Paide is a DJ and promoter of the footwork culture in Poland and worldwide. He’s also one of the curators of the dub techno compilations: „Szmery” (Kanu Kanu, 2015) and "Doubts" (Pawlacz Perski, 2016).

In 2010, inspired by the first footwork Planet Mu releases, he started with podcasts series on radio-alternator broadcast promoting Chicago footwork. That idea was pioneering in Poland (amongst just a very few, similiar one, worldwide at that time) and became an inspiration for the others. Until 2016 he was a member of Polish Juke, the crew he co-founded with Mateo.

Apart from his promoter role, he played alongside the top footwork artists from Chicago: DJ Rashad, DJ Spinn, DJ Earl and Traxman. In 2016 he visited Japan where he played shows in Tokyo and Osaka alongside the most important Japanese footwork producers: DJ Fulltono, CRZKNY, Kent from Paisley Parks, Hiroki Yamamura, Satanicpornocultshop, Boogie Mann, Keito and many more. Later on this year he also had the opportunity to take part of the Unsound Festival in Cracow as an artist.

In 2016 he also started his own tape label outlines focused on more experimental side of footwork music and 160BPM. The idea of the label is to release tapes with over 9 minutes 160 BPM/footwork track on each side of the tape. So far he has brought out a series of tapes dedicated to the creators of minimal footwork: DJ Fulltono, CRZKNY and Skip Club Orchestra. Another series is dedicated to the female producers. Two of three tapes have been already released and belong to Aylu and AGF.
