Anolis on Oakenfold Stadium Shows
Anolis ArcLine Outdoor Optic LED strips have been installed into Paul Oakenfold's spectacular bespoke rolling riser DJ platform, which is being utilised for his opening sets on Madonna's ‘Sticky & Sweet' world tour stadium shows.
The ArcLines were supplied by Anolis UK's Scott Callis to Litestructures, whose Gareth Mallon designed and built the booth in conjunction with DJ equipment specialist, Pioneer, following instructions from Oakenfold.
Oakenfold wanted the structure to be as spectacular as possible and help make a real impact during his performance on the stadium sized stages. Complete with integral lighting and plasma screens, it can be assembled by one person in an hour which was another key criteria of the brief. Measuring 3 metres wide by 1.2 metres deep and 1.5 metres high, they needed a robust, powerful and bright LED lightsource to backlight the ‘Paul Oakenfold' logo emblazoned across the front of the structure.
The ArcLine Luxeon Rebel K2 LEDs are well protected inside the sturdy aluminium extrusion that features on the outdoor version of this product, which is also IP rated, and therefore protected from the elements on outdoor shows. The ArcLines backing the logo have been programmed to produce a blue hue to match the corporate colours of Oakenfold's record label, Perfecto. Additional ArcLine Outdoor Optic LED strips have also been integrated into the trussing legs of the structure for general colour washing and effects. All fixtures have been programmed and are run via the Anolis ArcPower 72/K2 driver unit.
Oakenfold comments: "My future global touring schedule will include more and more large stadium shows, both with Madonna and my own Perfecto events. It made sense to custom design my own console for such high profile appearances, and more importantly, a console that is easily transported, can be adapted and expanded for any specific reason or occasion, and is visually appealing. I have been very impressed with the level of professional support and advice received from Anolis, Litestructures and Pioneer, and I am delighted with the beautiful piece of staging technology that has been produced."
