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.

Air strike one. Tony on the alley.
UK clubnight CDR takes its successful innovative format overseas with the premiere of a new bi-monthly session at De Verdieping in the basement of TrouwAmsterdam. Joining CDR’s Tony Nwachukwu and Gavin Alexander will be local Dutch deejays and producers Cinnaman (Beat Dimensions/Viral Radio) and Juha (Viral Radio/Beat Dimensions), plus special guest Hudson Mohawke (LuckyMe/Warp) bringing his distinct head-moving electronics.
CDR’s open session invites music producers to bring their tracks along on CD, giving those in attendance the opportunity to hear works-in-progress. In addition the night will begin with a conversation with Hudson Mohawke and Cinnaman about their beat-making ways, plus tales from Tony and Gavin about CDR and the burntprogress story so far. Taking over the booth to close the occasion Beat Dimensions and Red Bull Music Academy alumni Hudson Mohawke and Cinnaman join forces showcasing their crowd-pleasing record selecting skills.
Building on CDR London and Midlands residencies (plus past nights in Paris, Berlin and Sydney!) these new Amsterdam sessions will begin a burntprogress partnership between the UK and Netherlands, with local musical artists crossing the North Sea to check out their neighbours. With free entry for all, get set to savour a taste of underground sounds like no other: crossing genres, changing tempos and inspiring all.
Furthermore, Hepcat Radio host Mamiko Motto will present the Friday artists of the Viral Radio Festival from 8-10 PM at Rooms of Redbull. She will play the best tracks of the CDR night, and host exclusive sets by the guests of the festival. The line up of the Viral Radio Festival consists of Daedelus, Hudson Mohawke, Icarus, Furt, Bullion, the Blessings, Cinnaman and Juha.

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

Met de sluiting van 11 hebben we op het laatste nippertje nog het Viral Radio Festival kunnen organiseren. Zowel het Bimhuis als 11 was voor een maandag goed bezocht. Foto’s zijn onder meer hier en hier te zien. Recensies staan hier en hier. De artiesten zijn allemaal te vinden via Last FM en MySpace, maar Cinnaman en Juha zullen ze ook blijven draaien in de komende Viral Radio’s.
Zij die er geweest zijn willen we bedanken voor hun komst. De rest hopen we gauw tegen te komen bij de volgende feestjes en concerten.

Last FM is steeds belangrijker geworden voor de promotie van onze avonden en radioshows, en ook voor de interactieve met bezoekers, luisteraars en vrienden. Laat hier zien dat je maandag komt en word hier lid van de Bimhuisgroep. We stellen het zeer op prijs!

Op het laatste moment hebben we toch een afzegging: King Midas Sound heeft door het drukke schema helaas geen volwaardige show kunnen voorbereiden. Het spijt Kevin Martin ontzettend dat hij niet met Roger Robinson kan optreden. In plaats daarvan zal hij met zijn andere project The Bug komen, bijgestaan door Ricky Ranking (bekend van o.a. Roots Manuva). Dit zal gelijk een album release feestje worden van London Zoo, dat binnenkort op Ninja Tune verschijnt.
