In the business of producing DJ and music-related events since 1999, Bozsan was inspired to create Sunset Thursdays following a visit to Cafe Mambo in Ibiza, Spain, where hundreds of people gather along the coast near the seaside bar to watch the sun go down.
"When the sun disappears into the Mediterranean, the beat drops and the crowd applauds and cheers," Bozsan says, describing the Cafe Mambo ritual. "It's an amazing experience, and it was my dream to bring a taste of that to New York City with Sunset Thursdays."
Approximately 500-700 people now attend Sunset Thursdays each week. QSC's HPR122i loudspeakers were chosen to bring sound reinforcement to the gatherings based upon a need for portable, high quality audio.
"The Parks Commission of New York City oversees all activities at the pier, and they don't allow installed speakers on the premises," Bozsan explains, citing the determining factor influencing his decision to keep things portable for Sunset Thursdays. "The HPR122i loudspeakers provide us with everything we need in terms of coverage and audio quality. I couldn't think of a better way to obtain the sound this application demands."
