Once again, it was a beautiful party at the Weetamix for the Festival de la Bâtie. Luciano opened the night with a nice minimal house dj set with a very good feeling. Losoul also made a very good performance with Malte : good lyrics & sounds in a relaxed way. The atmosphere was especially warm this night. But we were waiting for Closer Musik's live-act... We were waiting for this moment for one year ! As we missed them at Lethargy we couldn't wait anymore... And we weren't disappointed at all. With a very cheap equipment (two amiga's, one atari, one sampler, one guitar & one microphone), Dirk leyers & Matias Aguayo succeeded in making a very intense piece of music. One hour of pure pleasure. It sounded original, deep, minimal, hypnotising, powerful, between pop, house & techno. And these two generous guys are really touching : smiling and dancing, close to the audience... We could feel that they love what they do. We too !!
So, we can't wait for their next release on Kompakt label... and most of all, their next coming in Switzerland ! ;-)
