One of Brighton’s longer running club nights, De Puta Madre, has grown from a daytime gathering at the Setting Sun pub in the middle of town, to a free, all day and night free seafront party attracting upwards of 3000 people, with leading names in house and techno music.

For the first party of the year, Mattthias Tanzmann requested a high powered monitoring rig, which was more than satisfied when we deployed a pair of Martin Audio WS18X subwoofers with a pair of Martin Audio XD15 full range speakers. This was powered using one our Powersoft K Series DSP racks, with a potential power output of 17000 watts.
