Sexto is a party series in Lisbon, born from the vision of the Ukrainian music collective known as Kultura Zvuku, which quickly became a significant part of Lisbon's nightlife. The series represents a new chapter in Kultura Zvuku's journey, continuing the legacy of a beloved club from Kharkiv, Ukraine, which stood at the emblematic address of 6 Kharkiv Embankment Street. This connection is symbolically carried forward in the name "Sexto," meaning "sixth" in Portuguese, reflecting both a nod to their origins and a commitment to their future in Lisbon.Sexto's events are distinguished by their diverse musical selection, aiming to blend local, Ukrainian, and international talents. Already 9 Sexto parties happened in Lisboa featuring artists like DMX Krew, Dr. Banana, Christian AB, Koloah, Ponura, Attechtion Plese etc. Each party usually features the presence of at least one artist from Ukraine, one local representative from Portugal, and one international guest, creating a varied musical tapestry that mirrors the team's eclectic taste. The series prides itself on introducing each artist to the audience, ensuring attendees are well-informed and engaged with the musical offerings.
The choice of venue for Sexto parties varies, adding an element of surprise and discovery to the Lisbon nightlife scene. Central to the Sexto experience is the emphasis on sound quality, with the VOID acoustic sound system providing an unparalleled auditory experience. This commitment to high-quality sound underlines the team's dedication to creating an immersive and memorable experience for the crowd.

In 2020 he founded the label Salon Imaginalis, a platform for realizing non-genre music.
With every release, he declares a strong statement. His 2021 album “Millennium Sun” is about the future, which starts today: «It’s an album about the changing times, the new era where science and technology coexist with wars and dictatorship, where world hunger exists alongside space travel.» Inspired by sci-fi classics he mixes sounds reminiscent of film soundtracks with jungle, bass, electro, and trance to create the atmosphere of a nightclub in the city of the future that has come. With a cinematic feel and an optimistic tone, he encourages us to live in hope and dream of a better future.
