Ras G, Darkstar and Knalpot are the first names we would like to announce for the third edition of the annual Viral Radio Festival. They will play live at the Bimhuis on Saturday 4 September.
The Viral Radio Festival is an annual celebration of live electronic music and DJ culture that takes place at the Bimhuis and TrouwAmsterdam, from turbo soul to hyperrhythm. Previous editions hosted such musicians as Kode9, Moritz von Oswald, Samiyam, Icarus, Hudson Mohawke, Daedelus and many more. This year the festival will take place from 2-4 September.

Viral Radio invited CDR to kick off the Viral Radio Festival 2009
The first night of the Viral Radio Festival 2009 was a modest, albeit incredibly inspiring, success. An intimate crowd of producers, DJs and family and friends visited the first CDR night at De Verdieping. Thanks to everyone for their support, and Gavin, Tony, Mamiko, Hudson Mohawke and Icarus for their involvement. We look forward to the next one, which will most likely take place in August.
The second day of the festival will take place at the Bimhuis tonight, with Icarus hailing from London and Melbourne to bring electronic music by the guidelines of the International Standards for Jungle Music: 175 BPM straight for 12 years now, engineering their hyperrhythmic speed beats with MAX/MSP like scientists at the CERN Hadron Collider. They will be joined by another electroacoustic duo from the UK, Furt. ‘One of the most blisteringly energetic and experimental partnerships over the past twenty years.’ (The Guardian). In the cafe around the concerts we will hear Mrs. Mohawke herself, the ubiquitous Mamiko Motto (Samurai FM/Kindred Spirits).
Mind you, readers of our site get a 5 euro discount tonight. Just comment to this post with your name and correct e-mail address and we’ll put your name down.
As always, we look forward to seeing you tonight.

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