It’s this week.

It’s Future Vintage’s Radna & Reinier and guests (DJ Faber! Orpheo! and maybe more) taking control of the upper room in the Chicago Social Club (Leidseplein 12). From 22.00-04.00.

It’s free.

Click attend and stay tuned for more info in the coming days.

Greetings,

Radna, Reinier

this week: Brussels, last summer: Zurich

Reinier — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:14:10 +0000

Future Vintage is touring again. This thursday we are invited by our friends of On Point to play at one of their On Point invites… nights at De Bonnefooi in Brussels. Looking forward to do a set together with Radna again, and Red Light Radio boss Orpheu is joining as well. It’s a full bill so who knows what else will happen… I think it’s going to be a very, very good one. If your down with the click, see you there.

Maybe you can remember we went to Zurich last summer for the International Radio Festival. For long I thought the only way to hear the show was live from 12 to 3 pm. Luckily, the show is on mixcloud now. I haven’t heard it yet myself, and I’m very curious how we sound (we just arrived from a sleepless 12 hr train ride). The result is below, when I find the playlist I will add it below. Enjoy.

Seeing Sounds (win tickets)

Radna — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:54:25 +0000

After an amazing Tuesday night last week with our friends from On-Point, we’re also organising some things in the city this weekend. As you might know I’m doing this filmnight called ‘Seeing Sounds‘ for a while now, a film night about music. Usually it’s in de Verdieping, but this week Off Centre invited me to make a night program full of my favorite music documentary bits, that will be screened both Friday & Saturday night at Melkweg Cinema. It’s just finished and features Derrick May, Kraftwerk, Timbaland, Herbie Hancock, Diplo, The Neptunes and many others.

Saturday we have a special edition of Seeing Sounds at the Muziekgebouw. As part of the Listen To This series, there’s a sideprogramme around the Frank Zappa concert, played by DoelenEnsemble. Before the concert there’s a documentary, and after Reinier, The Son of Invention & Maarten Rohaan will play Zappa inspired DJ sets. I’m looking forward, see the full program here.

Want to join us? We can give away 2 tickets for Zappa at Muziekgebouw. Leave a message to info@futurevintage.net – first come first served!

Friday: FV party @ Toko MC

Radna — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 10:41:03 +0000

Friday March 25th, for the second time the Future Vintage crew throws an intimate party at Toko MC. We’ll start the night with a live radioshow, to continue on the dancefloor with DJ’s Radna & Reinier and special guest Mamiko Motto (Hepcatradio) from London. No rules, no boundaries, but a friendly gathering of beautiful swimmers, musiclovers and selectors.

Mamiko Motto (Hepcatradio, London) is a true tastemaker, always on the forefront selecting new sounds for her DJ sets and radio shows. She travelled all over the world, collaborated with Samurai.FM, Dublab, and these days broadcasts live from London under the name of Hepcatradio – where artists like Funkineven, James Pants, Lone and Jackmaster visit her studio.

Radna & Reinier (Future Vintage, Amsterdam) are every week in charge of the Future Vintage radio show at Red Light Radio. But recently they also started DJing togther, having a mutual love for handclaps, steeldrums and do-it-yourself aesthetics.

Toko MC is the brand new bar/restaurant near MC Theater in Westerpark. After the succes of Toko 94 in Rotterdam, now Toko MC brings their modern take on Carribean cuisine & cocktails to Amsterdam.

Don’t be Dutch, and come early! RSVP on Facebook.

21.30 – 22.30 Recording Future Vintage Radio
22.30 – 03.00 DJ’s Mamiko Motto, Radna & Renier

Radna — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 09:21:58 +0000

It’s a busy week for the Future Vintage crew, not only do we have a show tonight, we’re also part of 2 nice events this week.

Thursday it’s time for Seeing Sounds, Radna’s monthly filmnight about music at de Verdieping / Trouw Amsterdam. This edition is all about African music. With the documentary ‘Music is the Weapon’ about legendary founder of afrobeat, Fela Kuti, but also a focus on modern African dance music from different countries, with videos and music presented by Asheru Al-Haag (L’Afrique Som Systeme / Collect & Curate) and Thomas Gesthuizen (Africanhiphop.com).
Febr 17th – 20.00-23.00 – de Verdieping – Wibautstraat 127, Amsterdam – €2,50

Friday it’s time for Future Vintage at the Van Gogh Museum. Radna & Reinier are playing records the whole Friday evening, while you also can check out the brand new Picasso exhibition ‘Picasso in Paris 1900-1907‘, special tours & dance performances. The exhibition shows Picasso discovering the cultural avant-garde in Paris, and we’ll probably play some avant-garde (pop) music from different cities, from the past & present.
Febr 18th – 18.30-22.00 – Van Gogh Museum – Paulus Potterstraat 7, Amsterdam – €14,- / Museumkaart = free

We’ll give away tickets for the Van Gogh Fridaynight in our show tonight, so make sure to listen at Red Light Radio from 20.00-21.00!

FV 018 – Live from Toko MC

Radna — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 15:43:53 +0000

We had a great time at our first Future Vintage party at Toko MC – thank you all for joining!

At the beginning of the night we made a radioshow on location, with a do-it-yourself set up. It was a nice experiment, and apart from the weekly show on Red Light Radio we’ll probably do more of this in the future.

Our special guest Stephen Serrato talked about his musical influences and designing record sleeves. Later that night he did a powerful set of LA based electro music – from a very early Dr. Dre to the Arabian Prince, and our small room turned into a party.

If you couldn’t make it: next month Reinier & Radna are DJing again, this time at a Friday night at the Van Gogh Museum, February 18th.

Future Vintage Party at Toko MC

Radna — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:52:22 +0000

By public demand: 21 JAN – Future Vintage at Toko MC

It’s finally happening, we’re throwing a party! For one night we bring the sounds of our radioshow to the intimate dancefloor of Toko MC. No rules, no boundaries, but a friendly gathering of beautiful swimmers, musiclovers and selectors.

Come around 21.30 if you want to be at the recording of the radio show, because after 22.30 it’s time for a proper party with DJ’s Stephen Serrato, Radna & Reinier until 03.00.

Stephen Serrato is mostly known as a graphic designer. Originally from Los Angeles, where he designed for labels such as Stones Throw and Plug Research, he now resides in Amsterdam. In Toko MC he’ll play as diverse as his hometown and his interests go.

Radna & Reinier are every week in charge of the Future Vintage radioshow at Red Light Radio. But recently they also start DJing togther, having a mutual love for handclaps, steeldrums, early dancehall and do-it-yourself aesthetics.

Toko MC is the brand new bar/restaurant near MC Theater in Westerpark. After the succes of Toko 94 in Rotterdam, now Toko MC brings their modern take on Carribean cuisine & cocktails to Amsterdam.

Future Vintage at Toko MC takes place in the small room behind the restaurant – where it will be dark and intimate and where’s as much sound allowed as we like.

Don’t miss, and invite your friends too!

RSVP on Facebook / Entrance €4,- / Polonceaukade 5 / Westerpark / Amsterdam

Seeing Sounds of Sun Ra

Radna — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 06:16:40 +0000

Pssst, just a little heads up about Seeing Sounds this thursday, since I think Future Vintage listeners will like this one especially. Seeing Sounds #4 is dedicated to the music and ideas of legendary jazz composer Sun Ra. Born on Saturn and known for his cosmic philosophy, the mythical Sun Ra touched the entire history of jazz, from swing music to electronic experiments. His film Space is the Place (1974) is an entertaining mix of blaxploitation, afro-futurism and avant-garde jazz, where Sun Ra saves Afro-Americans by transporting them outerspace through music. Max Cole, who in the past interviewed bandmembers of Sun Ra’s Intergalactic Myth-Science Solar Arkestra, gives an introduction and plays a selection of Sun Ra’s extensive music catalog.

“I’m here on the planet, you might say, for a mission. That means that I have to be careful what musicians I use.” – Sun Ra

“Black power and free jazz collided with the fashion sense of Superfly” – New York Times

Listen to this Sun Ra mix by Max Cole and 1.1. (DOWNLOAD here) check the program on Facebook, see the video, and come along!

This week: Sound(s) of the City

Radna — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:44:23 +0000

The next episode of Future Vintage will be recorded on a very special location. On december 11th, we move to Rotterdam to do a show in the NAI (Netherlands Architecture Institute) as part of the Sound(s) of the City programme. While you can check out the Open City exhibition, Sound(s) of the City is all about the way music is related to the architecture and atmosphere of specific cities. In our show we’ll explore music from Los Angeles, Detroit, Sao Paulo, London and ofcourse Rotterdam.

The programme:
15.00 – 17.00 Future Vintage recording with Melodee, Radna, & DJ Thelonious
17.00 – 19.00 Debate on the sound of Rotterdam + music
19.00 – 20.00 Bring your own records + DJ Thelonious (Strange Fruit)
Sound(s) of the city = Free entrance! Exhibition: €8,- / students €5,-

How do you think cities influence its music scenes? A big inspiration is the beautiful little video where Theo Parrish explains the sound of Detroit. And also La Melodia’s hommage to Amsterdam, check it out below. Requests for tracks that you relate to the mentioned cities are welcome, we hope to see you friday!

Dâm Funk is coming to Rotterdam

Radna — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 08:38:53 +0000

The Strange Fruit crew from Rotterdam is known for hosting intimate parties, with often a nice crowd of sweaty dancers. After inviting artists like Benji B, Little Dragon and Flying Lotus earlier this year, this time star of the night will be Dâm Funk. On the 10th of October he’ll be playing at Club zonder Consessies, as part of his European ‘Toeachizown’ tour. If you’re on Twitter, you really should follow Dâm, so you get updates about the set he did at the Guggenheim Museum and songs for download such as Afterglow Stroll.

To get in the mood for upcoming saturday, MRP & Nilez from Moovmnt made a ‘Damn…Funk?!’ mix – download and stream right here.

A preview of what to expect, Dâm Funk live at Boombox, Los Angeles:
