Bass fiction and beat dimensions at the Bimhuis

To celebrate 1 year of Beat Dimensions concerts at the Bimhuis, we have invited three of our favourite musicians to perform live in Amsterdam. Kode9 & the Spaceape will demonstrate their Bass Fiction live set, a rhythmically desolate and sonically dense architecture of sub frequencies, whilst Dimlite will display yet again why he is a master of mosaic textures and imaginative drum patterns. Digikid Cinnaman and laureate Juha will play music from a not so distant future in the bar before, between and after the concerts.

Doors open around 11, and the concerts start at 11.30. We look forward to seeing you there.

In a period of just over a month, we have the privilege to present a staggering amount of our favourite musicians from every frequency imaginable. From the high-end sonic textures of Chris Clark to the tactile tectonics of Hyperdub messiah Kode9, and from the  Michel Gondryesque orchestre mécanique of Pierre Bastien to the this-is-what-the-internet-must-sound-like aesthetic of Oval.

Blinded by the fiction of an audio addiction

Although it has always been our intention to slowly and gradually open De Verdieping for the public, fate has begged us to differ. Tonight’s Viral Radio event has been ordered downstairs due to unforseen leaks in the walls upstairs.

This means that we would like to invite you to our opening night with Kode9 and the Spaceape tonight at 10 PM at De Verdieping at Wibautstraat 131 in Amsterdam. Doors open at 10 PM, and we advise you to come early, before midnight. We expect a full house since carriers of the Hyperdub virus are in great demand.

We look forward to welcoming you into our new site.
