Nastia announces "NECHTO for Ukraine" fundraiser in NYC

Nastia is putting on the first international NECHTO event in New York to raise funds for Ukraine.

NECHTO is Nastia's label and platform which aims to shine a light on the best electronic music talent coming from Ukraine.

This is the first event NECHTO has held outside of Kyiv — its 2020 and 2021 parties drew thousands of attendants from 21 countries.

In 2022 NECHTO was scheduled once again in Kyiv, but due to the war breaking out it did not take place.

For the New York event, which is scheduled to take place on July 1 at NYC's Knockdown Centre, electronic music fans can expect to see Bejenec (live), Lady Starlight (live), Nastia, Noizar, Nastya Muravyova, Stef Mendesidis (live), and Voin Oruwu (live).

Writing on Instagram, NECHTO says: "While the brave Ukrainian nation is showing tremendous will and courage in their fight against occupants, the duty of the whole world and each of us is to show unity, support, and solidarity."

All the money from ticket sales after deducting expenses will go to a Ukrainian foundation where funds will be used to help those who need it.

Former Mixmag cover star Nastia has been fighting to raise awareness about what is going on in her home country of Ukraine since the start of the war in February.
