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.

Orion Nebula w. Zitto invites Erika [27.05.25]

When OK EG enters Varden it’s 8:30PM on Sunday. It’s been a slow and steady build during the day, much slower than the day before, people have been given time to rest properly from a late night on Saturday. This is the journey. The ebb and flow of the forest. It’s their job to get the crowd going for the last couple of interval sprints. They are well rested and ready.

OK EG’s expansive sound is deep and diverse. Their compositions display a range that shifts between delicate, textural soundscapes, and spiralling, mesmerizing, mind-trip techno.

They first went to Monument festival in 2024, taking a break from a residency at EMS in Stockholm to spend a weekend in the forest. They brought a field recorder with them and spent time on the riverbank recording the sound of stones and water.

And listen to this level of dedication; while preparing for their live set in 2025, they used those recordings to write a closing track called Monument Stone. This is what they said about it. ”In the moment of performing it at the festival, we felt that everything came together. The crowd, the music and the site connected and it happened just as we’d imagined it.”

During their set day turns to dusk. We transition together, ready for the night - the sound, nature, forest and lights. Hand in hand.

Monument Festival 2025 : OK EG (live)

В один теплий вечір, без здогадок та сподівань, моя кохана принесла додому цей атмосферно-емоційний настрій, що згодом перетворився на трек. Він довгий час зовсім не виходив із моєї голови, і, як кульмінація, це привело до створення цього витвору мистецтва. Це було, мабуть, уперше, коли під час усього процесу написання я не міг стримати сліз радості та натхнення, що супроводжувалися перехопленим диханням. Тепер у мене є він — можливо, не модний, але на 100% такий, що потрапляє просто в серце й душу. І тепер він є і у вас, мої любі слухачі. 

On one warm evening, without any hints or expectations, my beloved brought home this atmospheric and emotional feeling that later transformed into a track. It stayed in my mind for a long time, and ultimately became the inspiration for creating this piece of art. It was probably the first time when, throughout the entire writing process, I couldn’t hold back tears of joy and inspiration, accompanied by breathless excitement. Now I have it — maybe not trendy, but 100% heartfelt, touching the soul and striking straight to the heart. And now it’s yours too, my dear listeners.
