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.

Viral Radio, the cutting-edge platform for music futurism and ‘Amsterdam’s finest’ (The Gaslamp Killer), celebrates its 5th anniversary. This special edition connects two generations of electronically oriented producers. Since 1997 Finnish pioneer Vladislav Delay has been creating spine-tingling clouds of noise and intricately fragmented beats. London based boy-girl-duo Hype Williams lays a smoke screen with hypnotic samples of dated R&B and soul. With a new album on Hyperdub this ‘hyp-hop’ (The Wire) comfortably settles in alongside the post-dubstep of Kode9 and Burial.
Viral Radio is delighted to have been invited by ARCOmadrid and Dutch curator Xander Karskens for the afterARCO programme on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 February.
Dutch artist and Viral Radio regulars Knalpot, Machinefabriek and Juha will play live at Joy Eslava in the evenings, and on Friday a special radio broadcast will be made with artist Gabriel Lester, most of the musicians, and some other Dutch artists present at ARCOmadrid, hosted by Viral Radio founder Juha van ‘t Zelfde.
