 RADIOHOP are a four-piece jazz / hip-hop band from Amsterdam, exploring the boundaries between groove, texture and improvisation. ‘HARD TO HANDLE’ is their second album and the first drop on Melting Pot Music. As the title suggests, RADIOHOP are going hard on this one.
 RADIOHOP are Joshua Lutz (keys), Euan Jenkins (drums), Johnny Biner (guitar) and Joel Svedberg (bass). All four of them 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. Beat-heads might be familiar with Joshua’s solo project
 Halfpastseven, which has collaborated with FloFilz and Jake Milliner.
