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.

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.
