UNITED KINGDOM Funktion One in the House (of Commons) By Erica Basnicki
A HISTORICAL first-ever house music event staged in the Houses of Parliament in London featured a sound system provided by Funktion-One. The early March event was the final heat of this year’s House the House DJ competition, organised by the charity Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (LNADJ). Competition winner Bryce Fury headlined the event, supported by DJ superstar Fatboy Slim. Project Audio provided technical support for the event, including two white Funktion- One Resolution 2 speakers, a Funktion-One BR218 bass reflex enclosure and Funktion-One F101 speakers for DJ monitoring. The system was powered with Full Fat Audio amplification, controlled using XTA processing and mixed on a Midas console. Funktion-One’s Ann Andrews said: “House the House was great fun to be a part of and it gave us the opportunity to pass on some of our beliefs – like the importance of top quality sound

French first for Nexo STM
West Evenement has become the first French rental company to supply a Nexo STM system to its clients. The Rennes, Brittany- based company will carry an inventory of 24 M46 Main, 24 B112 Bass and 24 S118 Sub modules, powered by Nexo’s NUAR universal amp racks. The decision was made after
West Evenement heard a prototype version of the STM system in May of last year. “It represents a big evolution in
terms of the distance covered thanks to the quality of the HF section, the power and its modularity, which means that it can go out every week in different configurations,” said West Evenement’s sales and integration manager Ismaël Hifda. “Just recently it was being used in a small configuration for a gala dinner event. The next big event will be at the Olympia in Paris.”n

Fatboy Slim was the first DJ to ever play a set in the Houses of Parliament
and not using MP3s – to young people who are in the early stages of their musical journeys. Dancing to house music in the Houses of Parliament, on the anniversary of the introduction of the Criminal Justice Act, was fantastic!”n
