BICEP – Live

HIVE provides the visual component of Electronic duo – Bicep’s masterful live tour. Adapting from the humblest venues to the biggest festival in Spain, delivering unforgettable performances throughout.

In 2021, Zeal approached HIVE to provide four of their P2 Systems to power the Bicep Live touring project. Zak Norman, from BlackBoxEcho, an old and trusted friend of the HIVE team had suggested the implementation of a HIVE solution, as he believed it would be perfect for the job.

The electronic music production and DJ duo known as Bicep are renowned for delivering powerful and melodic dance tracks, accompanied by equally entrancing visuals – resulting in a truly complete audio-visual experience for the audience. Zeal (production company for Sub Focus , Bicep & Neverland festival of light) says: the HIVE products are “small, powerful, reliable, and excellent value for money.”

In a tour that took them all the way from the woods in Oxfordshire, UK, to the legendary Primavera Sound festival located on the seafront of Barcelona, HIVE was with them every step of the way, supporting them with their Player_2 technology.

Liverpool World Museum Aquarium

HIVE and RES were hired by Liverpool Museum to help with the refurbishment of the Aquarium project. While Hive Media Control founders are inspired by the natural world and environment, they understand that keeping animals in captivity is a sensitive issue.

After discussing the Museum’s focus on educating visitors about the planet’s resources, global warming, and humanity’s relationship with the ocean, HIVE decided to participate and even sponsored a film about the environment in hopes of inspiring children to care more for the planet.

After completion of the project, Mannika Dhadwal, Digital Content Lead said “The process from start to finish has been exactly what you would want and need – imaginative, flexible and collaborative. They’ve worked within our budget and have produced world-class animated content that has really amplified the exhibition experience. We’re looking forward to working with them on future projects and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”

The process from start to finish has been exactly what you would want and need!

Sub Focus

ZEAL and HIVE bring iconic drum & bass artist Sub Focus to life with groundbreaking production at the prestigious Printworks London, creating an unforgettable multi-sensory experience.

Primarily known for his ‘dancefloor dismantling drum & bass’, Sub Focus is a household name in the subculture. It was therefore an honour to provide the visual component – the backdrop to his performance. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the event was postponed multiple times. After rounds of rescheduling, ZEAL successfully produced the show, with the creative team including HIVE’s P1 System for video playback & LED mapping.

And what better venue to have it than the world-renowned Printworks, located in London, which pushes the envelope in terms of combining world class audio with ground-breaking visuals.

With special thanks to: Zeal and Zak Norman
