~Review: Satoshi Tomiie @ Sullivan Room~
wow. I have never been one to truly appreciate a skill of a DJ. As most of you know, I typically focus on the tracks played and how much fun I'm having....and leave it at that.
Tonight was different.
Satoshi is a master. There were times when I just chilled, listened, and anxiously waited for what he was going to do next. I just let the music and his talent take over.......incredible night 
An evening that really made me appreciate music on a different level.....brilliant.
Only saw like 2 people there that I knew, but the crowd was awesome. Really friendly, and everyone was digging the music. Around 4am and on some sketchies came from the woodworks and changed the vibe a bit (a few people getting tossed for extremely erratic behavior). But, all in all the vibe was awesome 
really enjoyed my night there.
Whoever opened was awesome as well....really ripped the place!
PS: Satoshi is really cool looking......
there you go

damnnn....how long did satoshi play for?
it's a residency, i'll catch him for sure on another night.
Hey guys, I passed through for few hours and left around 3am when my friend dragged me away. I really like the feel of the place since they remodeled it but I thought the visual guys take up a lot of space in that already cramped basement And WTF are those paintings on the walls??? The sound was phenomenal & that always makes up for any downsides & discomforts throughout the night for me. Music wise I felt sketchy about some of the mixing & few track choices but I had a lot fun dancing with my friends from DC. The tempo was excellent most of the time & picking up smoothly. I am just upset I haven't stayed until S&B got on decks. I really hope to see you guys next time I am there but that place is like a traffic cluster f*ck of people going back and forward to bar & bathrooms but thats a whole other rant. 
Anyway, it's really a great treat to have Satoshi hold a residency in NYC & I really don't care what venue he spins at as long he is here spinning in NYC on an appropriate sound system. I wonder who would he bring to guest DJ with him in the future?
Thanks for the Party S&B & Silverbull. 
Wow have not seen a Basic review in a long time! Way to bring it back, miss when there were good non trance reviews on boards! Satoshi is the man, for sure. I am really excited for the next addition of his residency, last night was a good set off. About the sketch, did not notice anything. The crowd is a little older then what trance brings, different style peeps but all bring a good vibe. There were smiles all around and everyone was moving, for me that is a good night. If I wasn't dancing since six pm I would have stayed longer lol. Thanks again, Basic, I know I can count on Sleepy and Boo for a solid Saturday night.

The crowd was one of the best i've seen in a while.....until about 4-4:30 a few new peeps came in (clearly from other parties) and were displaying some really erratic behavior.....not the usual sketch 
De-bo was busy for a while!! 
Will post full review at some point but for now I will say that he lived up to my expectations, and that he really is the Picasso of deejaying! Totally worth trekking to New York for..

See you in Detroit?
Thanks for the nice reviews everybody!!
I'm glad you all enjoyed Satoshi. He is truly one of our favorite DJs and the sets he lays down at Sullivan Room are absolutely stunning. He had a great time himself as he wrote on his facebook -- "Last night at Sullivan was above my expectation, played much later than normal nights. Thanks Sleepy & Boo, Serge and everybody came down"
Anyhow here are some pics we took. There's a bunch more on my facebook.

pissed I never made it, better make C2 this sat
Wow sully room looks nice def gonna go to the next party
And the story telling continues..
Everyone has their favourite deejays they'll travel the world just to see. Mine is Satoshi Tomiie.... After he performed for a minor 2 hours in Toronto back in January, I needed more of a fix. I still stand by and say that musically, those 2 hours were the best and most spiritual journey I've ever experienced. Then, his set was one of mystery and deceit, manipulating your thoughts when you close your eyes to confuse you with which portrayal of reality was real. Dark and melodic.. 2 Hours is not enough for a story teller such as Satoshi, and so, the story continues into an NYC chapter..
Sullivan Room as a venue was unexpectedly small, but impressive. I fell in love the second we came through the front entrance with no sign for the club, and went down the first flight of stairs, where above rested a painting of a blue goddess with a white mask. I was intrigued and excited to see what the club actually looked like after we went in. I felt a good vibe super early on in the night when we arrived around 10:30. There was hardly anyone there, but I took the time to enjoy analyzing and appreciating the layout of the club. It was about the size of Footwork (a club in Toronto), but had more of an underground feeling about it. It was sugar coated artistically with bricks as the main theme/concept, with random fantasy images etched on the walls. The VIP area was off to the side and didn't take away from the room; the antique seating was pretty neat. The dance floor took up a majority of the club, with the deejay booth on an angle by the entrance. There were some other chill out rooms, but I found there was way too much going on in terms of decorating that I had to be drunk before I returned to them, haha. I especially loved the hidden dark boxed corners at the back of the club.. it looks particularly useful for patrons who can't deal and want to hide
The placed filled up rather quickly after 1:30. The crowd consisted of an older group, lots of great dancers and university people. All in the same sometimes. The energy circulating through the room was amazing.. Toronto lacks this kind of crowd most of the time. I'm pretty sure the majority of people knew who Satoshi was. There were a few 'dodgy' individuals, but these seemed to come after 4 am... which I found a coincidence, considering Satoshi brought up his set to a different level at that point exactly. I turned to Kelly at this point and told her: the freaks had finally come out!! They were harmless but fun to laugh with/look at.
The opening Basic NYC deejays played suitable for the room; sleazy, deep, new york house music. I rather enjoyed it, as it's more of a rarity to hear these kinds of sets for most of the big parties back home. They set the slower tone nicely once Satoshi came on.
At 1:30 I couldn't wait any longer, and the dragon himself finally went up to the booth. After his live recording from his last Sullivan set, my anticipation at this time was unbearable! The good sir lived up to expectations, and played a very solid set. It takes great expertise to play a story time set imo. Satoshi Tomiie's ability to tell one is an art. His story this time was more visual.. as he painted every track - the dancefloor his canvas. As the duration of his set lengthened, the picture became more clear, showcasing an image so mystical and exotic that you can't look directly at it. Why look, when you can dance? Dance to blend the colours of his sound, painting a bigger picture. His set was more tech influenced this time around, but his signature sound was not lacking. The dark melodies were always creeping every other track or so... taunting everyone. In the past I always found Satoshi to be a serious deejay, with minimal crowd interaction.. but this was not the case this time around. Lots of smiling, fun gestures, and smirks! He knew we were totally under his spell! Once 4 am hit and all the crazies came out.. Satoshi brought out the true nature of his sound. The music had stopped, and eerie bird noises could be heard.. I shivered for a second. From then on it, the majority of his tracks were deep, dark, and twisted mindfuck tunes. The canvas had come to life and was melting.. slowly... At 5:00 he started to bring it down, playing more of a funky old school sound.. back to the basics if you may!
We left when he got off the decks to socialize just before 5:30, completely satisfied. Bigups to Sullivan Room for making him a resident.. there is no mistaking his talent. Thank you Basic NYC
I look forward to seeing him in Stereo.
