Just like Wikileaks, Inculeaks brings important news and information to the public through Radio! Inculeaks gives the Incubate audience a new role as creative participator and functions as a constant leak of information sent straight from the Incubate audience, to the Incubate audience.

Inculeaks collaborates with radio stations, radio makers, artists, musicians and people with a interest in Independent Culture which provide us with their own audio files, and with that, leak their personal interests on Inculeaks. Inculeaks will air 24/7 during the Incubate festival in the local Ether in Tilburg and live-stream on our website.

Leading up to the festival we are going to do lot of interviews. With (Inculeaks) radio makers, artists, DJ’s and also the people involved with Incubate. In this edition we’ve got Hugo from Red Light Radio for you.

1. Can you please introduce yourself?
“Red Light Radio is an online radio station that broadcasts from a former prostitution window in the Red Light District in Amsterdam. It was founded in December 2010 by Hugo van Heijningen and Orpheu de Jong and since the start has a very wide musical programming ranging from Metal to House to obscure Disco to Experimental Music. Red Light Radio has a 24 hour stream and broadcasts live 4 days a week. All shows are recorded and available on demand.”

2. What can we expect from your radioshow at Inculeaks?
“We’re planning to program the shows on Inculeaks as broad as we do here behind the window. So you can expect music for listening, music for dancing, comforting music, music to get uncomfoterable from, shows with more talking, shows with less talking, experimental things, you might even hear someone singing.”

3. In what way does Open Source affect you as a DJ?
“We’re a very open radio station and the fact that we’re so open brings us a lot of good suprises. Of course we invite friends that we know who do cool things and artists that we like, but we do like to discover new things too. Sometimes it doesn’t work and you have a show that you don’t really like, but that doesn’t happen so often.”

4. Do you notice a difference in participation (interactivity) when you look at Radio DJ’s nowadays? Where do you think this comes from?
“Well we’re an internet radio station, so the interacitivty is much more noticable than with “normal” radio I guess. Of course this is mainly because of social media; in our player there’s a Facebook chatbox so people can react during shows, and they do. Through our Facebook and Twitter page we get a lot of interaction with the people that listen to and follow Red Light Radio. The on demand section of Red Light Radio through Soundcloud also works really well because people can directly comment on shows, download them and share them somewhere else.”

5. What are your plans for the (near) future?
“At the moment we’re trying to get our funding for the coming year straight in order to survive. We’re doing this through crowdfunding site voordekunst, right now we’re on 50% so we still need help! If we reach 100% of the funding then the plans for the near future are to program even more hours of live braodcast than we do now. Also we’ll make a proper iPhone app for Red Light Radio on the go and we’ll add a videostream to the station. You can also expect more Red Light Radio parties and more occasions like this where Red Light Radio steps out of the “peeskamer” and broadcasts as part of festivals or other events.”
