Protec creates a Sensation at dance music festival
Celebrated DJs, acrobats, dancers, pyrotechnics, lasers and fireworks synchronised with music across an unending sea of white.
Organisers who filled the atmosphere with stunning structures, unique elements and beautiful light-shows which illuminated the crowds in a white oasis.
Acts which united people from all over the world to create a great vibe, while the crowd embraced the “Celebrate Life” theme.
This was Sensation which is not just one of the most popular EDM concepts around the globe but also has a special standing in the Middle East which is known for awe-inspiring shows.
Sensation is the most travelled electronic music event in the world and has been to all continents, 35 countries and 43 different cities and has welcomed well over 2 million site visitors worldwide over nearly two decades.
The party implemented an all-white dress code as a tribute to Miles Stutterheim, one of Sensation’s founding members who died in a car accident, and to signify the unity of the ‘dance music family’. It was this 4th edition of Sensation, held at Dubai’s Meydan Racecourse, for which Protec, the Middle East’s largest and most comprehensive technical and staging solutions company, provided a full production infrastructure.
Many world-famous artists have appeared at Sensation. Tiësto played at the very first event in the year 2000, and almost all DJs now heading the Top 100 DJ lists have played at Sensation somewhere in the world including Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, David Guetta, and the former members of the Swedish House Mafia, to name only a few. This year’s Dubai event featured Mr. White, Sam Feldt, Danny Avila, Don Diablo, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and Steve Angello.
Protec were well aware of the high production values set by producer, organiser and promoter, Envie Events, with which it has worked closely on events in the past.
Responsible for some of the most spectacular, immersive and innovative dance music events in the Middle East, Envie sets store in state-of-the-art lighting, pyrotechnics and sound design.
