I was hired to provide a full nights music for an 18th birthday party (May 13 2017) which saw approximately 80 people attending so it was quite a good night and I was able to test out properly my newer Beamer 8 lights and some refined programming of the lighting setup.
I was hired to play a 30th party which was held outdoors at a sporting club. I knew the person through friends and the night was a casual affair but offered me a chance to test drive my new setup and see how well it could fill a large outdoor area.
I started DJing when I was just 12 years old. While I loved the craft and enjoy making and playing music I placed my passion on hold for years to raise kids. Now i'm back and building the mobile DJ party system I always wanted when I was younger and it looks to be turning out better than I could have expected!
One of the components of the lighting setup is my trusty old PAR light chaser which I built from a kit back in 2002. It simply sequences 4 lights (80W PAR Flood Lights) either via an oscilator or via music. I have always loved this chaser because it's simple, rock solid and it fills a room with light. It was pretty much the single effect I could count on...
The updated lighting rig that we have been designing is now pretty much complete and undergoing programming. We initially spent a few weeks programming and testing the lights but have now decided to completely reprogram the lights to fit a number of different moods.
We have just started to rebuild our DJ service for the South Australian area and a friend of mine was having an outdoor party on a large property in the country so I decided to see if he would like me to test out the system. This was a perfect test as I needed to travel to the location and the party area was completely outdoors so sound wise it was a challenge.
