About Me

VERSION EXCURSION IS AN EVENT CONCEPT CREATED BY DJ RICHIO SUZUKI , A DJ WHO IN 20 YEARS HAS PLAYED IN MANY AREAS OF DANCE MUSIC AND HAS GREAT MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE AND OF COURSE A MASSIVE COLLECTION OF COVER VERSIONS.
THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE. A WHOLE NIGHT OF STRICTLY COVER VERSIONS, STRICTLY ON VINYL, AND STRICTLY ON THE FUNK, SOUL, JAZZ, LATIN,DISCO AND REGGAE TIP. BUT THE SONGS COULD BE ROCK, POP OR INDIE AS WELL AS NEW AND OLD COVERS OF FUNK AND SOUL ETC.
THE NIGHT SUPPORTS KEEPING VINYL ALIVE SOMETHING CLOSE TO RICHIO'S BELIEVES!
