Event update: Radiant Frequencies, 4 & 5 November, the Hague.
New genres of electronic dance music follow each other like night follows day. Shifting slowly from one mutation to the next, this electronic momentum moves forward with the speed of the internet, weaving a network of rhythmnodes of varying speeds and colours. From the darkness of dubstep to the lightness of UK funky. From the slowness of hiphop to the uptempo of juke.
Radiant Frequencies is a festival exhibition of cutting-edge musicians building bright synthetic structures of radiating dance music. This the soundtrack of the world of high definition gaming, 3D superheroes and superliminal neutrinos. And with zeitgeist-riders like Rustie, Kuedo and Dorian Concept, it is a who-is-who of the now.
Programme:
Plaid (WARP/Sheffield)
Rustie (WARP/London)
Dorian Concept (Rush Hour/Vienna)
Kuedo (Planet Mu/Berlin)
Tropics (Planet Mu/London)
Martyn (3024/Washington)
Comfort Fit (Berlin)
Juha (Viral Radio/Amsterdam)
Tonight from 10-11 PM is the 4th edition of Viral Radio at Red Light Radio. This time with a special about the forthcoming Rewire Festival, and our Radiant Frequencies programme with Rustie, Kuedo, Martyn, Tropics, Dorian Concept, Comfort Fit and Juha.

Free download: Oneohtrix Point Never ‘Replica’ (Software, 2011).
“Replica, the latest full-length from Oneohtrix Point Never, is based on lo-fi audio sourced from television advertisement compilations. So far, so Oneohtrix.” FACT Magazine
Total recall: Dabrye ‘Two/Three’ (Ghostly, 2006). Dabrye is one of the originators of early 21st century rap and beat futurism. His Two/Three album paved the way for the likes of Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke and Rustie. Dabrye has been on top of our wishlist for years now, and we hope he will make it over to Amsterdam one day.
“Dabrye’s production containing (…) a range and innovation that far outstrips anything else around.” The Guardian
“This is pretty much how you imagined rap would sound in 2006.” FACT magazine
New release: Björk ‘Biophilia’ (One Little Indian, 2011).
Now available on Spotify.
New release: Om Unit ‘Transport EP’ (Civil Music, 2011).
FACT magazine highlights Rewire Festival, in which Viral Radio participates on 4 and 5 November in the Hague:
“The festival takes place in and around unusual venues in the heart of the city – examples offered by the press release include former office buildings, a church and an old powerplant. As well as live performances, Rewire will also be hosting contemporary art exhibitions, cinema, artist talks and lectures, many of which centre around the festival’s chosen themes of classical music and the influence of ’60s psychedelica in today’s electronic music.”

New artist: Zelyan ‘Wolkenbügel’.
31st century architecture fiction.
Total recall: Lorn ‘Nothing Else’ (Brainfeeder, 2010). Remember how this man practically came out of nowhere with his Paul Verhoeven beats? Dark metallic grindtronica. If you missed him, please give him a chance on Spotify or Soundcloud. The BBC seemed to enjoy him too: “Alluring emissions from the darker corners of contemporary electronica.” Total Recall, I am telling you.
Free download: new Gonjasufi “EATFISH” feat. Blu. “Be rich, eat fish, and die.” Welcome back Sumach.
Will speaks to Ford Models Fashion. Step aside DKNY, hello GLKLA…
