With over a decade behind the decks, I’ve journeyed from Rivne, Ukraine, to Krakow, Poland, blending cultural influences to shape a unique techno sound. My early years were rooted in house music, producing and releasing on labels like First Edition and Taste the Vibe. However, a pivotal set in Lviv’s vibrant scene shifted my focus to techno, where I found a new creative home. Inspired by the energy of Krakow’s iconic club Prozak, I’ve crafted sets that pulse with both Western and Ukrainian influences, creating a distinct sonic identity. Since 2014, I’ve also been an active promoter, eventually founding Rave Sapiens, a local techno community that’s now known for delivering Rivne’s best techno events. My journey has taken me across cities like Rivne, Krakow, Lviv, and Kiev, bringing my sound to diverse crowds. Currently, I host the weekly Rave Sapiens Podcast on YouTube, keeping the techno community energized with fresh sets. After a production hiatus since 2017, I’m back in the studio, blending my evolved music vision with the influences that have shaped me. My goal: to merge Western sounds with a distinctly Ukrainian flavor, offering listeners a new and authentic techno experience.
