This American tour was their first in support of the album, and the first time the band toured the US in 3 years (except for a Coachella appearance in 2014). Sure, that same kind of unanimous activity happens at other EDM shows, but I suppose it’s the reasoning behind the actions that truly spell out the difference for me.Ĭaravan Palace just put out their third studio album, confusingly titled, but colloquially referred to as Robot or Robot Face. I remember thinking to myself the last time I saw Caravan Palace that for all the PLUR in the world, the greatest community I’d ever experienced at a show was watching everyone jump in unison while swinging and gyrating to live music. This is especially true when my favorite act is playing electroswing and half the crowd is legitimately dancing and acting like a community.

Three years later, I’ve seen more backstages than I care to admit, I’m working full time for Your EDM, and I still love getting in the crowd for my favorite acts. Just to put things in perspective: three years ago, brostep was still cool I still hadn’t joined the staff of Your EDM I had just graduated college and finally found the time to go to a lot of shows. He likes the build quality and the spirit of innovation that characterises the brand.My first time seeing Caravan Palace was three years ago.

Paul has been using Robe products in his work since he became a lighting professional around 10 years ago.

The dynamic “Art Deco Corolla” video art piece was built from lightweight product to be tourable and scalable so he could adapt if for different sized stages and venues.Īccording to the band’s brief, he created something that looked simultaneously retro and modern, together with the video content to play through it, matched it with complimentary lighting looks.Īll lighting was controlled by a grandMA3 console, and Paul used ArKaos MediaMaster Pro to play all the video content into the separate P3 controller that mapped the video elements. The ‘top’ rig at the smaller venues was supplied by the house in each case, arranged via the promoter. Regietek also suppled a smaller touring package for all the other UK and European gigs comprising 8 x Robe LEDBeam 150s, some LED strips and video battens making up a striking custom pixel-mapped video feature upstage which Paul designed for the tour.
The wash lights for this show were 21 x Robe Spiiders, also positioned on the overhead trusses.įor this ‘empty shell’ show, all lighting was supplied by Leeds, UK-based Zig Zag Lighting, coordinated by Neil Hunt. He chose 21 x BMFL Spots for their power and versatility, solid gobo selection and the zoom range. He “really liked” the C/M/Y/CTO colour mixing system of the ESPRITES which enables the creation of “beautiful pastel shades” and thinks the gobos and zoom range are both “excellent”.įor the largest show on the UK itinerary, London’s Brixton Academy, Paul used BMFL Spots in the same context as the ESPRITES in Paris. Paul checked out the ESPRITE features and spec beforehand and decided that they would be ideal as his signature spot fixtures for the show. Lighting designer Paul Durozey – who has worked with the band for three years – used 23 x Robe ESPRITES for the first time at that Zenith show which were supplied by French rental company Regietek from Gonesse near Paris who took delivery of the luminaires two weeks earlier.Ī total of 23 x ESPRITES were divided up into 18 rigged on six over-stage trusses forming an arch in an upstage / downstage orientation, with 5 more on a conventionally positioned downstage truss. This was the day before all large-scale public events were cancelled for the foreseeable future to halt the spread of the virus.
