What’s on the Viral Radio radar

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.
Stagga on MySpace

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.

Viral Radio Festival Day 1: CDR at De Verdieping

CDR

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.



About Viral Radio
What started as a dubstep programme on Dutch public radio station Lijn5 (NPS) late in 2006, has evolved into a network of music events in clubs, online and some time soon in print. This has culminated in a festival in June 2008, that marked the only collaboration between 11 and the Bimhuis in their combined histories.

Viral Radio acts as transmitter of experimental beats and bass music, creating an autonomous network of carriers of all kinds of mutations of electronic music, from dubstep to wonky, and from hyperdub to aquacrunk. Viral Radio on 3voor12 will be presented by Juha in collaboration with Yuri Boselie (Cinnaman), with the inaudible infection by Michiel. A monthly club night will start on 6 March at Trouw, every first Friday of the month. The Viral Radio logo has been designed by Vincent van de Waal.
