ODYSSAY Releases ‘Consent’ on ODA Recordings
Ukrainian live electronic artist and producer ODYSSAY returns to ODA Recordings with Consent, a high-energy melodic techno release that combines relentless club momentum with cinematic emotion. Driven by commanding instrumentals and epic choir vocals, this outstanding addition to his catalogue encapsulates the raw and emotive essence of his live performances.
Built around meticulous tension and release, Consent unfolds through rich layers of melodic textures before reaching an uplifting, spiritually charged climax. While the production was initially conceived without choral elements, its defining character emerged during rehearsals for the monumental ODA Symphony performance at Kyiv’s Palace of Sports.
The integration of a live choir proved so powerful and organic that it became an essential part of the final studio version, transforming the track into an emotionally resonant and sonically expansive statement. The result is a release designed for peak-time dancefloor moments, and has rapidly become an essential component of ODYSSAY’s sonic identity. Completed by a captivating video recording from the ODA Symphony, Consent is highlighted in its audio-visual capacity, allowing viewers to gain a deeper understanding of the track and the power it has over audiences.
Speaking about the release, ODYSSAY mentioned:
“I have been waiting for the release of this track for so long. People who come to my live shows know this track inside out and have been constantly asking me when it’s finally coming out. During rehearsals for the ODA Symphony show at the Palace of Sports, we decided to try adding a live choir to the arrangement. It integrated so perfectly and brought such an incredible, raw energy that we just had to keep it in the final studio recording. This release is deeply special to me, and I hope everyone who listens to it will enjoy it!”
ODYSSAY is a Ukrainian electronic music artist and live performer operating at the intersection of melodic techno and progressive house. Rejecting the conventional DJ format, he performs exclusively as a live act, building immersive sonic landscapes in real time through a sophisticated hardware setup of analogue synthesisers combined with live vocals. His distinctive visual identity – featuring signature all-white attire – stands in deliberate contrast to the traditionally dark aesthetic of the techno underground, reinforcing the project’s unique artistic vision both sonically and visually.
His project first gained international recognition through early releases that amassed millions of streams, and his song Before You Go was crowned “Track of the Year” on Kiss FM. Since then, ODYSSAY has released music on globally recognised labels including Interstellar (part of the Insomniac family), Armada Music, Purified Records, and Black Hole Recordings.
In a landmark achievement for the Eastern European electronic music scene, ODYSSAY became the first Ukrainian electronic artist to headline and sell out Kyiv’s Palace of Sports, the country’s largest indoor arena. Performed under wartime conditions before an audience of more than 7,000 people, the ambitious audio-visual production marked a defining cultural moment and demonstrated the power of live electronic performance to unite audiences on a stadium scale.
With Consent, ODYSSAY continues to push the boundaries between underground club culture and emotionally immersive live performance, delivering a career-defining release that will stand the test of time.
