The trio of Roland (UA), Odarka, and Rhytmograph delivered an electrifying homage to Ukrainian culture with the release of their latest single, Kotlyarevsky, on September 20, 2024. Released on Polyform, the track masterfully combined Melodic House and Techno, with the evocative vocals of Odarka breathing life into the timeless words of famed Ukrainian poet Ivan Kotlyarevsky. This unique collaboration marked a bold fusion of history and modern electronic music, captivating listeners with its depth and emotional power.
Inspired by Kotlyarevsky’s classicist poetry, the track featured intricate melodies and driving basslines that created a deeply immersive atmosphere. Odarka\’s haunting vocals added layers of emotional resonance, paying tribute to Ukraine’s rich literary and cultural heritage. The production seamlessly merged historical lyricism with a modern electronic pulse, turning Kotlyarevsky into a standout piece that resonated on both the dancefloor and in the hearts of listeners.
Adding further dynamism to the release, Y:K’s Afro House remix brought fresh energy and rhythmic textures, making it a powerful addition to any set. For those seeking a purely instrumental journey, the Dub Mix stripped back the vocals, letting the track’s rich production shine through in all its melodic glory.
Kotlyarevsky showcased the trio’s ability to blend genres, cultures, and eras, making it a standout release on Polyform and a fitting tribute to one of Ukraine’s most beloved poets.
