BASSBOSS Powers MoDem Teaser Festival with High-Impact Sound in Mexico City Each year, approximately 15,000 electronic music fans gather in Croatia for MoDem, a psytrance festival celebrated for its vibrant stages, psychedelic music, and immersive atmosphere. Since launching in 2012, MoDem's global popularity has led to a growing circuit of teaser parties in cities like Berlin, Madrid, and Amsterdam. These smaller-scale events offer fans a preview of the energy and sound of the main festival. As part of this year's teaser circuit, a three-day outdoor event just outside Mexico City relied on a BASSBOSS loudspeaker system to deliver 60 hours of full-range, high-impact sound in a rugged, open-air environment. Galder Moran, the event's lead live sound engineer, recalled his experience getting the system up and running. "We had the full BASSBOSS system ready in just under two hours, with about 90 minutes for the main rig and another 30 minutes for monitors," he says. "No external DSP or tuning was needed. Onboard presets gave us fast, consistent, full-range sound. It's a big system, but it's built to move. We had it stacked and running faster than expected, and it sounded great right away." "We ran nonstop for 60 hours at nearly full capacity, straight from the box. No failures, no fuss," says Galder. "Many DJs who were experiencing BASSBOSS for the first time told me they were blown away by the clarity and stereo image. You could tell they were excited to be playing through it. It's exactly the kind of system you want: powerful, portable, and reliable." The Mexico City setup features 12 active loudspeakers in a 2.1 live configuration. Each side of the main stereo array used the Stackatoa system, a vertically integrated combination of the Kraken-MK3 Qqad 21" powered subwoofer, Makara-MK3 double 21" powered subwoofer, and KRAKATOA quintuple 18" point source full-range loudspeaker. A center-fill array of ZV28-MK3 double 18" powered subwoofers and DV12-MK3 single 12" powered loudspeakers ensured balanced coverage, while AT212-MK3 Dual 12 Powered Loudspeakers provided clear onstage monitoring for DJs.
