Suicide Circus is immersed in the intense techno culture that characterizes much of the city
Germany - Located in the eastern section of Berlin, Suicide Circus is immersed in the intense techno culture that characterizes much of the city's nightlife. Like this creative cauldron of a city, the popular techno club is in a constant mode of reinvention. Most recently, this process took the form of an upgraded lighting rig anchored by a formidable array of Intimidator moving fixtures from Chauvet DJ.

Serving the Berlin techno community for the best part of two decades, Suicide Circus is located in city's so called Partymeile. Having developed from its semi legal and spontaneous beginnings in the aftermath of the Cold War, the club has grown into an internationally recognized bastion of the Berlin techno scene.

Striving to keep its intensity level up at full blast, Suicide Circus turned to JustMusic to revamp its lighting system. The company did exactly that in spectacular fashion by supplying the club with 10 Intimidator Spot LED 350 75-watt moving fixtures and four Geyser RGB smoke machines to modernize its visual aesthetic.

"Techno club standards in Berlin have risen dramatically in the last few years," said André K, Suicide Circus' lighting technician. "In light of this, we thought it was time to bring the Suicide Circus experience to a whole new level."

In addition to changing the layout of the club and installing a more powerful sound system, the club owners decided to install an equally powerful set of lighting fixtures which would award extra visual emphasis to special DJ events and club nights.

The 10 Intimidator Spot LED 350s were fitted to two overhead rows of truss suspended above the dance floor. "The Intimidators are truly versatile fixtures," commented André K. "The lights themselves are extremely bright and give us the option of shining focused beams of light onto the dance floor with a wide selection of intense colors and several gobo patterns. We're able to transform the space with these effects so much more than we were able to with the older PAR cans."
