Juhani (aka Nikola Tesla) is a hip-hop loop digger who first heard an NWA song in high school and hasn’t managed to let go since. Although he’s the most inexperienced of the Plauge DJ’s, he has on occasion manned the turntables and DJ’d. In his heart of hearts he is a beatmaker however, even though you or no one else save a few friends of his have ever heard his work (a situation which he is planning to remedy with the publishing side of Plauge). Even though hip hop is his first love, mr. Tesla is very much into funk, soul, disco and miscellaneous electronic stuff. He’s also found a penchant for some more danceable music as well and you may hear a track of his playing in a Plauge event.
