Tornada at Let It Roll 2025: A Ukrainian Artist on the World's Biggest DnB Stage

Sometimes a story writes itself fast, unexpected, and without a long preamble. That is exactly what happened with Tornada: a Ukrainian artist who took her first steps in drum and bass only at the end of 2024, and by July 2025 was already standing on the stage of Let It Roll — the festival its own organisers call the world's leading DnB event. By her side: her fellow Ukrainians and label partners Agressor Bunx, one of the most recognised Ukrainian names in global neurofunk.

Less than a year in the genre behind her. Thousands of people in front of her, L-Acoustics and Funktion-One sound systems, and a stage that producers from across the globe dream of reaching. This is not the peak of a career. It is the beginning of one.

Let It Roll 2025: A New Chapter on the Lakeshore

Every year, Let It Roll proves that drum and bass is no underground niche — it is a fully-fledged musical force with hundreds of thousands of dedicated listeners worldwide. In 2025, the festival opened a new chapter: it moved to a brand-new venue, Lake Most, a scenic lake in the Czech Republic. From 31 July to 3 August, the cream of the global DnB scene gathered here.

The organisers delivered on every promise. Unique stage designs, world-class sound from L-Acoustics and Funktion-One, every DnB subgenre represented, 7 label takeovers, and massive A/V shows every evening. Let It Roll has long outgrown the format of a regular concert. It is a multi-day world where music never stops, and every appearance on stage becomes a moment people talk about for months.

This is the world that Tornada stormed into in 2025.

Who Is Tornada — and Why Her Story Matters

Behind the stage name Tornada — known in another life as Oksana Cherna — is an artist with an unconventional backstory. Long before she arrived in drum and bass, her voice was already reaching large audiences: her appearance on The Voice opened doors to serious music industry work, including tours in China and multiple diverse projects across different genres.

But her true calling emerged at the intersection of two completely different worlds — drum and bass and Ukrainian folk music. Her sound is not just broken rhythms and heavy bass. It is a story in which modern electronic energy is woven together with folk melodies rooted deep in Ukrainian tradition. The result is something difficult to mistake for anything else.

At the end of 2024, Tornada officially joined the Ukrainian label CRNG Records and almost immediately began releasing music. Tracks came one after another: Golos, Shelest, Incide My World, ZOZULYA, Paru Bochok, Don't Look Back — each release adding a new layer to her signature sound. In less than a year she became one of the label's most active and recognisable artists.

The pace is extraordinary. The times are wartime. The context is Ukrainian. All of this together turns the story of Tornada into something much more than a career achievement.

Agressor Bunx Bring Tornada to the Let It Roll Stage

Agressor Bunx are a Ukrainian duo of brothers Alexander and Nikolay, founded in 2009 in Bila Tserkva. Over fifteen years they built a path from the local scene to the biggest European stages, releasing music on labels including Blackout Music, Eatbrain and Ram Records. Their tracks Radical Sound, The Order and Tommy Gun have long been anthems of the neurofunk scene.

At Let It Roll 2025, Agressor Bunx did not take the stage alone. They invited Tornada to join them — and that move became one of the most meaningful gestures in CRNG Records history. Two generations of Ukrainian DnB on one stage: a duo that built their reputation over years, and a voice that had only just appeared on the horizon.

Meetings That Say More Than a Press Release

The weekend also brought together some of drum and bass's most respected names. Jade Venom, boss of the legendary Eatbrain label and one of neurofunk's key figures, met Agressor Bunx and Tornada backstage — a moment that speaks volumes about where CRNG Records stands in the global scene.

The crew also crossed paths with QZB, the Swiss neurofunk powerhouse, on the festival grounds — another sign of how naturally the CRNG Records artists move among the genre's biggest names.

Tornada's appearance before the Let It Roll crowd was living proof that Ukrainian electronic music keeps moving forward — through war, through distance, through everything.

Ukraine on the World's Biggest Stage: What It Means

When we talk about Let It Roll, we are talking about an event that draws tens of thousands of drum and bass fans from every corner of the world every year. This is not a regional festival or a club night — it is a destination people travel across continents to reach. Getting here as an artist is already an achievement. Getting here less than a year after launching a career is a different story entirely.

Tornada's story does not fit the standard narrative of a long road to success. She launched at the end of 2024 and immediately hit her stride. That is the result of talent, the right environment, and the moment when everything falls into place.

CRNG Records as a label has always bet on character over quantity. Tornada is the clearest example of that philosophy. Her music, her voice, her stage presence — all of it serves a single idea: Ukrainian culture does not go silent. It finds new formats and keeps sounding in places where it is least expected, including on the main festival stages of Europe.

What Comes Next

After Let It Roll 2025, the question who is Tornada no longer needs a long answer in DnB circles. The name is remembered. The voice is recognised. The story is told.

The CRNG Records catalogue keeps growing: Spalah produced by Agressor Bunx themselves, Closer with Freakbreak, My World with Chimalli, Gorobejko with Bad District, Umbrella Season — Tornada's music does not stand still. Every release is a new step; every collaboration expands the geography and the audience.

The Let It Roll 2025 stage was not a finish line. It was a starting gun.
