Half Irish, half American, half Glaswegian Mike Slott will play live at Viral Radio on 5 March. Listen to his latest release on LuckyMe via the 3VOOR12 Luisterpaal.
For the occasion of the Viral Radio Festival 2009, Juha was interviewed by 3voor12’s weekly show Dubbelcheck. He talks for 10 minutes about the upcoming festival, the international scene of beatmakers, and the role of Viral Radio. The interview is in Dutch. Have a listen here.
“Viral Radio staat bekend om de nieuwste experimentele elektronische muziek, dubstep, emotronic, aquacrunk en WARP-helden. Het platform brengt scenes uit Londen (met name dubstep en wonky), Glasgow (rond Rustie en Hudson Mohawke) en Los Angeles (rond Flying Lotus en Gaslamp Killer) bij elkaar en smeedt het langzaam tot één familie.” – Juha

After Yuri’s prolonged vacation in the UK, Viral Radio was delayed for a week. Now we have returned with the fourth episode of our ongoing investigation of weight-shifting bass and balance-impeding beats. We have new music by producers Lorn, Mike Slott, Paul White, LL, Slugabed and Tiago. Regulars Hudon Mohawke, Ras G and Joker are also in there.
