A stomping frenzy

English Mapsadasaical blogger and Resonance FM presenter Scott McMillan visited Amsterdam last week for the World Minimal Music Festival at the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, and took the time to join us for Viral Radio on Friday night. He wrote a lovely review that makes every Amsterdammer happy to live here:
“I arrived in time to catch Juha (one of the people behind Non-Fiction) behind the decks with fellow Viral Radio promoter Cinnaman. At least I think I did; it was so deliciously dark in there that it took me a good few minutes even to locate the DJs, even from just a few feet away. It was immediately obvious where they had (rightly) spent a huge part of their money: a state-of-the-art sound system. A selection of woozy beats were emanating from the speakers, building through dubstep to some chaotic Autechre-ish techno that totally left-footed the brave souls attempting to dance. After we were well and truly warmed up, the silhouette of Clark appeared in front of a projection which looked like a poster for the film Vertigo to dispense a spiralling set of rhythms. He began with splinters of the title track from his new Growl’s Garden EP, gradually turning up the volume and the tempo until Trouw was a stomping frenzy – by the close the bpm count had been pushed well into whatever is beyond the red. I realised then that I probably don’t do this sort of thing often enough back home – but where are the London clubs as well-designed, cutting edge, unpretentious and downright friendly as Trouw back home? I’m afraid I just don’t know any more.”
