South Africa - When Avicii performed at the Wavehouse in Durban as part of his South Africa tour recently, Insane Sound & Lighting were the technical suppliers. Avicii drew in a crowd of 5 500 people.

Vimal Rawjee from Insane Sound & Lighting asked lighting designer Thomas Peters to put together the drawings for something that could work for this renowned DJ performance. The actual show was plotted and operated by Insane's David Mupanguri.

The show started at 3pm, but four hours later, serious rainfall wet most of the equipment. In addition the power tripped. DWR Distribution's Nick Barnes was on the show with a spare Avolites Titan for back-up and support. Gary Furman from Wild and Marr was attending the show as a patron.

The hardworking Insane team, accompanied by Nick and Gary, successfully wiped, dried and moved gear about to keep the show running."Nick helped us quite a bit," said Vimal. "Once the Robins and Robe fixtures were powered up again, they kept working in the rain."
