The event kicks off with Ostap Oleksyn (he/him), an active figure on the Ukrainian electronic scene from Lviv. He is known for his podcast series OST.032, is the founder of Basement Studio, and his music has been released on labels such as Rudiment, Pure Tool, Obskura, and Krill Music.

Next on Second Floor is Christoph Faust (he/him), a German DJ and producer who recently moved to Kyiv. His latest release came out on the Berlin-based label SEVEN. Combining textures of techno, house, and dub, he creates rich, layered soundscapes that captivate listeners.

At the peak of the evening, catch the live performance of Benjamin Damage (he/him), a UK techno artist who was the first signing on the legendary 50Weapons label and also the first guest on Chroma, Bicep’s label, where he debuted the collaborative project BDB (Benjamin Damage Bicep). His live sets are entirely hardware-based, performed without a laptop—a format he takes to some of the world’s most respected clubs and festivals, combining the raw power and emotional depth of modern techno.

Closing the event is Olivia Mendez (she/her), an artist with years of experience, founder of the FLINTA collective KONVENT and the label Dust in Grooves. Traveling with her music from New York to Kyiv and beyond, Olivia digs up forgotten tracks and blends them with avant-garde sounds, keeping the magic encoded in music alive.
