Since late last year there has been a new player in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg. Set in Hamburg’s Ottensen district, chef and author Jonas Straube appears to have effortlessly combined seeming opposites. Der Player (‘The Player’) is a restaurant, bar, games lounge, and nightclub all rolled into one. The innovative fusion concept posed a challenge for lighting and video planner Axel Fahrenhorst, from Hamburg-based creative consultancy lineareal GmbH. This is because when one seamlessly merges into the other, the lighting requirements change in next to no time.Read More »GLP impression FR1 TM Transforms Der Player’s Atmosphere from Dinner into Party Fever
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’

“We think of our creations as an invitation to dream,” Jean-Baptiste Duperray, founder and artistic director of La Compagnie des Quidams has said. This invitation was eagerly accepted recently by all who visited the historic Château des ducs de Bretagne on the banks of the Loire to see the talented street art group’s “Fiers à Cheval” performance. There, as the show’s large, self-lit inflatable horses floated in the air, flowing in harmony with metamorphic human artists, the imagination of spectators took flight.
