It is the first Friday of the month and that means it is time for a walk in your operating system. Listen to the tingles of your tweets and to the rhythm of your RAM. It is time for Viral Radio, your friendly neighbourhood electronic music evangelist, inviting you to believe in the power of digital frequencies.
On this month’s edition we present two artists we have been following for years and years: Dimlite and Jamie Vex’d. Swiss born Dimlite (Dimitri Grimm, 1980) is a master of mosaic textures and imaginative drum patterns. He is one of the most admired artists of his generation and a distinguished performer. His concerts at the Bimhuis in 2008 and 2009 rank among the best given there in the past few years. Englishman Jamie Vex’d (Jamie Teasdale, 1979) has gained critical acclaim as experimental dubstep duo Vex’d. They released the album Degenerate on Planet Mu in 2005, a prescient example of forward thinking bass music. Jamie has released solo works that are closer related to the video game and science fiction cartoons aesthetic of Hudson Mohawke and Rustie. He has created the new avatar Kuedo, that will release its first tracks within weeks. It is already one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
Viral Radio is delighted to present these two gentlemen of artists at TrouwAmsterdam tonight. They are transformers of their time, musical androids from another galaxy. The evening starts at 22:30, and tickets are 12 euros. As always, Viral Radio hosts Juha and Cinnaman will play their music straight out of the package. We look forward to welcoming you.

Every month we will update you with what is currently on our radar. In the near future we will compile a playlist at nalden.net. Here are this month’s artists:
1. Kuedo
Probably the strongest debut of 2010. Vivid synthetic melodies, robotic drum patterns and haunting basslines. His new E.P. Starfox will be released on Planet Mu in March. Welcome home Jamie Vex’d.
2. Stagga
Is in the vivid magenta realm of Kuedo, James Blake and Slugabed. Combines a forceful rave energy with gravity defying frequency shifts. Involved with Berlin’s Sirius nights, together with Doshy.

3. Pixelord
Moscow producer with a strong video game aesthetic. There’s some Joker, some Rustie, and some Sonic the Hedgehog. And with Ol and Lapti, Moscow seems to be building a strong scene.

4. Baths
We don’t know much about this young man, but we were introduced to him by our good friend Matthew David of Leaving Records and Brainfeeder. His album ‘Baths’ has not been released yet, but will stir up the already rich electronic music scene in Los Angeles.

5. Loops Haunt
Another friendly introduction, this time by Ned Beckett of Little Big in Berlin. After Rustie, Hudson Mohawke and Kode9 he is another Scottish producer that is taking the world by storm. We wonder what is in their water. His much anticipated ‘Impact Omnihammer E.P’. has just been released on Black Acre. Loops Haunt will play alongside Rustie on Viral Radio in March.

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

We are a little late to the party, but you seem to not mind. Tonight is the kickoff of Amsterdam Dance Event. We thought we would do a special Viral Radio. Since we could not make up our minds, we picked a few artists more than usual. Here we go:
22.00 Pete Concrete (Eat Concrete/Den Bosch)
23:00 Knalpot live (Eat Concrete/Amsterdam)
23:45 Aardvarck (Bloom/Amsterdam)
00:00 Bibio live (Warp/Birmingham)
00:45 Aardvarck (Bloom/Amsterdam)
01:00 Clark live (Warp/Berlin)
01:45 Gaslamp Killer (Brainfeeder/Los Angeles)
02.45 Martyn (3024/Washington)
03.45 Juha & Cinnaman (Viral Radio/Amsterdam)
The timetable should be a little bit like this, but you never know how things go in the end. The event will most likely sell out, and there are only 50 tickets left at the door. So make sure you buy your ticket at Concerto or Rush Hour now you still can.
We look forward to seeing you tonight. To get in the mood, listen to our latest shows on VPRO 3voor12 (or download them at Soundcloud).

Mark Pritchard, aka Harmonic 313
According to Time Out Amsterdam, Viral Radio is ‘the most cutting-edge event in Amsterdam, hands down.’ The electronic music vehicle of Non-fiction’s Juha van ‘t Zelfde, in close harmony with DJ/producer/Beat Dimensions architect Cinnaman (Yuri Boselie), has been gathering momentum in 2009. The nights have featured lords of the underground Kode9 & the Spaceape, Flying Lotus and Joker, and many more in their slipstream.
The coming month, the carrier of freight train bass weight will present another stellar compendium of contemporary studio explorations:
02 October >> Harmonic 313 and Juha & Cinnaman
21 October >> Knalpot, Gaslamp Killer, Clark, Bibio, Martyn, Aardvarck, Pete Concrete and Juha & Cinnaman
06 November >> Hudson Mohawke, Lorn, Ras G and Juha & Cinnaman
We would like to thank the artists for their participation, TrouwAmsterdam for the inspiring collaboration, and you – the visitor and listener – for your support. We hope to see you tonight.
