The Vanished Dutchman

Joost The Vanished Dutchman is, as you might have guessed, from The Netherlands. You cannot pronounce his name easily: Juiced? Well it's an anti- artist name lads and gents! He's a musician first, writing, recording, playing and spreading it digital, it's a flat earth anyway! Tom Robinson played Bomb Won't Go Off (Fresh Fave) , Stupid Songs and Chalky on his BBC6 Shows.
