Geekologie I Watch Stuff The Superficial

Geekologie Reader's Homemade DJ Light Stage

March 5, 2012 / beats, dj, eye candy, geekologie reader, good job, homemade, i am impress, i love colors, i'm gonna take drugs now and i'm gonna watch this again in just a little, music, oh man i don't know if you can tell or not but i am fist pumping and jumping up and down right now!, pretty!, rainbow, these beats are so fresh, video

Geekologie Reader (and half of DJ duo Skitzophonics) Stefan went and built this custom stage for when he and his bro Flip (the other half of Skitzophonics) perform. It lights up to the fresh beats they drop and mesmerizes audiences with f***ing rainbows and fades and all kinda shit that would make you puke your face off with happiness if you ever saw it live.

Presenting: The Paranormal Unicorn Stage


An audio-visual delicacy, the Paranormal Unicorn is a DJ stage custom made only for the juiciest of parties. Together with the DJ duo Skitzophonics, hundreds of hours of sweat, blood and alcohol were spent creating this sexy piece of eye candy.

Guys -- I want you to come play my next birthday party. And I'm not just saying that because nobody showed up last year and I'm hoping the music & light-show will draw a crowd, but it's worth a shot. Jesus -- anything's better than crying into an ice cream cake alone again. "Hey, at least you had an ice cream cake." *crying* I lied about the cake, okay?! It was a PB & J. :(

Hit the jump for a video of the stage doing its thing.

    Eye Candy: Awesome Cut-Paper Silhouette Action Scenes
    September 25, 2012
    This is an awesome series of photographs (and behind the scenes shots) by Geekologie Reader and photographer/designer David Reeves. He cuts little silhouettes out of paper, then varies their distance from his lens to create some really beautiful scenes. He even did some creep... / Continue →
  • Looks Dangerous: Homemade Batpod Built In Vietnam
    July 31, 2012
    This is a video of the Batpod inspired motorcycle some engineering genius managed to piece together in Vietnam. It's pretty damn impressive considering it looks like it was built entirely out of parts that had fallen off other cars. Granted it's not something I'd risk MY life... / Continue →
  • For Open Mic On Mos Eisley: Custom Built Guitar2-D2
    July 26, 2012
    This is Geekologie reader Doug's home-built Guitar2-D2 electric guitar. He said at first he wasn't gonna send it to me because he felt like that would be too narcissistic of him. Then I think he chugged a couple beers and warmed up a little. I've avoided spreading this link ... / Continue →

    Sweet that they put it together themselves, I love when music and light meet. Though lots of other DJ's have similar set ups for their shows. Skrillex, Pretty Lights to name two off the top of my head.

    I'm dropping ambien and viagra.....this shit is tight! And I mean my pants....oh the lights were cool too.

  • Thanks for the overwhelmingly positive response guys :)  And yes, we control the whole thing live with some custom written software (towards the end, you can see me playing an APC40, we control it with that), so we can handle anything a DJ can throw at us. And yes, we agree that Amon Tobin's stage is the best DJ stage ever created.

  • Jason's Robot

    So does it have to be programmed ahead of time to prepared music or does it work with 'freestyle' dj'ing as impressively..?

  • Rebecca Chung

    Not bad, but it looks and sounds better when Amon Tobin does it...

  • Love how adding "by geekologie reader" makes everything much more impressive, because you know, people on Geekologie are assumed to have no abilities, that reading up on this blog somehow shows that one cannot do anything else wonderful that pops up on the interwebs

  • Nice!

  • These guys would be nuts as fuck live.

  • CLUBBING, now with more epilepsy... Yeah I know, I didn't think it was possible either

  • like the tune is it there own?

  • the song is called Spitfire and it's by Porter Robinson

  • Next time I try to coach a UFO to land I'll know who to call.

  • Davidsadi

    would have been much sweeter if it wasn't dubstep >.< play some tech house or minimal and ill fucking love it

  • lol "im not really into club music". thats not club music thats edm idiot. I'm so glad they were playing some dubstep with that light set up. i wish i was rolling at that stage. 

  • n_a_a_s

    Wow, fantastic work guys!  That is outstanding, very unique and a cool concept to add to a dj booth.  It's also nostalgic seeing 1200s AND those ortofons, those aren't around as much as they used to be

  • I'm not really into club music, but this set-up is awesome! These guys should go into freelance stage design; I'm sure bands/performers would like to have their expertise at their back.

    I think I just had a mini seizure.  Love it!
