Artbat

Artbat is a Ukrainian electronic duo composed of Artem Rada and Alexander Butenko (known as Batish). The duo has become one of the most influential acts on the modern electronic scene. Their sound is a fusion of progressive house, melodic techno, and techno, blending emotional depth, atmosphere, and powerful energy.

Early Years and Formation

Artem Rada and Alexander "Batish" Butenko hail from Kyiv, Ukraine. Before forming the duo, both were active on the Ukrainian electronic scene: Artem as a DJ and producer, and Batish as a multi-instrumentalist and composer. In 2015, they decided to combine their creative forces, launching the project Artbat. The name symbolizes their union — Art (Artem) and Bat (Batish).

First Releases and Breakthrough

Artbat made their debut in 2015. Their early tracks quickly entered Beatport charts thanks to their high-quality production and recognizable sound. The real breakthrough came with the release of “Mandrake” (Diynamic), supported by Solomun, Richie Hawtin, Maceo Plex, and other scene legends. This track marked the beginning of the duo’s international success.

Global Recognition and International Hits

Between 2017 and 2019, Artbat secured their position as top-tier producers. Tracks like “Tabu”, “Atlas”, “Upperground” (Diynamic Music), and their remix of “Return to Oz” for Monolink became true anthems of melodic techno. The latter ranked among the Top 10 best-selling tracks of the year on Beatport and earned the duo a Beatport Award.
