The organizers promise an exclusive Purim atmosphere with a go-go show and an ‘international vibe’. However, behind the name of the invited artist is not only club marketing but also a long-standing stage history associated with Ukraine.
From the Kharkiv scene to international tours
DJ Aurika is a Ukrainian DJ professionally associated with Kharkiv. Her career started in the late 2000s, and since 2009 she has been actively working on the international stage.
Biographical descriptions mention hundreds of club performances and dozens of countries. These formulations are replicated in official profiles and posters and have become part of her stage positioning.
Over the years, her musical vector has evolved along with the trends of the electronic scene.

Evolution of musical style
Early period
At the beginning of her career, DJ Aurika worked mainly in the genres:
-
Electro House
-
Progressive House
-
Tech House
This stage was accompanied by an active show format and visually bright performances.
Modern direction
In recent years, posters and sets have been dominated by:
-
Afro House
-
Melodic Techno
-
House

Indie Dance
The sound has become more European and atmospheric while maintaining dance density.
Stage image: T-DJ format
In early sources, DJ Aurika appears as T-DJ (Topless DJ). In the late 2000s — early 2010s, this format was part of the club industry in Eastern Europe.
It was about a show presentation where the DJ combines a musical performance with a bright visual performance — revealing stage costumes, elements of go-go aesthetics, and an emphasis on stage presence.
During that period, the club market actively used such formats as a tool to attract audiences. The artist became not only the musical but also the visual center of the stage.
Over time, the image transformed. Today, DJ Aurika is positioned primarily as a touring electronic artist with an emphasis on the musical component.
Musical releases and touring activity
DJ Aurika’s creativity develops in two directions — set and studio.
Her mix archive can be traced back to at least 2013. In recent years, there has been an increase in live sets and online publications.
Among studio releases are collaborations with producer The Max on the 404 Deep Records label, including Overrun (2020) and Baseline (2021).
In 2024–2026, public announcements include performances in Kyiv, Tallinn, Chisinau, Bucharest, and now — in Haifa.
It is in this international context that the editorial team of НАновости — Новости Израиля | Nikk.Agency considers her visit as part of a broader picture: Ukrainian artists continue to tour, appear on European and Middle Eastern stages, and maintain cultural presence beyond their country.
Public support for Ukraine after 2022
After the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, DJ Aurika publicly stated her position.
The first weeks of the war
In 2022, her messages indicated that she was in Kharkiv and ready to help — including providing transport and logistical support to those in need.
Charitable initiatives
In June 2024, DJ Aurika performed in Kyiv at an event in Blockbuster Mall, where a charity auction and Meet & Greet were held as part of the event. At that time, 39,962 UAH were raised in favor of the Nastup Fund for psychological rehabilitation programs for military families.
Targeted collection 2025
In September 2025, the artist initiated a fundraiser for electronic warfare equipment for military unit A7383, associated with the 127th mechanized brigade defending the Kharkiv region.
Thus, her support for Ukraine was expressed not only in statements but also in concrete actions.
Why her performance in Israel matters
After 2022, Israel accepted a significant number of people from Ukraine. For the Ukrainian community, performances by artists on the Israeli stage are not only entertainment but also an element of cultural connection.
MALINA PURIM March 6 is a vibrant club night with an international lineup. At the same time, it is a performance by a Ukrainian artist who has traveled from the Kharkiv scene to international tours and continues to publicly support her country.
For some, it will be just a dance set. For others, a reminder that the Ukrainian cultural scene remains alive and active even in wartime conditions.
