1. Favorite CHAUVET® light/product.
I have 24 SlimPAR™ 56 wash lights that I use to uplight my events. This fixture is my number one upseller and is a favorite among my clients because they bring any event to life.
2. Favorite CHAUVET® YouTube video.
I recently watched Gobo’s Made Easy CHAUVET® LFS-5 & Gobo Zoom™ with DJ Mikey Mike & Direct Sound where he reviews Gobo Zoom™ LED and LFS-5. Any video showing CHAUVET® products is a favorite of mine.
3. Favorite DJ.
DJ AM. I saw him live in Las Vegas and he was one of the first mainstream DJs to incorporate mashups into his set. He inspired me.
4. Favorite event/nightclub with lights.
Moon Nightclub at the Palms Hotel Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The club has awesome lights and a retractable roof.
5. Favorite tip for new CHAUVET® DJs.
Don’t be intimidated to ask for tips and help. If other DJs don’t inspire you, you are in the wrong business.

A show without lights is like watching a Pay-Per-View boxing fight without sound — boring and not exciting.
Congratulations to our June Facebook Fan of the Month, Chris Bond. Bond has been a DJ/Karaoke host for over 10 years. He recently went into business for himself and is the owner and operator of b.c. Entertainment. Read on and get to know more about our loyal fan.
1. Favorite CHAUVET® light/product.
My favorite product is the Hurricane™ Flex 1800 fog machine. It performs as advertised and is one of the most durable fog machines on the market. My favorite product, which I don’t own yet, is ShowXpress™. I’ve had the opportunity to work with it and look forward to having my own software.
2. Favorite CHAUVET® YouTube video.
“DJ Mikey Mike demos CHAUVET® DJ Nimbus™”
3. Favorite DJ.
Oddly enough, I’m really not into the DJ scene that much. I’m more of a party DJ that plays requests and such. That being said, I have enjoyed the Deadmau5 videos I’ve seen.
4. Favorite event/nightclub with lights.
I’m a big fan of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) because of their light show. It’s easy to gain an appreciation for lighting watching what these guys do six nights a week.
5. Favorite tip for new CHAUVET® DJs.
It’s a terrible feeling when you’re DJing an event 100 miles from home and a cable quits working. It’s even worse when you realize you don’t have a spare. Make sure you’re always prepared and have spare parts.

A show without lights is just like another friend bringing an iPod hooked up to a boom box.
