Paul Thompson grew up in Newcastle Upon Tyne and started djing as a teenager in the 90s after being exposed to the burgeoning local rave seen. He moved to Kyiv in 2016 and instantly fell in love with the city and the underground community. Paul is a resident at Gasoline Radio, where he hosts a monthly show.

The series is updated on a weekly basis with recordings of sets that have been played in our space since the beginning of the russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Tune in and don't forget to support the Ukrainian army, volunteer organizations and funds, including the ∄ Community Fund which continues to support volunteer initiatives from representatives of our community.
