Viral Radio presents Hyperrhythm at North Sea Jazz
After weeks of secretiveness and diplomacy, the moment has come that we can finally announce our programme for the North Sea Jazz Festival 2010. The festival is widely acknowledged as the one of the biggest jazz festivals in the world, and has a strong reputation for showcasing many different areas of jazz and improvised music from all eras. Viral Radio is outlandishly honoured to host its own stage.
From the press release:
In the past few years in various cities around the world, scenes of musicians have popped up with a heightened interest in complex rhythmstructures of changing speeds and intensities. These hyperrhythms are created by producers who have grown up in an ocean of sound of ubiquitous media, from computer games to iPhones, and who are connected through a myriad of online networks. More than once, these producers know the hardware and software better than their developers, mutating into architects of complex, gravity-defying structures.
Cities as Los Angeles, Glasgow and London are their main protagonists, with labels as Brainfeeder, LuckyMe and Warp. In Amsterdam, Viral Radio has been active as a vehicle for the dissemination of these new electronic musics since 2007, with regular programmes at Trouw and the Bimhuis.
Programme:
Dimlite (CH)
Hudson Mohawke (UK)
Dorian Concept (AU)
Mike Slott (IRE)
We hope to see you all there, and look forward to an incredible evening.

We look forward to seeing you tonight.

Pass me the butter
Viral Radio has had an incredible run of events in the last month, with a sold out Amsterdam Dance Event pandemonium and a roadtrip to Nijmegen with Gaslamp Killer and Nosaj Thing. We are very grateful for all these musicians playing at our events, and very fortunate to have such a following (i.e. you) to make this all happen. So thank you.
Now pass me the Butter. This Friday Viral Radio is proud to present the Dutch release of the new album ‘Butter’ of one of the most impressive young producers in the field of gravity defying electronic music: Hudson Mohawke. This half Amsterdammer of Glaswegian descent has been signed to Sheffield’s Warp Records, and is part of an international conspiracy of Scottish musicians. How else would you explain the succes of Hudson Mohawke, Rustie and Kode9, who play their video games backwards and microwave ’80s music to create the most idiosyncratic information bubbles we have ever heard?
So we hope you will come this Friday, and won’t tell us in the future how sorry you are you missed it. We still lie awake at night from what happened last time at the Bimhuis in May 2008 with Flying Lotus. Speaking of which, Lotus’ close friend Ras G is also on the line up. Ras is a key figure in the Brainfeeder camp in Los Angeles, and has been touring throughout Asia, Africa and Europe recently. We are very happy to have him at Viral Radio for a special live set.
Timetable:
20.30 – 22.30 CDR
22.30 – 00.00 Juha
00.00 – 01.00 Mamiko Motto
01.00 – 02.00 Ras G live
02.00 – 03.30 Hudson Mohawke live
03.30 – 05.00 Cinnaman
