Live DJ sets

Consisting of the core creative duo of John Balance (formerly of Psychic TV) and Peter Christopherson (formerly of Throbbing Gristle), Coil emerged into the post-industrial era with a hunger for experimentation that was uncompromising and unparalleled. It led to a heaving discography covering ambient, neo folk, goth rock, and any strain of experimental music you could imagine. Their often otherworldly and beautiful creations explored fitting themes of the occult, dreams, drugs & sexuality. 

This In Focus is a two hour trip through the experimental universe of Coil.

La Rat steps up to the center circle with a collection of funk and soul-soaked loops and bars, soundtracks for a late night drive through a rainy city. The La Rat aesthetic weaves wider than a drunken cyclist on a busy gracht, delivering ripostes to the status quo across eight tracks, with nods to psych and blues, jazz and latin. The resulting beat collages then laid the foundations for a flurry of outer-limits raps, beamed in from the mind of a cut ‘n’ paste lyricist. The collaborative duo take inspiration from such varying sources as Georgia O’Keeffe, MC Hellshit and DJ Carhouse, Pauline Oliveros, and Rammellzee, and end up reclaiming a slice of hip-hop’s supercharged universe for themselves.

Joseph & Stefan b2b @ Casa - Act 1

Since 2012, A Closer Listen has claimed a specialized niche in the music industry: instrumental album reviews!  By concentrating on this above all else (singles, videos, concerts, interviews, lyric albums, announcements), we’ve built a healthy fanbase and a strong reputation.

If music is recorded and nobody listens, does it still make a sound?
