NEW YORK – Looking to keep one of New York’s hottest clubs on the cutting edge, the owners of Mamajuana revamped the club’s look recently, giving the chic nightspot a new color palette with 12 Legend 412 fixtures along two 20-foot I-Beams (six on each) that run along either side of the Mamajuana dance floor. On nights when there isn’t a concert, six additional Legend 412 fixtures will also flood the dance floor. “We like to bathe the floor with very rich colors using a GrandMA to program some dynamic shows. We rely on the intensity of our color beams to touch the crowd without using patterns or gobos. The dance floor is so packed, no one will see any of the patterns you create, so it’s all about the colors and intensity of the beams,” said LD Jason Ayala.
