Viral Radio, the Amsterdam based independent network for music futurism, is turning 5 years old this Saturday. Over these years, ‘the most cutting-edge event in Amsterdam’ (Time Out Amsterdam) has seen brain-tingling performances by a long thread of scifi contemporaries, from Flying Lotus, Kode9 and Hudson Mohawke, to Ben Frost, Colin Stetson and Stephen O’Malley.

Pleasantly haunting opening track of ‘Ravedeath, 1972,’ the new album by Tim Hecker that was recorded in Reykjavik in July 2010. 

“Hecker’s latest seems to ultimately be about making peace with our mortality, and as such is his most powerful album yet.” BBC

Tim Hecker will play live at Viral Radio at the Bimhuis on Sunday 1 May 2011. He will be joined by Australia’s Ben Frost, who also engineered Hecker’s album.

This is the first show on Red Bull Music Academy Radio. It marks the return of our show, that is in its fourth year now. In this time it has gone from the early stages of dubstep (Kode9, Digital Mystikz, Loefah), through experimental beat music (Flying Lotus, Dimlite, Hudson Mohawke) up to the point that every artist is his own genre. This is where we stand now, navigating the map of new developments in electronic music.
