Spiritual Viking announces playlist for fourth show

Spiritual Viking’s fourth show originally aired on Scientific Sound Asia on Sunday 28 March 2021. The platform operates as an Asian underground electronic music radio station for Japan, Vietnam, China, India and international audiences, alongside its work as a DJ agency, promoter and music news outlet.

Spiritual Viking, real name Trevor Peterson, is a Canadian DJ from Montreal. His connection with Techno began in 1999, shaped by the city’s club and after-hours culture during a key period for electronic music.

At the age of 20, he was strongly influenced by Montreal’s nightlife and the weekly gatherings at SONA Afterhours Club. The venue introduced him to international artists and helped form the foundations of his sound.

During that era, Montreal hosted major electronic music figures including Tiesto, Carl Cox, John Digweed, Josh Wink and Richie Hawtin. Those artists became lasting reference points for Spiritual Viking’s musical direction and DJ style.

He first learned to mix using the classic setup of Technics SL-1200 turntables and a Vestax mixer. Living in a loft on St Laurent Street placed him close to many of Montreal’s clubs and nightlife spaces.

Around the turn of the millennium, he played regularly at Quattro Supper Club every Friday and SHED Café every other Saturday. These appearances gave him early exposure within Montreal’s nightlife scene and strengthened his connection with club culture.

That period also brought personal difficulties, as his involvement in the scene became tied to drug and alcohol problems. In 2009, he entered rehabilitation and began rebuilding his life with a renewed sense of direction.

By 2013, Spiritual Viking returned to DJing and reconnected with the music that had first inspired him. He began sharing his sound again in Montreal, performing regularly at local bars and clubs.

His fourth show on Scientific Sound Asia presents another selection shaped by his Techno background and underground electronic influences. Further music and mixes can be followed through his SoundCloud, where his selections continue to document his work as Spiritual Viking.

Spiritual Viking presents episode 4 on Scientific Sound Asia, with an archive mix built around Techno, Peak Time Techno, Melodic House and Techno and Progressive House. The episode features music from Green Velvet, Layton Giordani, Anfisa Letyago, Adam Beyer, Bart Skils, Carl Cox, Dave Seaman and Marco Effe.

Bagback opens with Tic Tac, followed by Axel Kay’s Tool and Digital Session’s Space Transition in the IG Noise remix. Michel Lloyd and Marco Effe then strengthen the Techno direction with Autobahn and Resolution, giving the opening section a direct club structure.

Green Velvet’s La La Land in the Layton Giordani remix moves the mix into Peak Time Techno, followed by Sean Sever’s Sonar and Woody McBride’s First Step. Melissa Queen, FabioTek and Boris Immortal then shift the programme towards melodic material with Aura, Moonlight and Sakura.

Dave Seaman’s Virgo Ryzin in the Audiojack remix and The Stupid Experts’ S.S.S.O.N in the Colide The Sky remix bring a Progressive House section into the middle of the episode. Anfisa Letyago’s Take It Easy then returns the set to a Peak Time Techno setting before Kai Pattenberg’s Gratwanderung adds a Hard Techno edge.

KriZFade and Smo Kay’s I Tool 1403 in the Mechanic Freakz remix keeps the rhythm firm, before DJ Louiss and K-Mel add contrasting entries through Escape Solution and Centaurus. Raar’s Le Sacrifice Moral and Faku.G’s Abnormal Thought keep the Techno pressure in place, while Keep This returns to a deeper melodic frame with Sleeping With Ghosts.

Steven Campodonico’s Classic Coke in the Blood Nose remix and Niukid’s Qosqoricon move the set between Techno and Progressive House. Parlando’s Vento and Marco Effe’s Sexgas in the Lee Van Dowski remix then add a more reduced section, with the latter fitting the Minimal Tech category.

Grimes Adhesif’s Kalender Days and Kenny B.’s Tagtraum add further melodic detail around Edo Messina’s The Right Decision and Flatch’s Hold Your Horses. The closing sequence brings Adam Beyer and Bart Skils’ Your Mind, Carl Cox’s I Want You (Forever) in the Josh Butler remix and Carles DJ with Phoenix2kx on How Are You, ending the episode across Peak Time Techno, Tech House and Techno.
