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.

Viral Radio has had an incredible run of events in the last month, with a sold out Amsterdam Dance Event pandemonium and a roadtrip to Nijmegen with Gaslamp Killer and Nosaj Thing. We are very grateful for all these musicians playing at our events, and very fortunate to have such a following (i.e. you) to make this all happen. So thank you.
Now pass me the Butter. This Friday Viral Radio is proud to present the Dutch release of the new album ‘Butter’ of one of the most impressive young producers in the field of gravity defying electronic music: Hudson Mohawke. This half Amsterdammer of Glaswegian descent has been signed to Sheffield’s Warp Records, and is part of an international conspiracy of Scottish musicians. How else would you explain the succes of Hudson Mohawke, Rustie and Kode9, who play their video games backwards and microwave ’80s music to create the most idiosyncratic information bubbles we have ever heard?
So we hope you will come this Friday, and won’t tell us in the future how sorry you are you missed it. We still lie awake at night from what happened last time at the Bimhuis in May 2008 with Flying Lotus. Speaking of which, Lotus’ close friend Ras G is also on the line up. Ras is a key figure in the Brainfeeder camp in Los Angeles, and has been touring throughout Asia, Africa and Europe recently. We are very happy to have him at Viral Radio for a special live set.
Timetable:
20.30 – 22.30 CDR
22.30 – 00.00 Juha
00.00 – 01.00 Mamiko Motto
01.00 – 02.00 Ras G live
02.00 – 03.30 Hudson Mohawke live
03.30 – 05.00 Cinnaman

The Gaslamp Killer resisted arrest at Rush Hour record store in Amsterdam, while officer Cinnaman lurked in the back.
On Monday 20 July 2009, reported trouble maker William G. Killer was apprehended by local authorities at Rush Hour record store, a known viral radio ’cell’ within the beat dimension. The suspect was taken to the city’s red light district for further investigation today. The result will surface at 3voor12 and Red Bull Music Academy later today as a one hour enhanced interrogation technique (streamed online and available as podcast).

Viral Radio invited CDR to kick off the Viral Radio Festival 2009
The first night of the Viral Radio Festival 2009 was a modest, albeit incredibly inspiring, success. An intimate crowd of producers, DJs and family and friends visited the first CDR night at De Verdieping. Thanks to everyone for their support, and Gavin, Tony, Mamiko, Hudson Mohawke and Icarus for their involvement. We look forward to the next one, which will most likely take place in August.
The second day of the festival will take place at the Bimhuis tonight, with Icarus hailing from London and Melbourne to bring electronic music by the guidelines of the International Standards for Jungle Music: 175 BPM straight for 12 years now, engineering their hyperrhythmic speed beats with MAX/MSP like scientists at the CERN Hadron Collider. They will be joined by another electroacoustic duo from the UK, Furt. ‘One of the most blisteringly energetic and experimental partnerships over the past twenty years.’ (The Guardian). In the cafe around the concerts we will hear Mrs. Mohawke herself, the ubiquitous Mamiko Motto (Samurai FM/Kindred Spirits).
Mind you, readers of our site get a 5 euro discount tonight. Just comment to this post with your name and correct e-mail address and we’ll put your name down.
As always, we look forward to seeing you tonight.

Air strike one. Tony on the alley.
UK clubnight CDR takes its successful innovative format overseas with the premiere of a new bi-monthly session at De Verdieping in the basement of TrouwAmsterdam. Joining CDR’s Tony Nwachukwu and Gavin Alexander will be local Dutch deejays and producers Cinnaman (Beat Dimensions/Viral Radio) and Juha (Viral Radio/Beat Dimensions), plus special guest Hudson Mohawke (LuckyMe/Warp) bringing his distinct head-moving electronics.
CDR’s open session invites music producers to bring their tracks along on CD, giving those in attendance the opportunity to hear works-in-progress. In addition the night will begin with a conversation with Hudson Mohawke and Cinnaman about their beat-making ways, plus tales from Tony and Gavin about CDR and the burntprogress story so far. Taking over the booth to close the occasion Beat Dimensions and Red Bull Music Academy alumni Hudson Mohawke and Cinnaman join forces showcasing their crowd-pleasing record selecting skills.
Building on CDR London and Midlands residencies (plus past nights in Paris, Berlin and Sydney!) these new Amsterdam sessions will begin a burntprogress partnership between the UK and Netherlands, with local musical artists crossing the North Sea to check out their neighbours. With free entry for all, get set to savour a taste of underground sounds like no other: crossing genres, changing tempos and inspiring all.
Furthermore, Hepcat Radio host Mamiko Motto will present the Friday artists of the Viral Radio Festival from 8-10 PM at Rooms of Redbull. She will play the best tracks of the CDR night, and host exclusive sets by the guests of the festival. The line up of the Viral Radio Festival consists of Daedelus, Hudson Mohawke, Icarus, Furt, Bullion, the Blessings, Cinnaman and Juha.
