Kurenivka started with a bar and a DJ. There has been a dance floor in camp every year since, and then a stage on wheels. From disco house to hard techno, these are the people who played it.
Yaroslav Diakiv
The first friend to say “let's do it”, and the face of Kurenivka's music ever since: bringing the sound, wiring it, tuning it and putting the DJ on. A DJ, musician and producer whose sets mix house, techno and ethnic elements, from Tivi Bar in Tbilisi to Atlas Weekend and the playa.
Born in Kazakhstan, raised in Kyiv. Two albums, many EPs and remixes, and stages in the US, Germany, Cuba, Latvia, Switzerland and Italy. A Kurenivka resident since 2018. In dust we trust.
Dark disco with shamanic rhythms and Ukrainian roots. A regular at the official Precompression and Decompression events, with sets at Wave Spotguide and Atlas Weekend.
Musician, traveller and promoter. Founder of UBK beach club on a river island in Kyiv and of Hedonism Festival, which brought hundreds of international artists to Ukraine. Responsible for some of the camp's most particular vibes.
Forced to leave Donetsk in 2014, he kept making music. Melodic techno, progressive and breaks since the early 2000s, and the sound engineer behind every Precompression and Decompression in Kyiv.
Ivan Alexeev
A fixture of Odesa's music scene for twenty years: Agharti club on the beach and the Fiesta festival he founded. Balearic, downtempo, house and new disco, played from a serious vinyl collection.
The camp's founder behind the decks, two or three times a year. A vinyl collector who believes the music matters more than the technique.
Played the Kurenivka Stage at the official Decompression in Kyiv in 2018.
From the playa to the Precompression and Decompression parties Kurenivka produced in Kyiv.
