It is the first Friday of the month and that means it is time for a walk in your operating system. Listen to the tingles of your tweets and to the rhythm of your RAM. It is time for Viral Radio, your friendly neighbourhood electronic music evangelist, inviting you to believe in the power of digital frequencies.

On this month’s edition we present two artists we have been following for years and years: Dimlite and Jamie Vex’d. Swiss born Dimlite (Dimitri Grimm, 1980) is a master of mosaic textures and imaginative drum patterns. He is one of the most admired artists of his generation and a distinguished performer. His concerts at the Bimhuis in 2008 and 2009 rank among the best given there in the past few years. Englishman Jamie Vex’d (Jamie Teasdale, 1979) has gained critical acclaim as experimental dubstep duo Vex’d. They released the album Degenerate on Planet Mu in 2005, a prescient example of forward thinking bass music. Jamie has released solo works that are closer related to the video game and science fiction cartoons aesthetic of Hudson Mohawke and Rustie. He has created the new avatar Kuedo, that will release its first tracks within weeks. It is already one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

Viral Radio is delighted to present these two gentlemen of artists at TrouwAmsterdam tonight. They are transformers of their time, musical androids from another galaxy. The evening starts at 22:30, and tickets are 12 euros. As always, Viral Radio hosts Juha and Cinnaman will play their music straight out of the package. We look forward to welcoming you.

Every month we will update you with what is currently on our radar. In the near future we will compile a playlist at nalden.net. Here are this month’s artists:

1. Kuedo
Probably the strongest debut of 2010. Vivid synthetic melodies, robotic drum patterns and haunting basslines. His new E.P. Starfox will be released on Planet Mu in March. Welcome home Jamie Vex’d.

2. Stagga
Is in the vivid magenta realm of Kuedo, James Blake and Slugabed. Combines a forceful rave energy with gravity defying frequency shifts. Involved with Berlin’s Sirius nights, together with Doshy.

3. Pixelord
Moscow producer with a strong video game aesthetic. There’s some Joker, some Rustie, and some Sonic the Hedgehog. And with Ol and Lapti, Moscow seems to be building a strong scene.

4. Baths
We don’t know much about this young man, but we were introduced to him by our good friend Matthew David of Leaving Records and Brainfeeder. His album ‘Baths’ has not been released yet, but will stir up the already rich electronic music scene in Los Angeles.

5. Loops Haunt
Another friendly introduction, this time by Ned Beckett of Little Big in Berlin. After Rustie, Hudson Mohawke and Kode9 he is another Scottish producer that is taking the world by storm. We wonder what is in their water. His much anticipated ‘Impact Omnihammer E.P’. has just been released on Black Acre. Loops Haunt will play alongside Rustie on Viral Radio in March.

Friday 8 January 2010 will be the first Viral Radio of the new decade. In the new year, the Amsterdam vehicle for well tempered drum machines will investigate the musical identities of 6 cities that are part of the viral networks of experimental bass and beat music creation and distribution.

Theses cities are: 1. Amsterdam (January); 2. Glasgow (March); 3. Bristol (May); 4. London (August); 5. Sydney (October); 6. Los Angeles (December).

On the Amsterdam Edition local wonderboys of bleep hop Zwart Licht will perform live, with the support of their producers FS Green and Sir OJ. Viral Radio veteranAardvarck – DNA testing should one day prove the theory he is the father of theGaslamp Killer – will join hosts Juha & Cinnaman to cover the spectrum of bleeps and bass in Amsterdam.

Viral Radio will continue to do regular events in the months in between, and radio shows every two weeks on VPRO’s 3voor12, bringing the next level in computated acoustic stimulants.
