Poly Chain (DJ)

She/her
Sat June 1 | Garage Noord

Poly Chain is a distinctive voice in today's landscape of electro-infused electronic music and Kyiv’s club scene. She developed her fierce, yet spacious and hypnotic, style in the music scene in the Ukrainian capital, where different styles and worlds meet. Behind the decks Poly Chain skillfully crafts sets which  weave together diverse influences from electro and techno to IDM and experimental ambient sounds, shaping warm, intricate synth melodies that oscillate between luscious pads and rolling analog drums.

About the artist

Poly Chain is an alias of Sasha Zakrevska – a composer, curator, DJ and graphic designer from Kyiv, Ukraine, currently based in Berlin due to the full-scale invasion. From a very young age she played piano, after which she connected these melodic skills to the electronic music world. Since discovering synths while in a post-high school shoegaze band, Poly Chain has graced renowned venues and festivals worldwide, from Tresor, Fuchs2, KHIDI, Le Sucre, Dekmantel, Nuits Sonores Brussels and Unsound. She released on labels like Mechatronica, Die Orakel and Standard Deviation… just to name a few. Zakrevska’s mini-album Fairy Disco, out on mystictrax, is not only a superb release but also a call to continue supporting Ukraine.

Her latest release is SMART-155 on the Berlin imprint, Mechatronica; a blistering set of cold and introspective electro investigations.
