Viral Radio Festival Day 2: Darkstar
Darkstar (Hyperdub/London)
Emotive bass music that is as patient in its structure as it is imaginative in its texture.
“The sense you get is that the human, physical world has revolved ever so slightly out of reach. It’s heartbreakingly beautiful.” / The Guardian
“As their first long player, Darkstar have produced an album many bands with many more releases and experience under their belt can only dream of. Elegant, downbeat, breezy, sometimes melancholy and bleak, sometimes optimistic, ‘North’ will surprise many, a classic record for short days and long nights.” / Kode9

Who is coming to Viral Radio?
Not sure whether to write in Dutch or English anymore I opted for the latter. Tomorrow, Friday 6 March, we will have our first Viral Radio night at Trouw. Having witnessed the whole building process and having visited the first few nights, Yuri and I are both incredibly excited and a little bit humbled and proud of the fact that this is our new home.
We are interested to hear if you will join us tomorrow to see the return of Kode9 & the Spaceape at Viral Radio, after his incredible set last year at the festival in 11. If you are coming, drop us a comment below. See you tomorrow!
Yuri and Juha
