Insane’s Vimal Rawjee asked freelance lighting and video specialist Thomas Peeters to join the team and help co-ordinate the event, which was staged at the Wavehouse in Durban and exceedingly well received.

Thomas matched the specification of Skrillex’s Lighting Designer Andrew Nissley with Insane’s rental stock and assisted in implementing the production on a scale to suit the venue and the budget, which included 31 Robe moving lights - 21 LEDWash 600s and 10 MMX Spots fitted with air kits.

On site, Thomas worked closely with freelancer Herman Wessels who managed the rigging and oversaw the crew while Thomas took care of all the power and data distribution. They both programmed the grandMA consoles (control equipment for the show was supplied by MGG Productions) and took turns in operating through the opening acts, which also included several other performances including Digital Kaos, Funky G and Alvin Risk.

The lighting rig – which included other moving lights, generics and strobes – was flown on three over-stage trusses, supported by a six-legged ground support system and an advance truss flown off the front of the stage.The LEDWash 600s were used to wash the stage, colour the haze and cut through the large LED screen upstage of the DJ booth.

A single LEDWash 600 placed on the floor behind the DJ position was highly effective for silhouetting the acts as they spun their magic on the decks.Four of the MMXs were rigged on the front truss with the other six on the floor.

Although Robe was not specified on the LD’s rider, he accepted the substitution without any questions “Clearly Insane has chosen a good investment in Robe,” observes Thomas, adding that Andrew was in fact absolutely blown away by the MMX Spots in particular - he liked their small size, speed, brightness and both the standard and the in-air gobo sets.

Thomas himself comments, “The 600s give clearly defined beams even though they are wash lights and fantastic saturated colours between which they can transition really smoothly and slickly”, so for the opening acts, even though they were only using the back truss luminaries for the opening acts and these were limited in numbers … it looked like there were loads more up there!

The MMX Spots on the front truss enabled the creation of “Clear and imposing looks over the crowd” an essential element of lighting for any EDM event … and the ones on the floor provided an awesome layer of contra-angled beams.

Says Thomas, “Electronic dance music requires fast changes, strobing, snapping between saturated colours, big gobo scrolls and a selection of really solid beams – all of which the fixtures on the rig were able to deliver effortlessly”.
