The history of Ukrainian based project Sphingida starts in 2005. During the first year the band consisted of 3 members - Yulia Levchenko (synthesizers and vocals), Igor Orlovskiy (programming and effects) and Miroslav Kryj (solo and bass guitar). Later Miroslav left the project and from that time the bands structure didn’t change.
The guys were working hard on their style, production, were experimenting with different musical instruments and technologies and as the result received positive response from their audience and producers. After a year of creative raid, Sphingida found their original sound and started to take part in various psy-trance and ambient parties as a live-act and with dj-sets.
In November 2006, Igor and Yulia discover first Ukrainian label of psy-ambient, downtempo and chill-out music - Sentimoni Records. And from that time guys begin to develop their label.
In December 2007, released their first album - Sphingida "Origin". Disk becomes one of the most purchased of Sentimoni Records releases. The duo begins to actively give live shows and dj-sets at various parties and concerts in Ukraine and Russia. In each track you’ll find mind blowing mixture of gentle melodies, rigid synthetic sounds and dynamic rhythms. Wise merging of styles and creative approach to the music make the sound of Sphingida absolutely unique.
But in summer 2008, members decided to close the duo and start their individual projects. So Sphingida divided into 2 independent of each other's solo project - Irukaji (Igor Orlovskiy) and NeuRula (Yulia Levchenko).
Hey! Been a long time! Just came by to listen a little bit more, as I tend to become a bit disconnected every once in a while. Anyway, your music still sounds great. Wish you had some more "extended" versions here ;)
"Self expression in dance United by sound and rhythm crossing all boundaries of believes and languages moments of trance in dance listen move and loose the self joy and happiness harmony and peace sound and rhythm manifesting the spirit of love"

Hello Yulia and Igor! How's things? Hope you're having a good time! I played your track "After this" from the album as an opener to my latest chill-out dj set. It sounds really good, up there with the best! Thank you! Pretty soon, I'll send you a new demo.
