Local residents Manzone & Strong started things off for what turned into a huge crowd.  Marco V delivered a hard hitting yet emotionally uplifting night of music, foraying across progressive house, electro and trance to get the crowd moving. Ranked #8  nightclub in the world, The Guvernment was decked out in Chinese lanterns and brought out two Chinese Lion dancers to celebrate Chinese New Year, always a big party in Toronto. mixMotion echoed the theme, adding  iconic Chinese graphics and video to the mix.

It was a Dutch/German love affair at the annual trance all-nighter. Dutch trance pioneer Piet Bervoets (Rank 1) impressed with a deep opening set of moody, minimal music. mixMotion kept the visuals abstract using deep moody blue tones and sparse graphic imagery. The crowd was in love with Cologne Germany’s Blank & Jones, who kept it upbeat and played to the party vibe. Menno de Jong upped the Dutch trance quotient a notch, mixing long, blissful breakdowns that brought hands to the air. Sought-after German DJ and producer Alex Morph brought a luscious, ethereal edge to the night, taking things late before handing off to resident and local favorite Mark Oliver.

The challenge for mixMotion was to integrate Youtube’s branding during the show, while keeping it subtle and aesthetically interesting. We created customized motion graphics incorporating the Youtube logo and their red and white color scheme. These were layered overtop the visuals which were mixed live during the event.

A great night!

The night featured Skratch Bastid, Scratch (beatboxer from The Roots) and DJ Starting From Scratch. The DJs mixed on 4 turntables while Scratch beatboxed live on the mic with his effects unit.

This was the first show in an ongoing series that we are a part of – entitled SKRATCH BASTID PRESENTS. This will be a quarterly night based around mixing and matching musical styles and ideas while staying conscious of the party atmosphere.

We mixed his custom visuals with our content creating new and inspiring images for the capacity crowd.

Kleinenberg a dutch DJ known as an outstanding  progessive house DJ, was ranked #70 in DJ Magazines Top 100 DJ Poll.

Sander Kleinenberg is well known for his DVJin g with self-created visuals and video usage in concerts. Kleinenberg explains his use of video saying that it allows for more variety among DJs and performances and that it makes concerts reflect life. Due to the complexity of mixing both audio and visual at concerts, Kleinenberg will use the club’s on site VJ or have his partner Mark Pistoire of Venga Boys  fame as a VJ at his concerts using the DVJ-X1  or the newer DVJ1000 . Kleinenberg first met Pistoire in 2003 when searching for a VJ for his “Everybody” events and the two performed live together for the first time in The Hague. The in-concert imagery often includes political content or trippy home videos created by Pistoire or Kleinenberg.
