About Light-O-Matic

Light-O-Matic creates/helps Events

Light-O-Matic creates events, usually psy-trance events, but others as well. We also create events in partnership with other people. We also provide sound systems, sound engineering, lighting, DJing and art for events.

Light-O-Matic DJ's

Hypnotoad <light-o-matic> is a psy-trance and chill-out DJ. Also will be heard playing the occasional 80's New Wave set and mixed up 60's and 70's music...

Light-O-Matic does Sound

Light-O-Matic has a substantial, fully professional sound system.. EAW speakers, QSC and Powersoft amps, Ashly processing. This system is used on all of our own events and has been used for many others, mainly electronic music and alternative arts events. If you need sound for your event, contact us. We can provide an entire system for you, if that's what you need. But we can also provide additional sound if you have a system but need more than you have. We can also engineer what you have and make it sound better. If you are working with a club and it doesn't sound good, we might be able to figure out what's going on. But one thing we won't do is rent our equipment to anyone unless we are there. We are a sound provider, not an equipment provider.

Light-O-Matic does Lighting

Light-O-Matic is a project of lighting designer  Ben <light-o-matic>, bringing over 20 years of theatrical lighting experience to the design of lighting effects for psy-trance events, raves, and other types of party environments. We are also glad to work on arts events, unusual musical performances, dance events and other interesting lighting opportunities.

We specialize in a style of intelligent lighting that uses mainly beam effects over the crowd and smooth organic motion of the lights. We can also do in-your-face full-on rave lighting if that's what you like...

If you are doing an event in a club that already has lighting, we can come in and run their lighting so that it matches your event better. We will bring our own lighting console in to run their lights, if necessary.

We use fully professional moving lights and other equipment such as High End Systems, Martin Professional, Avolites, ReelFX and others. We also have a number of blacklight fixtures and smaller DJ type fixtures to fill in where needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I just rent equipment from you?

Sorry, no. The equipment is never handed over to someone else to set up or run. If the equipment goes out to your event then I have to be there too.

Can you handle large events?

We have done events of over 1000 people with our own equipment. It depends on the event. If you are doing something bigger than our equipment can handle then we will add to our system with rentals. The system is designed so that if it is expanded, everything will work together.

How much do you charge?

It depends. If your event is a medium to high-priced, high-profile (high-profit) event, we charge market rates. If your party is underground, cheap or free, or somehow overlaps with our own interests, then you will get a much better deal, maybe even free, depending upon circumstances... Tell us about your event and we'll give you a better answer.
