Flying Lotus at a crowded Viral Radio event in Trouw last spring

In our festival special from this week (see post below), there was one we actually missed – and deserves some extra attention now. The Viral Radio Festival next week is initiated by Juha and Cinnaman, who also present the bimonthly Viral Radio(show) on 3voor12, and is focused on experimental electronic music, beats & beyond. Due to a lack of time, here some more about the festival, quoted from Ju himself: “After the first edition in June 2008, that took place on one night at the Bimhuis and 11, we have grown to three venues in three nights. On Wednesday1 July we will have a CD-R night with Hudson Mohawke, Cinnaman, Icarus and Gavin and Tony from London. Bring your own beats and get feedback from the pros. On Thursday we will have Icarus, Furt and Mamiko Motto at the wonderful Bimhuis. And on Friday, the grand finale of the festival will take place with Daedelus, Hudson Mohawke, Bullion, the Blessings, and Juha & Cinnaman.” That’s quite a line-up, so be sure to visit these three special venues in Amsterdam. If you can’t make it, then be there in spirit by listening to some related music:

Viral Radio Podcast – the bimonthly show by Juha and Cinnaman

Hepcat Radio – the alsmost weekly show by Mamiko Motto on Samurai.FM, with guests like HudMo & James Pants
