¬¬Before penning this review, I covered myself with excessive amounts of research on trance music and Tsuyoshi Suzuki. It strikes me in the head in a confronting way that how extensive music genres are and how much chuck of amazing artists I have been missing out.
And for the most part, are the collaborations and connections across the globe in trance music circuit, which was a realm I wasn’t familiar with.
After his Australia April shows were cancelled, finally the man is back. Tsuyoshi Suzuki from Japan, a world well-known electro/psychedelic trance musician. Tsuyoshi Suzuki fell in love with trance music back to the time when he was cruising and partying between Tokyo, Goa and Koh Phangan. In 1994, after moving to London, he found a record label named Matsuri Production with John Perloff set the home to many electro/trance musicians.
In lead up to his earnest involvements and contributions to trance music, his importance was affirmed when Issey Miyake, one of the most influential fashion designer, took him onboard for his 1997 catwalk in Paris. From there, Tsuyoshi continued on his solid productions till nowadays, and has become one of the central figures in psychedelic trance music.
Tsuyoshi Suzuki seemed to have profound love for Australia audiences by having repetitively made his returns back to the shore, excitingly including tonight! Tsuyoshi in cooperation with local talented trance musicians are waiting to blow your mind off.
Exactly, it was my virgin visit to Room680, where I believe a long list of national/international well respected electro artists have played before. Passing through the dark hallway before going up onto the open-air lounge space to the right, the structure seemed to me like a maze and quite unrealistic with impractical doors stood close along the wall. Straight up at front is the main room furnished with unreal-sized photo frame couches surrounded the dance floor, disco balls in different sizes hovering in the air.
Most impressive was a huge ball-like lamp wrapped around the centre by umbrella.
I passed through the entrance (which was not allowed to pass out until 2am) around 11:40pm and there were merely few arrivers scattering over each space. A gentle yet infectious set-in made by DJ Benza and Andrew Till who came right in and pumped the speaker for entire four hours non-stop, but I did not expect an enormous storm was about to explode off soon.
Once Tsuyoshi Suzuki was just walking around the room before this set, looked nice and relaxed and seconds later he was mixing and dynamiting the room up. Crowds erupted as he took the stage and DJ deck over, and then finished the previous track nicely from Andrew Till. Made a gesture to the crowds and threw his tracks straight in, Tsuyoshi Suzuki simply forced me to dance in the next two hours and I had nothing to fight against it, so did the crowds.
Prominent bass beats pound up between 130-150 BPM throughout the whole set and there was no one second of boredoms, exemplified his statement in an interview before “I spend so much time and effort to select my tracks”. For who has played at some of the biggest worldwide festivals including Berlin Love, Earthcore, Fuji Rock Festival etc., Tsuyoshi Suzuki easily dominated the room. When he finished off the last track, the crowds surged toward Tsuyoshi and tried to grab his hands firmly thanking him for the great music.
It was already 4am in the morning as Tsuyoshi handed the stage over to DJ Ozzy. Not as an occasional clubber, staying awake till 4am and two hours of full on dancing were enough to wear me down. I was half sleep and had my eyes closed even DJ Ozzy dropped down some fully amazing tracks in his set. But I realized I had to call it a night after someone came up to me asking if I had too much drugs.
Anyhow, hands down, Tsuyoshi Suzuki once again proved his ability to rock the crowds and his position in psychedelic trance. Thanks for the memorable night, and we will be waiting for your return, Tsuyoshi!
