Concert Review: Rufus Du Sol Give Techno For The Soul
With Jesus poses abound, Rüfüs Du Sol played a Sold Out show to a crowd ready to feel enlightened. Over keys and synths that ascended their audience, they provided a concert experience that was 100% for the sensitive spirit that loves to dance. By the end of the night, it was no secret their key to power: hope.
Lyrics like, “I want to feel!” and “Free My Mind” looped over their songs like Oprah affirmations, of which the crowd received it as such. It was a unique experience seeing Terminal 5 packed to the nines with people wearing their most gregarious, fabulous wear to dance to music that bares the soul. Rüfüs Du Sol are an oddly spiritualist trio. They may not seem like it, on first sight, but their show brought out the fashion forward who feel soulfully behind. Ultimately, the Aussie trio create music that is for those that wonder whom else is seeking? Thus, their phrases/lyrics may seem like the basics of positivity, but the minute you choose to feel better about life, no matter what the cost, then you are choosing a rougher road.

Being hopeful is not easy because “hope” is the sentiment we most challenge within ourselves. Yet, we do not seek a higher sense of being and feeling, if we did not hope it was out there and we could achieve. Celebrating their most recent release, Solace, the entire show played to this theme, which was uniquely satisfying to the club domain. I always marvel at “the club” being a place for escapism, of which we, usually, try to escape what makes us feel unsafe and unwelcome. Unfortunately, our own life can give us these feelings, of which the club and Rüfüs Du Sol’s show became a safe space. People of all walks of life bathed in the vocals of lead singer, Tyrone Lindqvist, whose voice flowed like sun-kissed sand; dropping grains of hope through every verse.

If optimism could hug people, everyone would have felt its embrace in rhythms that were as heavy as a cloud. Even when baselines dropped by the ton, Rüfüs Du Sol s show never felt dark or seedy, which is a usual dynamic in EDM/ DJ shows. Yet, Rüfüs Du Sol are, ultimately, a dance group. This allows them an added freedom when building their artistry. Hence, with lighting that looked like Heaven was ablaze, the provided the truest reason we go out to dance; because we want our heart to stop feeling stuck.
