Keller

Keller began in Kyiv’s Podil district in 2012 at 71 Kyrylivska Street. From 2014 to 2017, the club operated near Zhitny Market before returning to Kyrylivska Street, where it reopened in 2020 inside a former foundry in the district’s industrial area. Its four co-owners are Anna Shurpach, Denys Koval, Oleh Achilov and Nataliia Sakun.

The venue has an open courtyard and room for about 555 people. Its main room is fitted with an Adamson sound system, and the dance-floor geometry was designed to distribute sound evenly. Dasha Kolosova was among its early residents; Jungle Kitchen UA and Bios have promoted events there. Artists who have played at Keller include Dub.in.Sky, D-White, AEROBIICA and Berg. When it reopened in 2020, its founders brought about 15 years of party-organizing experience. They aimed to give younger and emerging DJs a place to play. In 2021, Keller opened its post-industrial space on Kyrylivska Street with DRIFT, an after-hours event concept.
