Bravo BPM!
How do you follow up the absolutely astounding time we had at DJ Expo in Atlantic City this summer? Easy - you kick off the fall with an equally fantastic “BPM Blast” on the other side of the pond in Birmingham, England. BPM rocked for the thousands of DJs who turned out for the show; and just as we did in Atlantic City, we enjoyed good food and great company at the ADJ Customer Appreciation PizzaFest party hosted by Sparky B. We were also thrilled by the response to our Video Mixing Seminar conducted by Brian Redd, DJ Etronik and Andi Crampton. Next up: the Mobile Beat Show in Las Vegas and its American DJ Customer Appreciation Party. Let the good times roll!

FLASH FOTO
X Marks The Spot For Arnoldo Offermann Truss Setup


Master School Dance’s Arnoldo Offermann knows how to bring out the best in lighting—set it off with some creative truss configurations! That’s very easy to see in this photo he sent us of an X-shaped truss set up using products from Global Truss America products along with a bevy of high output American DJ lighting including the Inno Color Beam LED, Accu UFO Pro, Spherion RGB, Royal Sky, Ruby Royal and Nucleus LED. For good measure, Arnoldo warmed his truss with ADJ Jelly Pars and Mega Tri Par Profiles.

The Show Goes On
No sooner had he unpacked his bags from a great BPM show than Busy Brian (aka ADJ Marketing Director Brian Dowdle) had to stuff them with clean shirts again and head off to Las Vegas for the LDI Show. We caught up with Brian just as he returned from LDI. To read what he told us, click here.

Scaring Up More Gigs
Halloween is almost here and hopefully your schedule is filled with haunted house and party gigs. American DJ National Sales Manager Alfred Gonzales talks about how offering the right mix of lighting “tricks” can give you more “treats” in the form of higher paying Halloween gigs. Learn More.

 

What’s In A Name?
At first some people wanted to call the products in our new MXR series “mixers,” but these revolutionary pieces are way more than mixers, so Tom Freret American Audio’s National Sales Manager has rechristened them “controllers.” Tom tells us why the new name is more than skin deep. Read what he has to say.


Kinyon Brinson (DJ Silenze)
Back when he in his early teens, Kinyon Brinson was a self-described “bedroom DJ,” who enjoyed producing dub tape mixes for himself and his friends using only a dual cassette player. Well… the years passed and Kinyon beefed up his gear package and sharpened his skills, growing to the point where he’s now one of the most sought after DJs in central New York. Meet Kinyon.
