Karacha is a drum & bass duo founded in 2024 in Herceg Novi, Montenegro, by Russian musicians Ilya Romanenkov and Mikhail Proskurin. Although the project is new on paper, their creative partnership dates back to 2006, when they began working together in the indie scene. Over the years, they’ve evolved into a powerful DNB act that bridges atmospheric melodies with the raw energy of mainstream drum & bass.

Their sound is built on strong songwriting foundations, often starting with emotional, cinematic intros that build into explosive drops a structure that reflects their roots in live music and emotional storytelling. Karacha pride themselves on originality: “90% of our sound is 100% original. Minimum samples – maximum of what you’ve never heard before.”

Their tracks like “Bad Day,” “Escape,” “Back to the Criminal,” and “No More” have resonated with listeners around the world. At the same time, their unofficial DNB remixes of iconic tracks by t.A.T.u., Limp Bizkit, and ATB have garnered tens of thousands of plays organically, without paid promotion or label push.

Karacha’s releases have been supported by respected labels such as Accelerant Records, Liquid Brilliants, Milleville Music, Cataclysm Recordings, and Elephant Trunk. Their music has aired on major genre radio stations including Pirate Station, DNB Radio, and Codesouth Radio UK, gaining attention from figures across the DNB community including Teddy Killerz, DJ Gvozd, and PINKII.

In live performances, Karacha deliver high-energy DJ sets that often incorporate live guitar with effects, creating a hybrid show experience that blends electronic precision with raw performance. They regularly perform in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Montenegro, and across Europe, and are currently preparing for a series of international club and festival shows.
