Namibian rental company, Mikel-Jes Productions, purchased a 10metre x 8metre Prolyte MPT Roof with Wings, 16 x StageDex, Prolyft Motors, and Robe fixtures including 12 Pointes, six Robin 300s and 12 LED Beam 100s.

At the start of 2014, with the music festival “Hart van Windhoek’ in Namibia in mind, the company made a decision to invest in new equipment, and soon after promoting their new Prolyte MPT roof, the enquiries started coming in. “We have already booked it out for four different shows,’ says Michael Vermeulen of Mikel-Jes Productions.

Not unfamiliar to Prolyte, they had a good idea of how to erect their new roof, which was bought from DWR Distribution, and Robert Izzett from DWR was at hand to assist them putting it up for the first time.

The Mikel-Jes team are also excited to use the structure to create funky sets in which they can include LED walls, and ultimately create hypes at festivals.

Their new delivery included new lighting. Having purchased a few Robe fixtures a year ago, Mikel-Jes still found they had insufficient units to keep up with a busy schedule which meant they had to hire in. “One of the main reasons we bought Robe was due to the reliability of the product,’ said Michael. “The units are awesome and at the moment we are creating magic in Nam!’
