Igor Shtenge's journey into the heart of music began 11 years ago when he moved from Nikolaev to Kyiv. It was there that he delved into sound engineering, swiftly making a name for himself by skillfully equipping numerous upscale bars and restaurants with superior sound systems. His fascination with electronic music soon emerged, particularly gravitating towards a rhythmic blend of house and techno. This newfound passion led him to DJ at private events and undertake sound projects for L8 Park, marking the start of his active DJ career.

Now, Igor Shtenge stands as a devoted collector and connoisseur of house music, with a collection and musical knowledge that surpass his years in the field. He dedicates most of his free time to discovering hidden musical gems, aiming to revive the rich, warm vibes of the 90s. This era, renowned for its eclectic blend from Acid & Electro to Garage, Disco, and House music, is a constant source of inspiration for him.

Shtenge's genuine commitment and love for music have propelled him to the forefront of the Ukrainian House scene. Currently, he's not only a staple in the capital's house party circuit but also a regular at major festivals like Ostrov Festival and Kurazh. Additionally, Igor is:

A co-organizer of luxury summer parties aboard the Silver Wave yacht, known as L8 Boat (by L8Park).
A sought-after figure at fashion events in Kyiv, including boutique openings and famous designers' birthdays.
A creator of musical compilations for runway shows from local designers.
This list only scratches the surface of his accomplishments, which have garnered the respect of Ukraine's discerning dance music aficionados.

Igor Shtenge's DJ sets are a testament to his passion. A glance at any of his performances in the city's venues reveals his exceptional ability to connect with the audience and deliver exactly what the moment calls for. This intuitive connection with the dance floor is a hallmark of his style, setting him apart in each performance.

Brooklyn based with some international flair, digging and delivering for over a decade.
