A small accident by Qmusic DJ Mattie Valk (38) has slightly less minor consequences. During the broadcast yesterday, he accidentally poured a shot of energy drink over an important mixing console, which broke three slides. The bill? Three times 2500 euros.
The panel in front of Mattie Valk is the lifeblood of the most popular morning show in the Netherlands: while colleagues are chatting, he always operates the buttons. Those who did not watch via webcam yesterday morning initially had no idea what was happening in the studio. ,,Oh cunt, cunt, cunt, my God”, Mattie only scolded. “I’m sorry, something’s wrong here.”
The DJ, who turned 38 yesterday, received a basket full of 38 typical ‘Mattie Valk breakfasts’ from his colleagues, or a can of energy drink and a protein bar. During a telephone conversation with a listener, he seemed to want to read the label of a candy bar, but forgot that he also had an open can in his hand.

“Joe, we need some paper,” he told producer Joe Stam, who was clearly shaken. ,,I don’t know if we are still broadcasting at the moment.” The splash of light energy drink had worrying consequences. ,,So what the hell is that,” said Mattie. “It looks like it’s on fire.” According to the DJ, the buttons on the panel slowly went out, the show had to be finished in another studio.
,,Yesterday I became a year older, the technical department of Qmusic became ten years older in one fell swoop”, Valk looked back this morning. “It really wasn’t fun. Do you want to know the damage? Three faders, as they are called, those slides on the mixing console, have broken. Do you want to know what a drawer costs? 2500 euros. I did damage for 7500 euros yesterday. Terrible.”
