ghetto89

Ghetto89 is the new project of Artem Volyk — DJ, producer, sound designer, and event organizer from Kyiv. With over 20 years in music, he has developed a unique approach that blends club energy with refined, detail-oriented sound design. Artem is also known for his projects Selecta, DF90, and Modent, and in 2020 he founded the collective and label OBSKURA. The sound of Ghetto89 merges elements of techno, house, and experimental music, with a focus on rhythmic depth and hypnotic atmospheres. Since 2015, Artem has been collaborating with the fashion and contemporary art industries, creating music and sound design for international fashion weeks, designer brands, and art events. As a promoter and curator, he has organized independent parties and collaborated with major festivals and venues — including Atlas Weekend, Green Theatre, Closer, Otel, RiverPort — while performing across Europe and Asia. In the studio and behind the decks, Artem’s approach is defined by attention to detail, emotional depth, and a distinctive sonic identity. His portfolio spans sonic branding, sound design, and composition for Ukrainian and international brands across fashion, tech, and lifestyle industries. Artem remains dedicated to exploring new sonic dimensions, constantly pushing his creative boundaries both in the studio and on stage.
