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.
New release: Jonti’s debut album on Stones Throw is out. It was our dear friend the Gaslamp Killer that sent us an excited e-mail some months ago that we had to check out this guy that sounded like “if Dimlite were from Los Angeles”. Indeed, Jonti’s music will most likely be enjoyed by those who like Dimlite, Baths and Shlohmo.
Dimlite live at the Bimhuis in October 2008, with Mike Slott and Take. Dimlite will return to the Bimhuis this Saturday with Julian Sartorius. Tell a friend. We look forward to seeing you there.
Dimlite «Roo (A dedication)» (by EhStrawLogy). Dimlite will play at the Bimhuis with Julian Sartorius this Saturday at 20.30.

Misel Quitno - Im Halbhohen Gras (Everest Records, 2007). Summer Sunday music from Dimlite.
Best of 2010. Dimlite ‘Elbow Flood’. The maddening beauty of a reluctant musician, the imagined artist in residence of North Sea Jazz 2040. My favourite performer of 2011.
