With cumbia at heart and drum and bass in her feet, Abuelita earned her musical education in the jungle and techstep underground scenes of Łódź, while at the same time discovering the iconic Roots of Chica and spreading a word about cumbia among her friends. Her selection fuses genres through a common thread: bass & break. The more breaks, the better. A soft spot for old-school sounds, curiosity for new productions.

Oleslav's music consists of electronic collages glued together from fragments of his points of interests - heavy music of the first decade of the 2000s, the british electronic scene, Japanese computer games and science-fiction.

Fueled by a dislike of classical music and a hunger for the energy of the stage, he has come a long way that started somewhere in rehearsal rooms near the Livoberezhna metro station in Kyiv, and led through all the marginal genres of music played by kids in the 2000s - nintendocore and metalcore, emo, post hc, mathcore, indie rock, post punk, synth pop, ending with screamo. The last one stayed with him longer - for several years he played bass and shouted in the Warsaw band We Watch Clouds. He also played in Hanako(another band from Warsaw), when they were creating their first songs. 

Since 2019, he has been focusing on electronic music. Using ambient sounds and synthesizers, he sculpts complex narrative structures describing fantastic worlds.

What do we stand for? Do we have to stand for anything? We flow through the cuts and incisions on the body, with its desires, tears and anger. In that we stand against what binds us, what disrupts the flows, the illusions of „better” and „worse”, that you are this or that. Borders? Blockages? It will all melt anyway.

DREVA is an experimental sound project rooted in transformation and resilience. Named after the Belarusian word for "tree," DREVA embodies the raw, organic energy of growth amid harsh conditions. It’s a sonic exploration of ambient, noise, field recordings, and minimalist structures, consciously embracing lo-fi aesthetics to amplify the intimacy and unpolished honesty of its sound. Atonal elements and haunting drones weave through the compositions, with subtle nods to black metal aesthetics, creating a visceral connection to nature, memory, and the struggle for self-identity.

Emerging from the shadows of a repressive regime, DREVA reflects the journey of an emigrant artist reclaiming their narrative. Each track is a branch, each sound a root—grounded in personal history yet reaching toward new horizons. The project thrives on imperfection, using lo-fi as both a technical choice and an emotional tool to strip away artifice and confront the listener with stark, unfiltered reality.

DREVA’s music resonates with those seeking the unfamiliar, the introspective, and the raw. Ideal for festivals, art installations, and platforms that celebrate uncompromising, boundary-pushing sound, DREVA offers a deeply personal yet universal experience.
