Suara.com – Music label Didi Music has a cool music show called Get Closer. Special in early 2023, Get Closer features famous rock bands in Indonesia /rif.
Get Closer actually started a year ago. The names of musicians who have performed here include Kuburan, For Revenge, 510, Jeruji, and others. But after that, Get Closer was in suspended animation for almost a year.
In early 2023, Didi Music seems to want to revive this event and /rif was chosen as the opening act for 2023. The /rif edition of Get Closer can be enjoyed via YouTube Didi Music since January 28, 2023.
“Apart from legends in terms of figures and songs, when progressive rock is arranged with an orchestra, it will be an interesting and beautiful performance,” said Adjie “Dygta” as A&R of Didi Music Records, in a statement received by Suara.com.

/rif himself presented several lists of great songs such as “Aku Want”, “Loe Toe Ye”, “Flowers”, “Wrong Department” and finally the single “Radja” which brought /rif to become one of the rock bands that began to be reckoned with.
Enjoying /rif songs on Get Closer does give a different nuance and color from the rock band from Bandung. Even though the songs were sung with acoustics and an orchestral mix, the rock color of /rif itself didn’t fade at all. The highlight, of course, was when Andi (vocals), Jikun (guitar), Ovie (guitar), Maggi (drums), and Teddy (bass) performed the song “Radja”, which felt different from its original color.
“Get Closer with /rif is the first dish to return after falling asleep for quite a while. We at Didi Music Records hope that Get Closer with /rif can cure the longing of music lovers, especially fans of /rif himself. After /rif Get Closer will present musicians another to appear,” said Adjie “Dygta”.
