Rotterdam Rave with MDG at Ahoy RTM Stage

Techno-based Rotterdam Rave runs 9-10 underground rave events a year which draw in excess of 50,000 visitors. Originally located in old industrial buildings, the sold-out events have grown rapidly in size, and the organisation recently adopted the 8000-capacity RTM Stage at Rotterdam Ahoy as the newest addition to the Rotterdam Rave territory.

For the Rotterdam Rave Kick-Off 2023 event in February, Peitsman Licht en Geluid BV supplied two MDG ATMe haze generators to show designer Joël Lemmerling and lighting designer Guy van Noorden. The latter designed an overhead set based around a number of aerial cubes and a lighting rig suspended above the public on over 800 m of truss, and focused the lighting on the audience rather than the performers and DJs on stage.

As the hall was filled with beams of light and laser effects, the overhead cubes were outlined with white LED strips that added another dimension to their shape. These helped define the geometric shape within the haze, emphasising and enhancing the ethereal, dream-like appearance as they hung suspended and isolated above the audience.

The two MDG ATMe haze generators were sited in backstage left and right positions and, with the aid of two fans, filled the 60+ m long RTM hall. “We turned the ATMes on a couple of hours before the event kicked off and simply left them to it”, says Patrick Botterman, Peitsman’s project leader for the event. “The haze lasted until the early hours of the morning.”

Peitsman has worked with Rotterdam Rave on its previous events at the Onderzeebootloods old submarine dry dock, and is the preferred supplier for all events at the Ahoy RTM Stage.
