ASSEMBLY RADIO

The iconic Cape Town live music venue The Assembly has teamed up with For music Lovers to produce a new local internet radio station. They will play music that is not usually heard on the radio... more rock, more acoustic and less commercial.

I was asked to design and manage the build of a booth that we placed within The Assembly nightclub. It needed to give life to a dead corner of the club and fit into the existing interior. Another very important factor was the acoustics - the intention is to broadcast 24 hours a day, so when there's a gig on the main stage just about 3 metres away, the DJ's should still be able to do their job. With one of the biggest, baddest, loudest sound-systems in the city this was quite some challenge. So we designed a box within a box trying to acoustically and physically separate the interior from the surroundings. A lot of the design is within the walls creating a simple, functional and neat-looking box. Two large windows create a visual appeal to the public.
