Kyiv-based Mykhailo Iliushchenko, known to the entire Ukrainian underground under the aliases Luschn and IV Mickey, has been an integral part of the capital's electronic scene for more than a decade. This producer and selector started his career playing funk from seven-inch records in the cult Xlib many years ago. After that, he went on to play all the main venues all over Kyiv and the whole country - from the legendary Fazenda, the old Keller, Odesa's Agharti and Kharkiv's Zhyvot and Kultura Zvuka to a residency at the now-defunct River PORT and performances at Collider, Mezzanine, Otel' and Closer.

Nowadays, Luschn is a true universal soldier of the music world, confidently working on the fringe of many styles. He skilfully spins melodic laces of house and tech-house from different eras and countries, minimal, dub-techno, Detroit electro-funk and electro, nu-disco and a bunch of other styles for which music critics and journalists have not yet come up with definitions and frameworks. The most important thing is that Misha does all this for a noble purpose - to blow listeners' minds in a good way. And make their hearts and souls dance as if everything exists only here and now. After all, this is probably one of the main sacred tasks of music and creativity in general.

Undoubtedly, Luschn's multidisciplinarity also plays a serious role here. He is not just an ultra-technical DJ and digger. But also a talented producer with many years of experience. Resident of Mystictrax and Noneside labels, author of numerous diverse releases, and host and curator of a show on Gasoline Radio. This set of skills, plus his natural humour and charisma, turn Misha into a trickster, moving the dance floor in a completely unexpected direction (except for leaving the club) with just a few beats.

His sound is full of playful motifs intertwined with complex compositional canvases. It's also about depth, drama, multilayered senses, sounds, and harmonies. Everyone will find something there. And even if they lose it, the artist will always immediately put another record on the deck.
