Sveta

DJ maven/ Producer/ Music Director/ Hysterical Woman. UKRAINIAN-AUSTRALIAN 🇺🇦 Hey music lovers & loyal listeners, like many others in the self-employed artist/music artist community, my have lost a great deal of work during the Covid pandemic. I have shared my work here for many years so please continue to enjoy dozens of my free to stream podcasts & remixes. If anyone out there can afford to send a tip after listening, I would be most grateful.

About me: Born in the Soviet Union, on the run, Sound Of Music style through Europe & eventually landing in her new home Australia, this Sydney DJ and producer is considered spinning royalty in her adopted country. Pioneering many club nights, she has worked every veritable corner of the scene — both above ground and below — to master a sound that is quintessentially Sveta.
