We are a little late to the party, but you seem to not mind. Tonight is the kickoff of Amsterdam Dance Event. We thought we would do a special Viral Radio. Since we could not make up our minds, we picked a few artists more than usual. Here we go:
22.00 Pete Concrete (Eat Concrete/Den Bosch)
23:00 Knalpot live (Eat Concrete/Amsterdam)
23:45 Aardvarck (Bloom/Amsterdam)
00:00 Bibio live (Warp/Birmingham)
00:45 Aardvarck (Bloom/Amsterdam)
01:00 Clark live (Warp/Berlin)
01:45 Gaslamp Killer (Brainfeeder/Los Angeles)
02.45 Martyn (3024/Washington)
03.45 Juha & Cinnaman (Viral Radio/Amsterdam)
The timetable should be a little bit like this, but you never know how things go in the end. The event will most likely sell out, and there are only 50 tickets left at the door. So make sure you buy your ticket at Concerto or Rush Hour now you still can.
We look forward to seeing you tonight. To get in the mood, listen to our latest shows on VPRO 3voor12 (or download them at Soundcloud).

A quick reminder for you around Amsterdam. Today the outdoor festival Appelsap takes place in the Oosterpark in Amsterdam. International artists Pharoah Monch, Benji B and Theophilus London are joined by locals Zwart Licht, FS Green, and many more. After that, Viral Radio will host a room at Hotel Arena during the Appelsap afterparty. Juha and Cinnaman will be joined by their good friend Hudson Mohawke, from Luckyme and Warp.
More information on the festival and afterparty can be found at their website.

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.

Tickets are 5 euros on Wednesday (but free if you bring beats), 15 on Thursday, and 12 on Friday. If you send an enthusiastic e-mail to info at viralradio dot net with, your ticket on Thursday will only be 10 euros.

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?

De documentaire Bassweight van Suridh Hassan, die op vrijdag 4 juli in Melkweg Cinema vertoond wordt, biedt een uniek beeld op één van de spannendste opkomende dancestromingen: dubstep. 5 days off heeft wereldwijd de eerste vertoning van de eerste volwaardige documentaire over dubstep, waarin diepte-interviews te zien zijn met alle belangrijke artiesten in het veld: van Skream en Benga tot Kode 9, Plastician en BBC1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs. Ook zijn er beelden opgenomen tijdens een eerdere editie van Sonic Warfare in de Melkweg. Aansluitend Q&A met de regisseur en producent onder leiding van Juha van ‘t Zelfde (Viral Radio).

Moritz von Oswald Trio op het Viral Radio Festival in het Bimhuis (foto: René Passet)
Met de sluiting van 11 hebben we op het laatste nippertje nog het Viral Radio Festival kunnen organiseren. Zowel het Bimhuis als 11 was voor een maandag goed bezocht. Foto’s zijn onder meer hier en hier te zien. Recensies staan hier en hier. De artiesten zijn allemaal te vinden via Last FM en MySpace, maar Cinnaman en Juha zullen ze ook blijven draaien in de komende Viral Radio’s.
Zij die er geweest zijn willen we bedanken voor hun komst. De rest hopen we gauw tegen te komen bij de volgende feestjes en concerten.
