Delusion @ The Attic, Swansea

Sun 6 May

Picture the scene: it’s a bank holiday weekend and the west coast of Wales is basking in a swathes of glorious sunshine. It’s pushing 20 degrees, but the gentle kiss of a cool breeze sweeping in from the Atlantic keeps you from overheating. A satisfying, but not too heavy, lunch and a disco nap later you slip on your glad rags and a ready to bust a move to town to take in some banging tops-off trance, the sort of which Swansea has always been mad for. Well readers, if that doesn’t sound like your idea of bank holiday bliss you’re probably reading the wrong magazine.

In a world of trance dominated by spiky-haired Dutch big guns, Jordan Suckley has managed to make quite the mark on the unrelentingly massive scene. He’s held a Radio 1 residency, and his own productions have popped up on all the ususal suspects – Spinnin’, Armada, Vandit – you know the score. His own record label, Damaged, has also been a fixture on the upper echelons of the digital download charts.

This represents something of a homecoming for Suckley – while he hails from Liverpool, it was while studying business at Swansea University that he won a competition to land a DJ slot at Cream. Give him the hero’s welcome he merits.
