Max Barskih made his debut when he was only 18 years old, performing on the Ukrainian talent show “Fabrika Zirok 2” (Star Factory 2).

Onuka is one of the most respected acts on the new Ukrainian electronic scene. Created by avant-garde electronic artists Evgeni Filatov (aka The Maneken) and Nata Zhyhchenko, Onuka organically combines traditional ethnic motifs and modern electronic sound.
“Animal” and “Golos” are taken off Onuka’s sophomore album, Mozaika, which was released on March 28th via the band’s own label Vidlik Records.
Techno pop project Estradarada started in Ukraine back in 2015 when Alexander Khimchuk (former member of Махно Project) decided to work with Vyacheslav Kondrashin on some new music. Fast forward to 2017 and the duo is now one of the most popular acts in the country with one of the biggest YouTube hits so far this year. The video for their single ‘ВитеНадоВыйти’ has been viewed over 30M times in 6 months and streamed almost 1M times on SoundCloud.
Estradarada describe their musical style as a mix of tecnho, nudisco, deephouse, soul, synthpop and electronica which can be played both on crowded dance floors or in chilled-out house parties. On ‘Вите Надо Выйти’ the fat bass and big beats provide a dance-worthy background on which are laid ironically dreamy and absurd lyrics.
The song is taken off the album Дискотека Века which you can stream and/or download on

The duo have garnered quite a reputation for their quirky videos (“Имя 505”, “Песня 404”, “Навернопотомучто”) and “Back2Leto” is no exception. The video was directed by Illarion Efremov and you can watch it above or stream the song below.
