For the first time, the electronic duo Artbat and DJ Miss Monique entered the ranking, placing 73rd and 75th respectively. Artbat, founded in 2014 by Artur Kryvenko and Vitalii (Batiush) Lymarenko, is described as a “mix of energy, vibes, and emotions.”

Miss Monique (Olesia Arkusha) gained international attention with her track Nomacita, which topped the Melodic Techno chart on Beatport.

“Thank you, my listeners - you are my biggest inspiration and the reason I keep moving forward. And a special thank you to my team - those who have been with me from day one and everyone who’s by my side today. Your patience, faith and love are my foundation,” Miss Monique wrote on Instagram.
