Godskitchen, presented by the Angel Music Group has, over the last decade established itself as one of the world's most successful and innovative brands, creating international tours and events of dance and club nights.
2009 saw the Ukrainian launch of Godskitchen Boombox, an event combining a mix of architectural, multimedia, visual and music concepts, and showcasing some of the best DJs, such as Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, David Guetta, Above&Beyond and Markus Schulz among others. Since its launch, Godskitchen Boombox has toured Poland, Belarus, South Africa, Australia and Russia with future events confirmed in South East Asia, Taiwan, Mexico and Turkey.
The centre of the show is a 16x8x4m construction covered with fabric which is used as a projection surface, creating a 3D illusion. The DJs box, situated in the middle of the structure and high above the clubbing crowd, is incorporated into many projection displays and a live-feed from the box is shown on two screens either side of the Boombox construction.
For Video, four 20K projectors and two 10K projectors are controlled by 1024d's custom software. The two HippoCritter servers, which were introduced at the December show in Kiev, will be used frequently at larger events this year. The Hippotizers receive the output from the custom software, which will then be relayed across 90 panels of Colourweb 125 or similar LED displays.
