4      TIMINGS
       As advanced – we’ll need a minimum of 20 minutes changeover time between the preceding artist
       and deadmau5. We will need all touring production equipment to be pre-set to allow this to happen
       in the time available.

       We are a small highly-motivated team (approximately 14 total - artist, crew and drivers – exact
       numbers for your show will be advanced)
       We will rig five (5) cross stage trusses carrying lightweight video and lighting – with a set
       consisting of a rolling dj console clad in video tiles and a selection of floor-based lighting
       instruments

                         SOUND SYSTEM (promoter provides – except uk)
       PA size obviously depends on venue size and layout, all we require is that a sufficient, well
       maintained PA should be supplied to give good, clear, full range re-production to all audience areas

       CHANNEL LIST:
       We will send a simple stereo mix to monitors and FOH

       MONITORING:
       Stereo mix to pair of high quality active wedges plus subs adjacent to dj console downstage centre
       (d&b or funktion1 preferred)
