This second evening of Closer Music 2026 promises a captivating journey across musical boundaries.
feeo opens the programme with her unique blend of drone, ambient and minimalist electronic music. For her first performance in France, she presents her recent album Goodness (2025).
Lol K, a London-based duo composed of CJ Calderwood (member of Good Sad Happy Bad) and Junior XL, offers a bold and multifaceted set. Their highly varied production spans post-classical, grunge and contemporary club music, creating a surprising universe.
V/Z (Valentina Magaletti & Zongamin) then takes over with a performance where hypnotic percussion and vocal samples create a hallucinatory universe. Inspired by dub and post-punk, their album Suono Assente (2024) reveals a dialogue between fragmented memories and sonic reveries, where each track seems to suspend time.
To close the evening, DJ DIE SOON, a Japanese artist based in Berlin, offers an intense and haunting set. Conceived as true sound rituals, his performances blend distorted dub, noise and abrasive rhythms, evoking the chaos and density of Tokyo's metropolitan soundscape. His recent productions transform the dancefloor into a space for dancing and collective gathering, ideal for concluding this 8th edition with a final burst of shared energy.
Formed through studio sessions in East London, the duo explores a shared musical ground rooted in dub and post-punk, where driving rhythms, shifting basslines and electronic textures unfold with a strong sense of freedom and experimentation.
A key figure in contemporary experimental music, Valentina Magaletti is known for her distinctive percussion work—combining drums, vibraphone and found objects—and for her collaborations with projects such as Vanishing Twin and Moin. Zongamin brings a rich, textural sensibility informed by dub, funk and electronic music. Together, V/Z craft a sound that is both physical and immersive, where post-punk intensity meets hypnotic, evolving soundscapes.
Their sophomore album Languid Haunt the Trees, released in December 2025, continues their exploration of experimental South London nightclub sounds. The duo transforms textures typically associated with dancefloors into dark acoustic and orchestral compositions, creating a singular atmosphere haunted by omens and nocturnal energies.
In live performance, Lol K deconstructs and reinvents their recorded material, challenging traditional structures, melodies, and genres. Acoustic and electronic instruments intertwine and warp to create dreamlike, immersive compositions, where unexpected hooks coexist with deep, contemplative textures.
Her debut album, Goodness (AD 93, 2025), unfolds an impressionistic sound world blending drone, ambient, experimental electronics, improvisation, and minimal dance. Illuminated by striking voices and a distinctive poetic sensibility, the album explores tensions between solitude and communion, urban and natural spaces, light and darkness. Each track acts as a sketch, offering a glimpse into a continuously evolving universe.
Alongside feeo, Theodora Laird collaborates in the duo Crosspiece with bassist Caius Williams and participates in the GRAIN Residency, devoted to improvised and experimental music. Her musical writing draws on improvisation and phonetic exploration, creating a language that is at once intimate and radical.
Drawing inspiration from horror imagery, manga, demon figures and the darker edges of Japanese culture, his practice spans music production, DJing and illustration.
His sound is built from distorted basslines, ghostly glitches and industrial textures, forming intense and immersive compositions. In live performances, DJ Die Soon creates ritual-like experiences where warped dub, noise and abrasive rhythms collide, echoing the chaos and density of Tokyo’s metropolitan soundscape.
His latest release, My Brothel The Wind, features collaborations with Sara Persico, Rully Shabara and longtime collaborator Kiki Hitomi, further developing a radical and expressive musical language.
