Viral Radio museumnacht special
After last night’s monster night with Hudson Mohawke and Ras G, Viral Radio continues its weekend space travels and goes one level deeper in De Verdieping during the Amsterdam museumnacht. A special afterparty from 12 to 5 with Hudson Mohawke, Mamiko Motto, and Juha & Cinnaman. Hudson Mo and Mamiko Mo both joined Cinnaman today in the studio for a new episode of Viral Radio on VPRO 3voor12.
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

Viral Radio presents Mala, Aardvarck, Sgt Pokes and CDR
A few months ago we asked our good friend Aardvarck, if he was given the chance to invite someone for Viral Radio, who he would choose. “Mala,” was his immediate answer, followed by an endless stream of unintelligible animal noises, “hoer” and “zijn we er al?” Mala will now play alongside Aardvarck, Cinnaman and Juha at the sixth Viral Radio event at TrouwAmsterdam. He will be joined by his friend, brother-from-another-mother and fellow demilitarized zone pacifist Sgt. Pokes.
In the evening, starting around 8 PM, Viral Radio will present the second CDR night. Adopted from London, the night is intended to create a social network, platform or hub for aspiring producers, avid supporters and kindred spirits who enjoy new ventures into electronic music. Hosted by Juha, Cinnaman and Mamiko Motto, a line of guests will be interviewed about their music practice, amongst whom Mr. Aardvarck himself. Visitors can bring their music on CDRs, which then will be played on our professional club soundsystem, while their names and track titles will be beamed on the wall.
CDR has been adopted by De Verdieping as a monthly night to share ideas and music. It has been transferred from the Wednesday to the Friday, to connect with Viral Radio and to benefit from the presence of international artists as Hudson Mohawke, Mala, Nosaj Thing, Harmonic 313, and all the others that come through the Viral Radio hub.
Viral Radio starts at 10.30 PM. Tickets are 12 euros, and are available at Rush Hour, online and at the door of TrouwAmsterdam. CDR starts at 8 PM. Tickets are 5 euros, but entrance is free of charge with a CDR of your music. Visitors of CDR can stay for Viral Radio without paying any more.

Viral Radio Festival Day 2: bleep bleep woooooosh
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.
