Lychee

The main reason to become a DJ is to make others feel what I am feeling when I mix music - a complex emotional journey. And to be a DJ in a city where it's just started to shape its sound, culture, and scene, is more exciting to me. That's where you can make the most impact.

HesIless

My father had a collection of cassettes and records to which I had a delicate attitude, but through the years, it remained in the shadows. I was twenty years old when I entered a club in Russia and found my lost feelings. Later, in the clashes of social and student life, that feeling constantly came over me, which made me realize I wanted to be the creator of my own reality, and that's when I found harmony in electronic music and gradually became one of its representatives. I would like the youth of our country not to despair and to pursue their goals, no matter how difficult it is for them to express and establish themselves in different fields of art nowadays. I really hope that other directions of art also develop in parallel with electronic music, so that our youth will not give up on their dreams.

Vintabilia

Vintabilia is an upcycling vintage clothing brand based in Yerevan, Armenia. They believe that nothing is lost, everything should be transformed, and they wish to focus on the buyers’ approach to how they buy clothes. “When the stores were hit by the pandemic, and Armenia was at war, I started to think, ‘How can I reinvent the inventory that I already have?’ And came the idea to create my own upcycling brand and founded Vintabilia in 2020.”- tells the founder of Vintabilia, Helena. Vintabilia finds the Soviet heritage to be a source of creative inspiration. They are led by a desire “to see beauty in everything and always give a second life to any object whether that’s upcycling classic toys or clothes, fabrics produced in the Soviet time.
