Thongvor is a producer and live performer from Kyiv and co-owner of Woohaa! Records.

His productions are built around samples, keys and analogue synths, with drum machines and Afro-Cuban percussion holding down the rhythm. Field recordings, acid lines and traditional motifs — Ukrainian, Eastern — find their way in too. The result lands somewhere between Balearic, lo-fi house and tribal, without trying to fit neatly into any of those.

On top of the music — sounds of the ocean, crowds, birds. Things that create a sense of place, even when you're far from one.

His debut EP Life is Better at the Beach came out in 2024 on Woohaa! — five tracks threaded around one travel narrative. In 2025, his track Acid Patio opened the Rainbow Railway compilation on Regulardisco, a collection of Ukrainian artists with part of the proceeds going to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The same year he contributed a remix for KBT — The Remixes, also on Regulardisco.

Live, Thongvor performs standing with an AKAI APC40 running into Ableton — a 60-minute set routed through a Universal Audio Apollo Solo. Past appearances include Strichka (Closer, Kyiv), Kultura Zvuku, Bruxkt, Hider (Odesa), Ganok and Confidance (Lviv), and Spilka (Lutsk).
