded people with smiles, screams, sweat and release, at parties
large and small.
From humble beginnings as a participant on
truly incredible dance floors, Champa Moore realized how much he wanted
to give from the DJ booth. After fine-tuning his DJ craft, Champa found

include New Orleans’ Ampersand, New York City's Vaullt@Element, Moomia, Lounge 87, Deck, and some of
Houston’s strongest EDM institutions, such as Hyperia, Rent, Clark’s,
Barcode, The Social and more. Champa performed regularly at Spundae
and represented Houston at WMC’s Ultra Music Festival. He has kept
people dancing until dawn in Spain, the Netherlands and around the
United States.
Over the years, Champa has opened and closed
for internationally renowned DJs such as Josh Wink, Turntables on
the Hudson, Lee Burridge, James Zabiela, Deep Dish, Donald Glaude,
Roger Sanchez, Jay-J, Paul van Dyk, Andy Caldwell, Oakenfold, Tiesto,
