DK Energetyk is a Ukrainian musical band performing in the post-punk genre. In 2023, the band released two albums, "Youth" and "Path," followed by their third album "Tomorrow" in 2024. The band was a winner of the Muzvar Awards 2024.

History

The band was formed in early 2022 by Yakiv Marnyi (vocals), Vsevolod Shutka (guitar), and Oleksandr "Fol" Folianskyi (bass guitar). Before forming "DK Energetyk," the members played in other projects: Yakiv in the rock band "Marnyi", Vsevolod in "MyInk", and Fol in "My*17". The name "DK Energetyk" originates from the Palace of Culture Energetik in Prypiat, located in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

Their first single, "Energetyk," was released in February 2023. That same year, "DK Energetyk" released two studio albums, "Youth" and "Path".

In the summer of 2024, it was revealed that the band's song "Vulytsia Skhid" ("East Street") would be featured in the video game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl". Later, it was revealed that five more of the band's tracks would also appear in the game. On September 20, 2024, the band released their third studio album "Tomorrow," with an album presentation concert held in Kyiv on November 29. Prior to that, on November 25, "DK Energetyk" premiered a music video for the song "Energetyk", dedicated to power engineers who lost their lives during the full-scale invasion. The video was filmed in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

On December 11, "DK Energetyk" made the longlist of participants for the Vidbir 2025 for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. By December 20, the band advanced to the finals of the National Selection with their song "Sil'" (Salt).
