Four tracks recorded with field acoustics from Kyiv Oblast. Released on Watergate Records with exclusive remixes by Tale Of Us and Anyma.
ARTBAT's four-track EP 'Resilience' drops 18 June 2026 on Germany's Watergate Records. Tracklist: 'Resilience' (opener), 'Atlas of Hope,' 'Northern Lights,' and 'Hymn for Bucha' — the closing track built around field recordings from the outskirts of liberated Bucha, which Artyom Bondarenko personally made in March 2022. The EP includes two exclusive remixes from iconic melodic-techno colleagues — Tale Of Us and Anyma. This is ARTBAT's first collaboration with Tale Of Us — negotiations for the collab had been ongoing since 2023. The promo campaign features a filter with a map of Ukraine, where 'sound light points' appear over previously-occupied territories — each plays a unique modal progression. All profits from the EP for the first month after release will be donated to the 'Come Back Alive' charity organization via the Watergate-supported Bandcamp Direct mechanism. The presentation lounge-show at Kyiv's Atlas takes place 24 June — a 'listening party' format with live discussions by ARTBAT, MC Andriy Adam (Last.fm Ukraine), and EP producer Heinz Schimmelmann.
