Closer is coming to Prague. This would be the first-time ever when Closer club from Kyiv and Wildt from Prague unite their forces in full and make a proper joint event on two dancefloors. Surely, we could not think of a better place for this than Ankali and Planeta Za.
Closer club became a very special place and a home for many people, both visitors and artists in Ukraine. After its opening, Closer started a totally new page of the Ukrainian electronic music scene and changed the game. Ten years ago they began their journey with only four residents, and over time their number has grown to sixteen. Each of them is an unique artist with a distinct approach, taste, and style. It’s been a while since each of them has evolved from a local artist into a mature and outstanding one, deserving to share their musical perspectives and skills with diverse audiences worldwide.
Wildt is a renowned tiny dance space and summer terrace in Prague, which during many years of existence was spreading the spirit of non-rushing minimal dance culture in the Czech Republic and featured Closer residents many times at their events. Sadly, Wildt had to close this year due to municipal railroad building plans.
If you read this poster correctly, you can see that Closer and Wildt are both radiating their unique ideas of how to dance, party, and appreciate music. Yet, when they come together, this radiance becomes irresistibly powerful, which means that those ideas are similar: caring and love on the dancefloor are the basic elements of the party.
Jana Ponura – the sun in armor. A brave little princess. Fragile yet persistent nature capable of staying true to herself despite whatever and whoever. Lobanov K. – a quiet genius. A laughing nerd. If a person could be described in musical terms, he would definitely be modular blues. Sasha Zlykh – the legend. Someone very special. Always chill yet a fountain of overflowing, slightly weird, and magnetic creative energy. And Timur Basha – the man with the soul of a boy, a rare grown-up who’s managed to keep the spontaneity, openness, and daring of a child. He is also a co-founder of Closer.
The event will start on Saturday night at 11 p.m. and probably finish on Sunday at 9 a.m. Closer is willing to not only bring a few of its residents but also their approach to making events: rethinking the space, making decorations, etc. We will publish the detailed schedule later, but we DO recommend coming early to gain the full experience of the night and a little discount.
