The Listening Club - 11th January 2026

Greetings folks,

Hope you're doing okay. Pretty damn frosty here in Amsterdam, lowest temperatures we've had for a good few years, which, along with intermittent snowstorms, is keeping most folks inside unless necessary. City seems to be dealing with it okay despite some reports to the contrary in the press, but when it's icy, you can never have enough grit and salt, I guess... 

Last Sunday saw us usher out 2025 and welcome in the new year the only way we know how, which is, of course, with a #festivevortex, and this year's stayed true to form, stretching out wide in both style and tempo. Thanks to everyone who chipped in a tune or two and to @kleptones for stitching it all together.

Back in regular programming land, we find @aqidrago with the frisb, and this to say by way of introduction to the first #LC pick of 2026...

"It’s been an odd year for me. A break up, a move back to my childhood roots, a new job.

I am still finding my self again and slowly coming up to re-join what I love.

So a good time to delve into some nostalgic tunes, of a band with decades of success.

I’m presenting you with a recent Live album of new songs from 2023 and some quite well known ones.

This album won’t, for most of you, not stay a mystery for long, as the beat and voice are quite recognizable.

I invite you to join me on a dark, electronic, and soulful vibe ride to celebrate this band.

For drinking club, choose something equally complex and classic fitting the mood."

Right then, download's here and the stream is below:

See you 20:00 GMT later today.
