A significant quantity of ADJ Focus Profile, Vizi Beam 12RX, and Focus Flex automated luminaires were used to create an impressive atmosphere last month for a huge hardstyle dance event held at the Autotron exhibition center close to ‘s-Hertogenbosch in The Netherlands. Vroeger Was Alles Beter (which translates to ‘Everything Used To Be Better’) focuses on classic hard dance music and this special edition dubbed ‘The Man With The Golden Classics’ was headlined by one of the scene’s most prolific artists, Headhunterz. The sold-out event, which attracted a crowd of 8000, ran all day from 12:30pm through to 12:00am. It included a solo set from Headhunterz in the early evening and then closed with a 1.5 hour ‘vs’ set between the DJ and his musical partner Wildstylez.Read More »More Than 100 ADJ Fixtures Create Impressive Atmosphere at ‘Vroeger Was Alles Beter 2023’
