EXPO AV-INSYNC (EAI) was chosen to provide full technical production for the first-ever FREQ’ender dance festival in Singapore, with the company specifying its Martin Audio system for the 2-day event.
The event was held at Infinite Studios and promoted by Limited Edition Concepts (Singapore), with 4,500 people attending. The festival was split into two distinct days: the first day (in conjunction with Halloween) was named Freq’show, which made way on day two for Mekanika, produced by international Trance Festival brand Godskitchen
EAI managing director Gerard Rodrigues confirms that his company had recommended the MLA system. “The end result was that everyone, including the promoters, really felt the music and were amazed at the audio quality. They were really blown away. The MLX subs also became a talking point for many of the AV industry professionals who attended the gig as well.”
EAI kept the same rig in place for both days, with hangs of eight elements per side (plus a single MLD downfill), and 12 MLX subs ground-stacked. In addition, the company supplied eight W8LM Mini line arrays and four WS218X subs as a potent DJ monitor system.
Limited Edition Concepts director and co-founder Godwin Pereira states, “With EXPO AV’s experience, it was easy to get the best out of the MLA system, and the sound behaved superbly in the 18,000-square-foot sound stage. It was warm and non-intrusive, producing little in the way of ‘noise,’ instead, it delivered purity, clarity and a whole lot of thump.”
The event featured global acts covering electro, trance, house, techno and many other genres, including Hot Chip, 2ManyDJs, GlowInthedark and Marco V, along with over 20 live performers and dancers from Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.
