Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
Legendary electronic music artist Aphex Twin is performing at the Enmore Theatre in a Future Music sideshow. The fact that main man Richard James is still relevant in the dance music genre is tribute to his ground breaking style and aesthetic. See this awesome pioneer of ambient music that the UK’s Guardian newspaper described as ”the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music”.

Lightsounds sets a new standard for New Years Eve party production in Australia

Monday, January 16th, 2012

Lightsounds was the company behind two of Sydney’s more prestigious events this recent New Year’s eve, having produced the lighting and sound for Hed Kandi’s Glitter ball, and the $1000 per ticket Fort Denison Cocktail party. The Daily Telegraph had listed these two events as being high on the social calendar and essential places to be for NYE 2011, with uninterrupted views of the harbor and fireworks, along with stunning audio and entertainment lighting on show. Lightsounds Production Manager Ben Vickers pulled these two events together with a high degree of proficiency and professionalism ensuring that revelers would have an evening to remember.  

 

Hed Kandi’s Glitterball at Cruise Bar

With 5 bars split over 3 levels and floor to ceiling windows, Hed Kandi’s swanky Glitter Ball was sure to be a premium New Year’s Eve destination. There were 2 different parties to choose from, Level 1 & 2 featuring the Main Arena and Disco Revenge, and Level 3 the exclusive Players Penthouse. 3000 party-goers packed into the Crusie Bar and partied the night away to a slick line-up of local and overseas DJs and producers bringing anunforgettable experience to herald in 2012. An Audiocentre vertical line array was employed for the main stage area offering 26,000 watts of thumping yet pristine audio. Over 80m of trussing was used with 12 PR moving heads and an additional 60 lighting fixtures including full colour lasers and LED disco lights.

A comment from Hed Kandi’s promoter: 

“When planning our Sydney 2011 New Years Eve party, THE GLITTERBALL, we wanted it to be the biggest and best Hed Kandi party in Australia yet.  That’s why we contacted Lightsounds.

Production Manager Ben Vickers and the Lightsounds team delivered in a big way.  From concept to creation their attention to detail left nothing to chance.  Stunning lighting and truss structures combined with the blisteringly loud, yet clean and clear new Audiocentre Line Array made it an event to remember.  We could not be happier with the result.

For anyone looking for a higher standard in party production I have no hesitation in recommending Lightsounds to handle the job.”

Lightsounds E-mail Club monthly Giveaway [LED Moon + F80Z]

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012
 
For our Email Club January prize giveaway we have the new Light Emotion LED Moon disco effect and an Antari party fogger up for grabs. LED has redefined the ease and simplicity of having a great looking lighting display whether for a house party, DJ or club dance floor. LED runs cool, draws very little power, is safe to leave on all night, yet looks colourful and dazzling. No hot tricky lamps to replace either as the LEDs are rated at 50,000 hours plus. Combine with the world famous Antari party fogger to create spell binding effects that look just like a professional niteclub. 

LEDMOON: Using a a 15 Watt four-colour source, the LED Moonflower  produces spectacular, laser-like beams of light that can rotate and reverse in sync with the music. It’s your choice, you can operate the LED Moonflower through a DMX controller, alternately set it to move along to the music using its inbuilt microphone, or have it simply rotating at a constant speed. Compact in size and price, light weight and portable, the LED Moonflower will find a place in your light show, whether it be big or small. 

F80Z: The Antari F80Z has been a market leader, in both performance and reliability. Even though under 4.5kg, the 700w heater and 800ml tank pump out 2500 cubic feet a minute of rich mist –  superior to many cheaper competitors. The F80Z meets all Australian and international safety and compliance standards and comes with a remote control. Operate from the floor, or mount via the included hanging bracket and watch the fog cascade down.

 

 

Total Prize Value (RRP): $368.
