On Friday 24 April 2009, stealth musicians Kode9 & the Spaceape, a British duo with followers from the streets of Croydon to the columns of the New Yorker, gave a rare live performance at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam. Here is a first impression of a new piece called ‘Other Man,’ due to appear on their long awaited second album in the end of 2009.
The performance of Kode9 & the Spaceape at the Bimhuis resembled, in duration, complexity and repetition, a traditional symphony. Their physical movement on stage was a bonus: a dark ballet of invisible limbs and ghostly vocals forming an architecture of abstraction. The track ‘Other Man’ can be added to the canon of electronic music, such imaginative power and urgent force it conveyed. Wireless electricity.

To celebrate 1 year of Beat Dimensions concerts at the Bimhuis, we have invited three of our favourite musicians to perform live in Amsterdam. Kode9 & the Spaceape will demonstrate their Bass Fiction live set, a rhythmically desolate and sonically dense architecture of sub frequencies, whilst Dimlite will display yet again why he is a master of mosaic textures and imaginative drum patterns. Digikid Cinnaman and laureate Juha will play music from a not so distant future in the bar before, between and after the concerts.
Doors open around 11, and the concerts start at 11.30. We look forward to seeing you there.

Just a quick one for all those bored out of their mind this weekend and who are near Groningen, there will be an odd little festival on Sunday with a stunning line up. Clashed is an Easter festival at De Oosterpoort in Groningen. It has a bunch of techno artists performing in the main hall, but never mind that – go straight to the basement where Loefah will present his unofficial soundtrack to Fightclub, Rustie will play his digital dolphin songs, and Hudson Mohawke will finally hammer out that requiem for fax machines he’s been working on. Appleblim will not fall far from the tree either.
Join the festival on Last FM and Twitter. And come. Don’t be shy, have a drink with us. The Viral Radio cult will be supporting, alcoholically speaking that is.
P.S. There seems to be a lot more going on. Who knew about this? Was I blind, or didn’t anyone else know about this either?

We want your music (photo: Rosa Koolhoven)
Viral Radio is returning to the radio a week from now, on Dutch public network 3voor12 (which might make us the Mary and Ann of the Netherlands). We will focus on new ventures in beat-driven bass-laden gravity-defying electronic music. We are looking for new producers to showcase, previously unheard tracks to testdrive, and quantum algorhythms to solve.
Bring it on, either here, there or elsewhere. Thank you.

Clark playing live at Viral Radio (photo: Scott McMillan)
English Mapsadasaical blogger and Resonance FM presenter Scott McMillan visited Amsterdam last week for the World Minimal Music Festival at the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, and took the time to join us for Viral Radio on Friday night. He wrote a lovely review that makes every Amsterdammer happy to live here:
“I arrived in time to catch Juha (one of the people behind Non-Fiction) behind the decks with fellow Viral Radio promoter Cinnaman. At least I think I did; it was so deliciously dark in there that it took me a good few minutes even to locate the DJs, even from just a few feet away. It was immediately obvious where they had (rightly) spent a huge part of their money: a state-of-the-art sound system. A selection of woozy beats were emanating from the speakers, building through dubstep to some chaotic Autechre-ish techno that totally left-footed the brave souls attempting to dance. After we were well and truly warmed up, the silhouette of Clark appeared in front of a projection which looked like a poster for the film Vertigo to dispense a spiralling set of rhythms. He began with splinters of the title track from his new Growl’s Garden EP, gradually turning up the volume and the tempo until Trouw was a stomping frenzy – by the close the bpm count had been pushed well into whatever is beyond the red. I realised then that I probably don’t do this sort of thing often enough back home – but where are the London clubs as well-designed, cutting edge, unpretentious and downright friendly as Trouw back home? I’m afraid I just don’t know any more.”
Read the whole post here, and have a look at the beautiful pictures Scott took.
