ARTBAT is a Ukrainian electronic music duo formed by Artur Kryvenko and Batish Veles, who joined forces in 2015 in Kyiv. Emerging from individual careers within Ukraine’s vibrant club scene, the pair quickly carved out a unique niche with their atmospheric sound that combines emotive melodies, driving techno rhythms, and a distinct sense of cinematic storytelling. From their debut release “Mandrake” in 2016, ARTBAT earned swift international recognition, propelled by support from influential DJs and inclusion in key Spotify playlists.

Their breakthrough came with tracks like “Planeta” and the globally chart-topping “Return to Oz (ARTBAT Remix)” for Monolink, which became a festival anthem and showcased their signature blend of deep, melodic, and progressive techno elements. The duo’s fusion of analog sounds, pulsating basslines, and ethereal climaxes solidified their place as headliners at major festivals and iconic venues such as Tomorrowland, Ushuaïa Ibiza, Fusion Festival, and Printworks London. Noted for their energetic and emotionally charged DJ sets, ARTBAT have delivered acclaimed performances for global brands like Cercle and Afterlife.

Consistent chart-toppers, their releases have appeared on prominent labels including Diynamic, Afterlife, Kompakt, and their own imprint, UPPERGROUND, which launched in 2021 to foster forward-thinking electronic artists. ARTBAT’s collaborations with artists such as CamelPhat, Dino Lenny, and WhoMadeWho have expanded their sonic palette, while their remixes for established acts like Röyksopp and Deadmau5 have furthered their reputation for innovation. Widely regarded as pioneers of the modern melodic techno movement, ARTBAT continue to shape the evolution of contemporary club culture.
