Late Night Sessions is a broadcast on a Tuesday night as an alternative source of your electronic fix. If for some reason you can't make it out large on the town, kick back with some appropriately large speakers or 'phones and let the Closer Sound, fronted by Will 'messhead' Jenkins, show you what's what on the Dubstep and 'bass scene.

Each week the Closer Sound spin a live mix showcasing the very best of Rare talent. Periodically we also release a new volume of our Dubstep Journey's Mixtapes. Join the Closer Sound Facebook group to be kept up to date with those releases, and everything else.
