ESSENTIAL
DUO

Essential Duo is a synthwave project created by two artists united by their love for the music and culture of the 80s. Oksana Melnyk - singer and radio host whose warm, emotional vocals bring the atmosphere of the decade to life. Yurii Zharkov - producer, composer, and lifelong admirer of retro sound, inspired by neon aesthetics, classic cinema, and the energy of 80s pop. Together, they craft music where nostalgia meets modern electronic production — atmospheric synths, melodic basslines, cinematic moods, and heartfelt storytelling. Essential Duo is the soundtrack to night drives, city lights, and the emotions that stay with us forever. From Ukraine, Poland and Portugal with love!
