RADIOHOP are a four-piece jazz/hip-hop band from Amsterdam, exploring the boundaries between groove, texture and improvisation. The bands members - Joshua Lutz (keys), Euan Jenkins (drums), Johnny Biner (guitar) and Joel Svedberg (bass) - moved to Amsterdam around 2020 to study jazz and quickly plugged into the city's bubbling scene. Each band member plays an equal role in shaping the music as a single organism, emphasising feeling and atmosphere rather than ego or individual spotlight. The compositions arise from experimentation, intuitive collaboration, and deep listening, an approach that has as much to do with their backgrounds as improvisers and beat-makers as it does with their roots in jazz. RADIOHOP have performed as the rhythm section for artists like Soul Supreme and Juju Rogers. HARD TO HANDLE is their second album and the first on Melting Pot Music. As the title suggests, RADIOHOP are going hard on this one.
