Spiritual Viking announces playlist for sixth show

Spiritual Viking’s sixth show originally aired on Scientific Sound Asia on Sunday 11 April 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 sixth show on Scientific Sound Asia presents another selection shaped by Techno and underground electronic music. 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 6 on Scientific Sound Asia, with an archive mix focused on Techno, Peak Time Techno, Melodic House and Techno and Progressive House. The episode features music from Fabrication, Pagano, Chris Bekker, Josh Wink, Maceo Plex, Arnaud Le Texier, Fabiotek and Marco Effe.

Frank Mauer opens with Attack, setting a direct Techno tone before Apart Mind adds a Progressive House contrast with Burning Sands. Pagano and Chris Bekker then move the episode into Peak Time Techno with Hashtag Boundaries, followed by Fabrication’s Melodic House and Techno cut Dustpig.

Marco Effe, Danny Kendall and Silvia LV move the mix back into Techno through Resolution and Bad Trip. Fabiotek’s Moonlight then gives the sequence a melodic turn before Tuz and David Granha continue the first section with Tech Heaven and Leads Of Death.

Marck D’s I Wanna Say and KriZFade with Smo Key on I Tool 1403 bring the set into a harder rhythmic passage. BEC’s Energy adds Peak Time Techno pressure, while Melissa Queen’s Aura in the Bob Ray remix returns the mix to Melodic House and Techno.

Igor Milton appears twice in the central section with Balkan Turbine and Raptor, keeping the rhythm firmly in Techno territory. Flatch’s Hold Your Horses and Josh Wink with Maceo Plex on Destination Mars then drive the episode towards a Peak Time Techno peak.

Daniel Herrmann and D.N.S continue with LSD Bitch, followed by Tinex’s Goin Commando and Joton’s Pot 1. Marco Ginelli and El Erion’s Plankton introduces a Minimal Tech turn, before E La Luna’s Get Lost shifts the groove towards Tech House.

Arnaud Le Texier’s Continuum gives the closing section a Deep Techno focus, followed by Fabiotek’s Hour Glass and Hefty’s Rebirth. Mooz, Magna Pie and Hannes Matthiessen close the episode with Reload, Rachael and Sleep Deprivation, ending the mix across Tech House, Progressive House and Peak Time Techno.
