A bright representative of the younger generation of musicians, playing only high-quality and exclusive material. The creator of the promo group - Sekta Promo.

Arthur (SEKTA) - was born in the Odesa region. The beginning of his career was laid back in 2008.
The road to Techno has been a long but interesting transformation from everyday tech house to revolutionary underground techno.

My passion for musical creativity began in early childhood. From my first musical skills, I began to enter the music school of my hometown, attend music clubs and study various musical instruments and genres.

The idea to create a promo group that will be engaged in branding artists and parties came back in 2017 in Lviv, where I lived for 2 years from 2016 to 2018.
At the same time, I developed and was in search of like-minded people in techno-culture, and more specifically in the underground youth movement. In 2018, I returned to my homeland in Odessa and began to absorb everything that was on my hearing. Music, light, event organization. Conducted video filming of parties, which is still more than successful today.

At the moment, I am actively developing and developing techno and rave culture in Odessa and so far it’s not bad at all, using all my strength and capabilities acquired over 13 years of experience.

Sekta supports major festivals and club projects in Ukraine as a promoter, and also creates promotional materials for such projects as СИСТЕМА, Criminal Practice, ПОІНТ, Veselka, Bedroom, Soul Vibes, Утро, National Distortion, Outer, Obrani Records, BraveFactory!, Техника Молодёжи, VTECHA and others. The creator of the personal techno-project "RUINATION" with the participation of the main character in a mantle and a mask, which is already heard by many from Odessa to Kiev. Resident of the Техника Молодёжи project in Ukraine.

Music isn’t just something I hear, it’s something I need to feel. From late-night jazz smoke to heavy house and deep techno that rumbles below 30 Hz, sound for me is not background, it’s a space you can live in.

I build my hi-fi system with the care some people reserve for restoring a classic car. Turntables, amps, cables and speakers are chosen for character and the ability to expose every hidden layer. I’m after that playback where a double bass sounds like real wood and a kick drum makes the floor breathe.

Discovering new sounds is a second nature. Fresh releases, forgotten B-sides, obscure live recordings—they all find a place in my digital and vinyl collection. Vinyl stays at the core. The ritual of needle and groove, the soft crackle before the music starts, the warmth only analog can give—that’s home base.

This SoundCloud isn’t a shop window, it’s a sound logbook. Here I share mixes that drift between deep basslines and melodies that reveal themselves only if you let them. No genre police, just a pulse beating in 4/4. Some sets could soundtrack a crowded club; others unfold like a slow sunrise over the city.

Behind the listening is a bigger hunger: understanding how music fits together. How production, mastering and room acoustics make a track breathe. I spend hours shaping subwoofers, amps and acoustics until it feels like the band is in the room.

For me, music isn’t background noise. It’s a landscape to explore, a universe to step into again and again. SoundCloud is where that journey becomes public, a living archive of rhythms and textures that keep surprising.
