American DJ Lighting Used In Trendy Hollywood "Club Blue"


As an experienced club promoter and owner, Bruce Perdew knew exactly what he wanted in an entertainment environment when he opened "Club Blue" in Hollywood, CA. Club Blue has been designed to meet todays demand for a diverse mix of cutting-edge music, along with an exciting, trendy atmosphere. Perdew and partners took an old 8000 sq. ft. theater and transformed it into one of Hollywoods hottest dance clubs. They divided the club into two rooms, each featuring a different style of music on any given night of the week. Depending on the evening, those who step onto Club Blues two dance floors may find music ranging from hypnotic trance, to eerie goth, to the rapture of rave, to the ever-popular alternative music. To accompany the music, the club offers a wild light show, which is built around the selected theme for the night. In order to provide the versatile effects needed to create a spectacular light show night after night, an ensemble of fixtures and controllers from American DJ were chosen for the job. As well as being the owner of this roaring club, Perdew says that he is "one who likes to have his fingers in everything." He personally hand-picked each of the lighting effects that would be used in Club Blue. "I chose American DJ lighting, because I have had good experiences with their products in the past," said Perdew. "Their products provide the flexibility we need to accompany the wide range of music we play. Using American DJ fixtures and controllers, we can completely change the light show so that it complements whatever style of music were playing on a particular night." To provide this wide diversity of lighting effects, the following American DJ fixtures were chosen for the package installed at Club Blue: 18 Mighty Scans, 2 Fan 1000s, 14 Sparkles, 6 Color Gems, 6 150 DMX Strobe Lites, 2 Groove Wheels, 20 PL 1000 Pin Spots. Pulling all these breath-taking effects together are three American DJ controllers: 2 Show Designers, and a DMX Operator. Along with multi-color beams and gobos, Perdew chose some more unusual effects. For example, the Groove Wheel is a professional oil wheel projector which -- as its name suggests-- will take anyone back to the "groovy" 60s with its psychedelic patterns and colors. Not only was Perdew impressed with the variety of products offered by American DJ, he was also delighted with the value he received for the dollar . "American DJ products are priced very affordably and offer excellent value," said Perdew. "We were able to buy a large package of effects while staying within our budget." The responsibility of installing the new lighting system in Club Blue was given to Dave Meek, a lighting contractor with No Static (Gardena, California). "American DJ provides a large assortment of quality products for a reasonable price," agreed Meek. "Along with the excellent quality, all the products are easy to install and user-friendly." (Club Blues lighting installer, No Static, can be reached at 1-888-NO STATIC.) With its exhilarating environment, Club Blue has become a destination where the "hip and trendy" gather for a night out on the town. Its dance floors are usually packed with a capacity crowd of 655 people. "We are honored that our lighting products were chosen for such a cutting edge establishment like Club Blue," said Scott Davies, general manager of American DJ. "We are committed to providing clubs and DJs with products that are at the very forefront of todays entertainment trends."
