Artbat (commonly styled as ARTBAT) is a Ukrainian DJ and music production duo from Kyiv, consisting of Artur Kryvenko and Vitaliy "Batish" Limarenko.[1] [2] They produce music in various techno and house variations.

Career

Artbat's career began in 2014 when Kryvenko and Lamarenko, both experienced DJs, met in a Ukrainian club. After they quickly recognized musical similarities, they started producing music together. Just three months later, they had their breakthrough with the track "Mandrake". They received great support from the British DJ Richie Hawtin, who played the track in each of his sets for a year.[3]

In 2017, Artbat's track uplift was published as part of a compilation on Solomun's label Diynamic, followed by further EPs and tracks on the label. Their track "Taboo", released in 2018, reached the top position of the deep house charts on the music platform Beatport and was able to stay there for eleven weeks.[4] In 2019 they won a DJ Award in the Breakthrough category.[5] [6] In the same year they became the best-selling artist on Beatport.

Artbat was recognized as the Breakthrough Artist of the Year by The DJ Awards in 2019. That same year they were named Mixmag's Stars of the Year[7] and Beatport's Best Sellers.

In 2021, Artbat launched their record label, Upperground.[8] The label has hosted several large-scale events featuring its core artists alongside notable performers.

On November 11, 2023, Artbat recorded their first ever Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1.[9]

In May 2024, Artbat’s official remix of "Hey Boy Hey Girl" by The Chemical Brothers was released by Virgin/Positiva.[10] That month, they held a historic concert at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in May 2024, with 8,000 people attending.[11]

Artbat have performed at major festivals such as Coachella,[12] Creamfields, Ultra Miami and Japan, EDC, Awakenings, Tomorrowland,[13] Mysteryland, EXIT Festival, DGTL and Time Warp.
