Viral Radio

Why so serious?

Tonight the fourth Viral Radio will take place at Trouw Amsterdam. After Kode9 & the Spaceape, Clark, Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer and Samiyam, we now have the purple wow from Bristol: Joker. His music sounds like a game of rummikub between Timbaland and Da Dogg Pound on board Steve Zissou’s Belafonte.

Tickets are still available at the door for 10 euros. Come along, you are welcome.

Next Viral Radio with Joker and Coki

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.

Lukid

Something new, but perhaps not a bad idea: let’s drop names of artists we are currently listening too and working with before they appear on flyers or on the show. This is the first installment, and of course most of you will know the names we name. However, if you do not know them, then this is one good archive to find music of our age.

1. Dorian Concept – Bern
2. Samiyam – Los Angeles
3. Ras G – Los Angeles
4. The Gaslamp Killer – Los Angeles
5. Take – Los Angeles
6. Lukid – London

8. King Midas Sound – London
9. Jakes – Bristol
