Ukrainian groove architect KiRiK teams up with LA-based DJ, producer, and label boss The Archer for a radiant and irresistibly smooth collaboration: ‘Breathe In, Let Go.’
A shimmering blend of French-disco finesse and deep, rolling house, the track is built on crisp funk-driven basslines, bright synth flourishes, and a hypnotic, feel-good pulse. It’s the kind of groove that locks you in from the first bar — sleek, uplifting, and effortlessly timeless.
The pairing is a natural match. KiRiK brings his signature underground swing — the forward-pushing, deep-tech energy that has defined a decade of releases on vinyl, digital platforms, and his own revered label Memory Remains. The Archer complements that vibe with his polished melodic touch, refined through years of shaping dancefloors and curating his imprint There Is A Light, home to artists like Matt Sassari and Drunken Kong.
Together, they find the sweet spot between groove and emotion.
“Breathe In, Let Go” is a warm exhale — a track built for dancing with ease, losing yourself, and letting the rhythm take over.
A staple of the Ukrainian underground, KiRiK has spent the last decade shaping a sound that flows between deep house, tech, and rolling minimal grooves. After early vinyl releases and the launch of his label Memory Remains in 2015, he quickly earned international recognition — with the label consistently landing Mixmag Adria’s Vinyl of the Week.
Recent years saw him expand into digital releases and collaborative work, most notably with Alia Palant, leading to multiple festival performances across Ukraine and Europe. In 2022, his collab with Franky Rizardo, “Diamond,” broke into Beatport’s Deep House Top 100 and stayed there for over two months. Since then, KiRiK has continued to rise, releasing on Ball Park, LTF Records, and preparing a major album and numerous collaborations for 2025.
Based in Los Angeles, The Archer is a multidisciplinary artist with deep musical roots spanning disco, house, new wave, and techno. His breakout track “Lonely Dream” showcased a distinct signature sound — emotive, dance-driven, and instantly recognizable. With a background as a trail-blazing lawyer and passionate art enthusiast, he brings a unique perspective to his productions and curation.
His label There Is A Light has quickly become a respected platform, with releases from established and emerging artists alike, anchored by The Archer’s commitment to musical diversity and high-impact club music.
