Andriy Klen is the co-founder of Pet Cube, design buro Ozero and since recently a platform supporting Ukrainian business Spend with Ukraine.

In this episode we discussed how badass Ukrainians are for having multiple jobs at a time. Literally everyone does that right now: working your main job and then volunteering the rest of your time, which is a full-time job in itself. How do we still keep going like this? Where does the inspiration to actively run so many things come from?

We also met with Andriy before the war and he had mentioned that his companies had plans for evacuation while we were convinced that a full on invasion is totally nuts. What were the first days for his companies like? What is it like to be a business leader in this time of war? How did he come up with an idea of Spend for Ukraine - a marketplace for all the things and services Ukraine has to offer,  and what is the international response to this initiative like?

Listen to an episode to get answers to all the questions above. And check Spend with Ukraine - we love it and everyone should love it too.

In this episode we spoke to Maya Baklanova & Tanya Voytko, representatives of the ∄ community fund.

∄ is a phenomenal Kyiv based arts and music institution, of cult status. And the ∄ fund is aimed to provide financial, humanitarian and logistical support to the musical and cultural community that has been facing life-threatening challenges since the beginning of the russian invasion of Ukraine. At the beginning of the war the club community released an open letter - explaining what’s going on, indicating the ways the world can help and calling to cancel russian art and artists. A lot of people understood and supported, but in general this letter was largely discussed and heavily criticized and many people from western community still dare to think that “music is not political”.

Apart from the fund activities we discussed the Ukrainian electronic music scene a bit. For instance, a couple of episodes ago Nastia DJ said that the Ukrainian electronic scene fell apart and showed itself as not being as united as we all thought it was. What do Maya and Tanya have to say about such a statement? In short: their experience is totally different.

Listen to the new episode to understand the raw and authentic ukrainian electronic scene and how it survives during the War.
