Verse iTal on Asylum Radio

Haarlem, a city 15-minutes (via train) outside of Amsterdam, was the location of Verse iTal’s second interview. Following the directions to the studio, we found ourselves walking through a residential area, questioning whether we were in fact going the right way. Arriving at the given address, we didn’t know what to expect, as it was an apartment building but I could hear music coming from one of the floors above making me semi-confident that we were in the correct spot. 

DJ Spy, the host of the live streaming show on Asylum radio, greeted us warmly into his apartment, which as it turned out doubled as his studio. He had an impressive broadcasting set up and his neat room was complete with a coffee table of snacks for his guests! (Thanks for the peanut M&M’s!) Now I must mention here that I have never seen someone (efficiently) do so many things at the same time. I mean this guy was doing duties that would normally take a whole team to do… and at lightening fast speed I might add. Selecting tunes, mixing tunes, checking the fan comments online, shouting out the listeners, making jokes, interviewing Verse iTal, and addressing the online audience via the webcam were all done simultaneously. It was amazing to watch!

The show was very entertaining! Verse sang his own tunes and also freestyled to beats of various genres that DJ Spy threw randomly at him. With the live audience enjoying the vibes, Verse was able to engage with them and get positive feedback right away. Big shout out to Ania for organizing this interview! As always we are so grateful! Here are a few photos from the interview:
