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.

This set was played by Recid on May 7th at the Backyard opening weekend. 

Recid is a longtime resident of ∄ who needs no introduction. He has provided us with many unforgettable Backyard moments. This set, however, is extra special as it was played during the first Backyard weekend since the full-scale invasion.

Hipp-E & Greg Eversoul have had a long time friendship since the early 90s. Their love for music brought them together in the studio for the first time in 2012, for the ‘To Be Free’ EP on Tenampa Recordings.

Hipp-E also remixed Greg’s debut Ep on Nervous Records as well. Fast forward to 2025, the pair join forces again to bring you this minimal, dark, late night excursion in sound. Dark in the Light features a remix from tastemaker extraordinaire, Zoo Brazil (Bedrock, Last Night On Earth, Anjunadeep, SCI+TEC) and a big room jacking remix from Hipp-E himself.

This tasty debut release from SUPERTAPE is sure to please the most discerning of pallets.

Chris Lake - Savana (Tido Edit)

I'm Perfect

Наконец-то продолжение незабываемого утра на вечеринке Спектр.Кинематика. Трансфигурация флоры в облаках. Настя Ткачева подготовила нам запись, полную любви к электро, хаусу и трансу. Настю вдохновляет “старая школа брейкс, электро, чикаго и эйсид хаус - транса, ну и  звучание манчестерского и бельгийского рейва 80-90-х”.

КИНЕМАТИКА 024:  Nastya Tkacheva
