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
The fifth show from the people that brought you the previous four shows.

Every first Friday of the month Viral Radio takes over Trouw Amsterdam. After the Brainfeeder takeover of yesterday, with a vicious Gaslamp Killer, a Doggpound-meets-Nintendo Samiyam and a the new-and-improved-never-going-under-150-BPM Flying Lotus, it is time for two signature producers and outstanding bass music innovators: Joker and Coki. The former is a 19 year old from Bristol whose music is released by genre-defying label Hyperdub, the latter the architect of multiple mutations of dubstep’s identity. Both have earned their credentials as unique individuals in the recent English experimental bass music scene.
We look forward to their coming, joined by DMZ host MC Sgt. Pokes. And we hope to greet you next month at Trouw.

Despite the fact almost everyone at Trouw last night was there for Warp prodigy and Amsterdam favourite Flying Lotus, it is fair to state that there was one man who deserves the credit for the massacre on the dance floor: the mother%*&^#@ Gaslamp Killer. Samiyam and Flying Lotus played diverse sets of electricity-laden broken beats of varying speeds and moods, while Viral Radio residents Cinnaman and Juha added agility and depth with abstract dubstep and hyped up speedbeats. Have a look at the 21 videos on YouTube, and these pictures taken by Rosa Koolhoven on Flickr and relive the agony.
Thank you very much Brainfeeder family – Flying Lotus, Samiyam and the Gaslamp Killer – for making this epic. Thanks everyone for your support, we hope to see you next month at the next Viral Radio with Joker and Coki.
