For the occasion of the Viral Radio Festival 2009, Juha was interviewed by 3voor12’s weekly show Dubbelcheck. He talks for 10 minutes about the upcoming festival, the international scene of beatmakers, and the role of Viral Radio. The interview is in Dutch. Have a listen here.
“Viral Radio staat bekend om de nieuwste experimentele elektronische muziek, dubstep, emotronic, aquacrunk en WARP-helden. Het platform brengt scenes uit Londen (met name dubstep en wonky), Glasgow (rond Rustie en Hudson Mohawke) en Los Angeles (rond Flying Lotus en Gaslamp Killer) bij elkaar en smeedt het langzaam tot één familie.” – Juha

Next week the second Viral Radio Festival will take place in Amsterdam. After the first edition in June 2008, that took place on one night at the Bimhuis and 11, we have grown to three venues in three nights. On Wednesday1 July we will have a CD-R night with Hudson Mohawke, Cinnaman, Icarus and Gavin and Tony from London. Bring your own beats and get feedback from the pros. On Thursday we will have Icarus, Furt and Mamiko Motto at the wonderful Bimhuis. And on Friday, the grand finale of the festival will take place with Daedelus, Hudson Mohawke, Bullion, the Blessings, and Juha & Cinnaman.
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.
As always, we look forward to seeing you at these nights, and we thank you for your support.

A surprise encounter between Alfred and Juha recently at the Lloyd Hotel
This is not an official Viral Radio event but since one of us is doing bits and pieces of live electronic music concerts here and there in Amsterdam, we thought you might be interested. And since you seemed to like the Brainfeeder attack last Friday, knowing that another artist from that Los Angeles pedigree is visiting Amsterdam hardly seems a burden.
Therefore we would like to invite you for this Wednesday at De Verdieping where two of the kindest people of electronic music will be performing live: Daedelus and Pierre Bastien. The former hails from Santa Monica, played bassoon and clarinet before solitarily enjoying rave music at a young age, and participating in the development of one of the sleekest music devices known to man, the Monome. The latter is a French composer, multi-instrumentalist and literature Phd from Rotterdam, idolised by Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and Icarus, who constructs his own landscapes of automated music machines, forming an orchestra of kinetic instruments.
Bastien will premier new work, while Daedelus will talk about the Monome. This event takes place in the underground basement of Trouw Amsterdam. Doors open at 8.30 PM, and admission is a mere 8 euros. Here are the links for Last FM and Facebook. We hope to see you there.

Sir Alfred John Cage Daedelus Darlington at SMART Project Space (photo: Nalden)
I would like to start with an apology to those whom I told this would not be a party. This was outrageous. On a Tuesday evening our two friends from Los Angeles Alfred and Kev dropped by with a bag full of beats and a box covered with lights. Daddy Kev and Daedelus made our brains tingle, in a place with a history of autopsy. “Don’t be dead bodies,” as Daedelus so cunningly put it.
SMART Project Space is situated in a former anatomic laboratory, and has recently opened as multidisciplinary arts space. Viral Radio has been asked to kick off the music programme, and we anticipate a wonderful continuation. Thanks to those who were there, we look forward to the museumnacht after party on 1 November.
What are your thoughts?
Update: here are some more pictures taken by Disney

On an average Tuesday in Amsterdam 2,055 bikes get stolen. This happened last Tuesday, and this will happen next Tuesday. What is different though on 21 October, is that the prolific Santa Monica producer and Ninja Tune progeny Daedelus will perform at SMART Project Space on the first Viral Radio event since the festival in June, at the Bimhuis and 11. Daedelus – real name Alfred Darlington – was so cordial to answer a few questions and give a top 11 of his current favourites.
Juha van ‘t Zelfde What do you think of the current crisis on Wall Street? Does this affect your work as a musician?
Daedelus The current crisis will have concequenses, but they may be strangely good: people always become more passionate about music during a recession; sales actually tend to increase. Also there is no retirement plan for musicians like myself so sadly no problem!
JZ What are your thoughts on the political campaigns of Democrats and Republicans? Would you write a song for either party?
D Haha! I did! It was very well recieved, check it out on Youtube under Obama Way so you can guess who I am voting for…
JZ If we would look at your music with Darwinian eyes, what makes it survive?
D Good will and constant evolution (the Darwinian answer); sitting still will get you eaten by another, always better to tell the story of moving on.
JZ Are you feeling a global power shift from West to East?
D Yes in fact, touring recently in China really opened my eyes to the changes underfoot. America is so difficult for culture, perhaps a wake up call is in order. All the US does is think of ideas. Perhaps we should reward these inovations.
JZ What can we expect from your Amsterdam show?
D It all depends on what you bring: want to party and we’ll party, want to cry and we’ll cry together. I think the same can be said from Daddy Kev except he is bring firepower! Maybe I’ll try so too.
JZ Thank you.
D Thank you, and best until!

Op 21 oktober aanstaande is de eerste Viral Radio avond in het nieuwe kunstencentrum Smart Project Space. Voor deze avond hebben we de Amerikaanse producer Daedelus (Ninja Tune) uitgenodigd, met zijn goede vriend Daddy Kev (Low End Theory). Cinnaman en Juha zullen in de buurt hun muziek draaien.
Dit is de eerste in wat een reeks avonden moet worden in SPS. Op maandag staat DNK daar, en in de toekomst zullen er ook meer films vertoond worden, en tentoonstellingen en performances georganiseerd worden. Amsterdam heeft een nieuwe bijzondere locatie erbij.
