Electronic music that reconnects with Ukrainian musical memory.

Cepasa — “Niby Chaiky” on vinyl is a special collector’s edition of an album inspired by Ukrainian music of the 20th century. TILKITAK Records presents the limited vinyl edition for fans of contemporary Ukrainian electronic music, Ukrainian musical heritage, and collectors of physical releases.

Cepasa — Ukrainian electronic music with a distinctive sound

Cepasa, also known as Pavlo Lenchenko, is a contemporary Ukrainian electronic artist, composer, and producer from Kyiv. His music combines electronic rhythms, atmospheric soundscapes, and elements of Ukrainian musical culture.

Cepasa’s musical career began in 2012 with his first compositions in the slow house style. Since then, he has continued to develop his distinctive sound, combining electronic music with Ukrainian cultural influences.

Cepasa approaches each album as a complete story, creating not simply a collection of individual tracks but a cohesive atmosphere and musical narrative.

“Niby Chaiky” — a contemporary interpretation of Ukrainian music

“Niby Chaiky” is Cepasa’s fifth studio album, created in the spring and summer of 2022. At its core is a reinterpretation of Ukrainian music of the 20th century and the work of composers such as Yudif Rozhavska, Ihor Shamo, and Platon Maiboroda.

The album’s title refers to the Ukrainian song “Letiat Niby Chaiky,” written by composer Yudif Rozhavska to lyrics by Lada Reva in 1962.

Cepasa combines electronic music with Ukrainian folklore and lyrics from Ukrainian songs of the 20th century, creating a musical bridge between the past and the present.

The album contains 9 tracks, including “Ridna Mati,” “Borshch,” “Chervona Kalyna,” “Kyiv,” “Niby Chaiky,” “Etnodim,” “Sunday,” “Blossom,” and “Before.”

The album also features collaborations such as “Chervona Kalyna,” with Odesa Opera soloist Andrii Kharlamov and Volodymyr Chmil from the band “Khvylia,” as well as “Etnodim,” featuring Nina and Tonya Matviienko.

The album is dedicated to the Ukrainian people’s struggle for freedom and the preservation of cultural memory. By combining contemporary electronic music with Ukrainian musical heritage, Cepasa creates a connection between different generations of Ukrainians.
