HIDDEN ELEMENT

Hidden Element is an electronic act from Kyiv, Ukraine. By blending elements of breakbeat, techno, and ambient, producer Igor Kirilenko creates forward-thinking music with shifty rhythms, cinematic samples, and deep textures. Inspired by classic sci-fi movies, it's a perfect soundtrack both for crowded ecstatic club nights and solitary mind-wandering.

Igor began releasing tracks as Hidden Element in 2011, firstly as a duo with Nil Tarasov, and now as a solo project. Over the years, he released music on various labels, including Med School, Pinecone Moonshine, Alphacut, Silent Season, and Yuku.

The project's track "I See the Light" (feat. Kiyomi Yamashita) was noted by DJ Mag as "Track of the Month." The track "Reload, Replay" was played by Steve Lamacq on BBC 1Xtra. The debut LP "Together," released on Absys Records in 2016, received a number of positive reviews and warm feedback from El Hornet (Pendulum), Ulrich Schnauss, and other producers.

Hidden Element also created official remixes for a variety of artists, from British drum'n'bass legend London Elektricity to Ukrainian pop-singer and Eurovision winner Jamala.

In 2020–2021, Hidden Element manifested a new ambitious chapter with the EP trilogy "Comparisons" / "Kontinuum" / "Cycles." Packed with intense contemporary breakbeat and seasoned with high-class remixes from Throwing Snow, Andre Bratten, Cocktail Party Effect, these EPs earned praise from Mixmag Japan, Mixmag UK, Mixmag Brazil, Barks, Qetic, Inverted Audio, etc. A bunch of tracks from the trilogy was also aired on BBC Radio 1 in numerous guest mixes.
