    TRANSMISSION. NEW GEAR

    Story: Christopher Holder

    Okay, let’s get the jibes over with before we go any further.

    This is more than an ‘aux cord’ story about DJs pressing Play and sound guys with their feet up tooling around on Facebook.

    Transmission is a phenomenally successful trance franchise event, still zealously overseen by head honchos, out of the Czech Republic.

    It’s a super-slick, super-spectacular, themed event. (Don’t bother trying to hire a laser on a Transmission weekend; they’re all taken.)

    Over the daylight savings weekend in Spring, Transmission once again touched down in Melbourne (after a successful 2016 Australian debut at Hisense Arena). This year the event kicked into another gear, hiring out the cavernous Etihad Stadium.

    Partygoers parted with $150+ to join thousands of others on the field of play where bigger-than-Ben-Hur staging, lighting, LED and laser were matched by an equally monstrous audio rig.

    Full Throttle Entertainment was again selected to provide audio for the 2017 edition of Transmission after a successful performance at the 2016 event.
