Music Lover - Releasing New Frequency to the World

Born in the Chernobyl era 🙂 From an early age, electronic music has been my passion and my source of inspiration. I was lucky to grow up during the golden years of the electronic scene, shaping my unique style and taste under the influence of legends such as Marco Carola, Marco Bailey, Sven Väth, Mario Ranieri, Filterheadz, The Advent, Thomas Schumacher, Leo Laker, Tomash Gee, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, DJ Amok, Chris Liebing, Frank Kvitta, Sven Wittekind, and many other irreplaceable artists.

As a DJ, I strive to capture the true spirit of this music — blending its raw, unrelenting energy with my personal sensitivity and love for deep, driving rhythms of Techno, Hard Techno, and Schranz. My sets are more than carefully selected tracks — they are an emotional journey, where every beat is a tribute to the culture that shaped me as both an artist and a human being.

Music is more than a passion — it’s a language through which I express myself, share emotions, and create genuine connections with others. Standing behind the decks is both an honour and a pleasure, and every moment with music reminds me why I gave my heart to it. The culture and openness of the beautiful people in our community restore my faith in humanity and give me the drive to get up every day.

I am active in several collectives, including Selektronika, Techno SpoT, REJVO-BUS, HVS (new initiative), and DESU (new initiative). I’m also connected with LKR Music and Methanabol labels, and a friend of Arnaca Records.

Deeply in love with Hard Techno and Schranz, but lately experimenting with plenty of new genres. ❤️
