Music from creatives, music for creatives. Simple as that. In bringing together visual artists and DJs to produce unique mixes for the creative community, Brainstorm Radio provides the best tunes for those long hours in the studio, workshop or gallery – or when you’re feeling like a couch potato, we won’t judge.
Why? In 2011 researchers in the Netherlands found that the music one listens to can temporarily change a person’s visual
perception and affect what they think they see. In short: the music you are
listening to
directly alters the way you perceive the world. Your music selection just might make the difference
between fast mark
making or making calm color choices.
Why mixes instead of Spotify lists?
We believe that you experience music much better by hearing a fluent story instead of skipping back & forth between tracks.

JOHAN AMENYEKU / JJAQ
DJ / French teacherJohan, known by his stage name JJAQ, is a Belgian recording artist and DJ based in Rotterdam. As the son of a father with disc jockey dreams and ambitions, he already had a major CD and vinyl collection within his reach at a young age. Being born with a firm amount of curiosity and Togolese roots, he sifted his dad's collection and listened and danced to the records of different kinds of genres. His taste evolved and he grew a fondness for a rough form of black music, which made him observe different artists more and more. This led to different types of music and a unique style, which he describes as "raw baseline with a funk".
