First names Viral Radio Festival 2010 announced
Ras G, Darkstar and Knalpot are the first names we would like to announce for the third edition of the annual Viral Radio Festival. They will play live at the Bimhuis on Saturday 4 September.
The Viral Radio Festival is an annual celebration of live electronic music and DJ culture that takes place at the Bimhuis and TrouwAmsterdam, from turbo soul to hyperrhythm. Previous editions hosted such musicians as Kode9, Moritz von Oswald, Samiyam, Icarus, Hudson Mohawke, Daedelus and many more. This year the festival will take place from 2-4 September.

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.

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.
