BELLVILLE VELODROME, CAPE TOWN, 15 JUNE 2009
EXPO CENTRE, JOHANNESBURG, 13 JUNE 2009
Godskitchen is once again going to stamp its authority in South Africa. Following on a hugely successful debut in the Ukraine, which saw the attendance of 16,000 fans, the “Godskitchen BoomBox” will be making its way to Johannesburg and Cape Town where South African fans will be able to experience this unique structure. This extraordinary production is a must see and will be landing in South Africa along with the worlds number one DJ Armin Van Buuren.
Armin will man the controls of this colossal rectangular structure housing state-of-the-art DJ equipment as Godskitchen debuts this unique architectural,multimedia, visual and music event concept in South Africa. The “Boombox” acts as a giant screen from which an astounding combination of lighting and visuals can be projected in perfect synchronisation with the music. Godskitchen has become renowned for combining the biggest DJs on the planet with groundbreaking production that bedazzles crowds in excess of 15000.
The Godskitchen Boombox is the brainchild of ‘1024′, the people behind Exyzt, the Parisian based design collective who are pioneers of structural projection and responsible for numerous art and cultural design installations across Europe. At over 16 metres wide, 8 metres high and 6 metres deep the structure combines next generation technology whilst marrying architecture with art.
Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, David Guetta, John Dahlback, ATB, Sander Van Doorn and Judge Jules are just a smattering of the names set to perform in the “Godskitchen Boombox” around the world, following in the paths of Eric Prydz, Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Mauro Picotto and Josh Gabriel. Armin was recently voted #1 in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 poll and along with tulips and Edam, is one of Holland’s most popular exports.
Armin Van Buuren entertained 16000 people at the largest indoor event ever in the Ukraine and more recently played Godskitchen in Poland. For event info, ticket purchases and to view video clips, amazing images and behind the scenes footage, please click the below links:
