Biografía
I’ve been spinning vinyl records for 8 years. My passion for music began with dancing, break battles and hip-hop festivals. At one point I realized that I was more attracted to records than a dance floor. So in 2014 I bought my first record and my vinyl journey has began.
I started small with what I had - for my first set I borrowed my father's records that he kept in the closet. That night, in a small basement bar somewhere in Kyiv, our first party-project called "2Gettaz" was held, which later on developed into a full-scale festival of associations of street cultures called "Unity".
My taste in music is constantly changing. Despite the fact that hip-hop has taken quite a big part of my heart, I also love jazz, still collecting it, and visiting concerts when I can. I don’t limit my taste, in my collection you can find records of different styles, years and mood.
To be honest, you can find literally any kind of music, from ambient to techno, from the USSR funk to German dark jazz. I'm a digger, and I always hunt for dope baseline, mad melody and warm sound.
In recent years, electronic music has reached an incredible velocity in Kyiv city. One beautiful day I was engrossed in it as well.
I am grateful to all Ukrainian artists, who set a high level from the very beginning, which I aspired to with fanaticism.
I was lucky to learn from best of the best and play at the coolest places in Kyiv such as HVLV, Vognyk, Closer, RiverPort, Collider etc. My friends and I created a “ZION” project, where we mixed different types of art. At our events one could find make-up artists in action, skate shows, a light theater, circus performances, exhibitions of various painters and photographers (by accident we did the first NFT exhibition in Ukraine lol) and many more weird wild stuff.
Now I'm based in Berlin, Germany. I had to leave my country because of the war, but I'm proudly representing the Ukrainian underground on the European music scene.
Besides Ukraine and Germany, my records were heard in Belgium, France, Lithuania, Norway, China, Cambodia, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia.
I`m always glad to share my music, because with the sound I share the energy, which is exactly what this world need so much. Looking forward to meeting you on the dance floor!
