You may have heard Cees aka Beer as the trumpet player in one of the Radical Radio Show’s lately. Last Radical he accompanied Mykur live during a dj set. This was a spontaneous action but worked so well that you will see him more often playing his trumpet next to Myrkur.

Beer got interested in this instrument at the unbelievable age of just one year. During high school he taught himself how to play the trumpet by playing in bands and listening to music of Miles Davis, Chat Baker and the Esbjorn Svensson Trio.

After high school he went to the conservatorium and he played in several big bands. For a long time he was interested in dub, reaggae and jungle. Around the year 2004 he went to a drum ‘n bass party of Noisia in Groningen and got introduced to dubstep in a small room upstairs.

So listening to Myrkurs radio show on Sub.fm one day at home, he picked up his trumpet and started to play along with the tunes. So after a while he contacted Myrkur and the rest is history. Since then Beer is a frequent guest on the Radical Radio show and will he be playing with Myrkur at the next LED in Utrecht.

Oh yeah, and if you text his name Cees with T9 on your mobile you get Beer, hence the alias.

Headhunter aka Tony Williams will be playing at the next Radical 16th of July 2010. This Bristol based producer started back in 1998 at the age of 17 with djing and producing drum and base. At the age of 21 he decided to stop because of the love for BMX riding. Around 2006 got back to producing by following a music technology course. Thats where he met Appleblim, Gatekeeper and Wedge. Around that time he started to make dubstep and he is now one of the UK’s most impressive dubstep producers.

Headhunter explores the many levels of dubstep working together with artists like Krypric Minds, F, Luke Envoy, DJ Unya and Modeselektor. Next to producing under the name Headhunter, Tony Williams is also producing under the name of Addison Groove widely known for his track ‘Footcrab’. Release on Loefah’s Swamp 81 label.

Last year the Radical website was a bit neglected. Sorry for that. That doesn’t mean we didn’t do anything! We were still throwing the party’s, Myrkur took care of the Radio show on Sub.fm and made lots of new tunes. Nika worked on the flyers and website. Maybe you’ve noticed that we changed the look a bit. New logo, new website, new flyers, new tunes, new new new!

Welcome to Radical 2010! We are looking forward to it!
Myrkur and Nika
