Our first event at OT301 on 19 March with Om Unit, Illum Sphere, Raphael Vanoli, Juha, Aardvarck and Cinnaman, to celebrate our 4 year anniversary, sold out and resulted in a return for Viral Radio to true form: presenting new artists that represent the state of the art in music futurism.
On 25 and 26 November we continue down this road with a special Viral Radio Weekend in OT301. Already confirmed are our dear friends Kuedo and Tropics, and three of our favourite producers Solar Bears, Blue Daisy and S.Maharba. They join Viral Radio’s Juha on of our most colourful line-ups of futuristic electronic music in a while.

FACT mix 297 is an ominous session of clouded-over pop by Blue Daisy. He will play at the Viral Radio Weekend in OT301 on 25 November.
From FACT Magazine website: “Hailing from North London, Blue Daisy hasn’t released much – until this year’s debut album, The Sunday Gift, he’d put his name to four singles and one split, all on Black Acre – but he’s made it count, quietly honing a smoky form of pop music that owes as much to back room ’90s icons like Portishead, Tricky and, going further back, the Cocteau Twins as it does the structural freedom of Flying Lotus and Samiyam’s twisted hip-hop.
The Sunday Gift is, frankly, the best thing Blue Daisy’s done by miles. A mostly collaborative project, it finds him assembling a small team of trusted vocalists and neatly sidestepping the beat scene or dubstep associations that some cast on him; unlike the work of many of his peers, this is genuinely dark, harsh music that barely makes sense outside the night hours, and Blue Daisy doesn’t need to sample speeches from sci-fi films to prove it.
His FACT mix, sub-titled ‘Soundtrack of the Night Sky’, doesn’t have a tracklist, but it’s in the same vein as the album: downcast pop, haunted hip-hop and tons of reverb. It’s great, basically. Download it below, and read the following Q&A with its maker while you do so.”
