Queen Victoria Gardens

A revered selector from Tokyo takes to the decks to help close out Closing Night 

As Season 11 closes, drinks will flow while three sonic explorers set the tone — shifting from ambient jazz to soul-inflected grooves and deep cosmic cuts. Suupaa will bring the snacks, serving up their take on Japanese konbini culture as night falls under Tadao Ando’s pavilion.

After an immersive stretch of improvised ambience from Albrecht La’Brooy x Corey Kikos and a soul-inflected party set from Singapore’s RAH, we’re handing the decks over to the legendary Chee Shimizu.

Chee was one of the first DJs in Japan to introduce experimental disco, Italo, cosmic and leftfield sounds to the country’s dancefloors through his Discosession parties. He’s been the owner and operator of Organic Music record store since 2008 as well as 17853 Records label since 2015. He has a discerning ear and open heart who’s booked slots with Dekmantel Selectors, Berlin Atonal and Sound Metaphors, just to name a few. Eclectic and electric. A fitting way to farewell the season.
