Kozzmozz gets industrial look with Chauvet
- Details
De Schinckel deployed eight Maverick MK2 Washes and eight STRIKE 1 multi formatted fixtures to create a hard-hitting industrial look that reflected the festival’s music. While the term “industrial” is often used to describe the atmosphere evoked by the harsh, stoic and unforgiving beats of techno, it fit de Schinckel’s design equally well.
“For the techno lighting concept, I took inspiration from the linear and angular elements within industrial architecture," said de Schinckel. "I was able to combine the different looks of my fixtures into one package essential for crafting the hard industrial event atmosphere."
Central to this concept were the STRIKE 1 fixtures, which were suspended from trussing extending out into the cavernous yet beautiful Vooruit concert hall venue. Thanks to their 230W bold audience blinding and strobe effects, the STRIKE units created a number of intense and engaging looks for techno sets from world renowned DJs such as former Berghain resident Ben Klock.
Another tool used to build de Schinckel’s industrial powerhouse was the Maverick MK2 Wash. Its punchy Osram RGBW LEDs provided saturated wash effects to paint the large venue with techno-friendly colour.
Working in unison with the Mavericks were two Chauvet DJ Intimidator Hybrid 140SR fixtures flanking the DJ booth.
