Spiritual Viking publishes playlist for ninth show with guest DJ Jares

Spiritual Viking published the playlist for his ninth show with guest DJ Jares on Scientific Sound Asia. 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 ninth show on Scientific Sound Asia features guest DJ Jares and presents another selection shaped by Techno and underground electronic music. Further music and mixes can be followed through his SoundCloud, where his selections document his work as Spiritual Viking.

Guest DJ Jares.

Guest DJ Jares is a Montreal-based DJ and producer whose sound is rooted in deep Progressive House, Melodic House and Techno. His style combines ethereal textures, orchestral tones and detailed rhythms, creating music shaped by atmosphere, melody and club-focused structure.

His musical direction is built around the idea that deep progressive sonorities and precise rhythmic detail can produce a state of euphoria and mindfulness. That approach places him within the deeper side of the electronic spectrum, where melodic progression and emotional tension play a central role.

Jares is also connected to Bonimenteurs, a Montreal-based arts collective and label combining music, visual art, live performance and narrative-led creative work. The collective background adds a broader artistic context to his productions and DJ sets.

Although he was still relatively new to production when this guest appearance first aired, Jares had already released music through labels including Husa Sounds, Suprematic Sounds, Three Hands Records and Three Records UK. He also joined the A&R team for Space Tale Records, extending his role beyond DJing and production.

His later catalogue has expanded across labels including DAYS like NIGHTS, KATERMUKKE, Global Underground, UGENIUS, ZEHN Records, Astral Records, 3rd Avenue, Movement Limited and TalkTalk Records. Recent releases and remixes include Letter From Jules with Juliana Urban, No Holding Back with VEROLILA, Taking Control, Special Places, Tunnel Vision with AFK (LB), and Ball Of Fire with Ray Sam and Naji S.

Jares has also delivered remixes for artists including Tomy Wahl, Keef Luv, Jenner (CA) and Valmaiin. His guest appearance with Spiritual Viking brings a melodic and progressive contrast to the show, linking Montreal’s underground Techno culture with a wider international release network.

Spiritual Viking presents episode 9 on Scientific Sound Asia, with the first hour mixed by Spiritual Viking and the second hour by Jares. The two-hour archive episode moves through Melodic House and Techno, Progressive House, Organic House, Tech House and Minimal Tech.

Spiritual Viking opens the first hour with 2Qimic’s Feelings, setting a Progressive House tone before Modd’s Manchyn introduces an Organic House direction. Cid Inc. follows with Turning Pages, while Niukid and Augusto Gagliardi with Aske Izan keep the opening section in a melodic Progressive House frame.

Alex Boneti’s Les Sables Noirs in the Hooll remix extends that early flow before Hermanez adds a Tech House turn with Back In Neferno. Alex Lario’s Theory Of Points then moves briefly into Minimal Tech, giving the first hour a tighter rhythmic break.

Lehar’s Flora and Stephan Bodzin’s Strand bring the first hour into Melodic House and Techno, adding a more expansive late-section shape. Aske Izan’s Sunday Mood and Dominik Eulberg with Essey on Dream Machine close Spiritual Viking’s hour between Progressive House and melodic material.

Jares opens the second hour with Mark Tarmonea and Felix Raphael’s Pull Revisited, setting a vocal-led Melodic House and Techno direction. Levi David’s Colours In The Sky in the Soul Button remix then shifts the guest hour towards Organic House before Nomann’s unreleased Terra appears in the Jares remix.

Lo and Ashkan Dian continue the second hour with Eden and 963 Hz, keeping the sound melodic and measured. Amad’s Together with Luca and Josefono L Telefono with Apo Tulup on Kol Naak add Organic House detail to the middle of the guest mix.

Jares then presents the unreleased Abyss, giving the second hour a personal production point before Civil Servant’s Silent Cry returns the set to Progressive House. Thysma’s Shapes and Hans Zimmer’s Time in the Paradoks edit close episode 9 with a melodic finish.
