THE STORY / NO LIMITS PHONK

First, a listener.
Now, my own sound.

BY RUSLAN UKRAINSKYI

Phonk found me in 2020. I listened to thousands of tracks and kept the few that stayed with me. Then I wanted to hear something of my own. That is how NO LIMITS PHONK began.

2020

The first connection

I first heard phonk in 2020. If I remember correctly, LXST CXNTURY was one of my first introductions to it. Around that time, I bought my first expensive car, a BMW X5. Those memories sit together for me: the car, the music and a sound I wanted to keep listening to.

THE SEARCH

From thousands to a few

I worked in marketing and always felt close to creative work. Good advertising takes an idea, a feeling for the audience and a lot of decisions that have to fit together. Music became another place to explore that instinct. I listened to thousands of tracks and kept the few that really inspired me.

For a long time I wanted to make my own phonk — first for myself and my friends. The point was to make something I would choose to listen to, even without my name on it.

FIRST SIGNAL

A beginning you can hear

Now there are a few recordings that mean something to me. That is what made me want to take this further and build NO LIMITS PHONK: a project centred on the music, with room to experiment, finish the details and find its listeners.

I am Ukrainian and based in Spain. I want this sound to travel much further than any one country or language. I hope people will hear something of their own in it.

WHAT’S NEXT

Still building. Still listening.

FULL CONTROL and MY MOVE are out, alongside the first singles. I am working on more music with room for the instruments, and on radio phrases that offer a moment of encouragement. Reaching listeners around the world remains the ambition; each new release will join the same catalogue.
