The duo of drummer Myshko Birchenko and guitarist Yevhen Puhachov is a collaboration between two Kyiv-based musicians who are also co-founders of the fusion band Hyphen Dash. The duo format emerged during the recording of the improvisational album Basement 626, which the musicians created in Kramatorsk in January 2025. Since then, they have given a series of performances throughout Ukraine in this improvisational format.
One of the defining moments of recognition for the musicians was a major Rolling Stone interview, in which the group’s leader, Myshko Birchenko, discussed the concept and idea behind the album recorded in Kramatorsk.
In their music, the artists are guided above all by freedom and a conscious rejection of boundaries, building their sound on a close emotional connection. Each of the duo’s performances is a complete improvisation that immerses the listener in a holistic atmosphere of sincerity and creative impulse.
