Describe your style in three words?
What is style?

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
AUX 88 show in Detroit. “Aux Mind”

If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
Definitely would love to be on the lineup with Detroit Underground Resistance’s founding members Jeff Mills, Robert Hood or Mike Banks.

I’ve never really been influenced by any subculture in particular, although Ukrainian rave culture and the local music scene had a big impact and formed my interest in music when I lived in Kiev in the 2000s.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Ian Curtis from Joy Division. My forever crush.

What is your favourite live music venue in New York?
Basement.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
My unsung heroes are New York DIY rave throwers and independent outlets that support the underground scene in the city. Shout out to the Lot Radio — an independent online radio station live streaming 24/7 from a reclaimed shipping container on an empty lot in NYC.
