Behind IPG’s Most Iconic Booth Build Yet

Some event ideas start with a spark. This one started with a dare.

“Could you build a DJ booth shaped like a skull?”

At Impact Production Group (IPG), we didn’t flinch. We lit up.

Because this wasn’t just another decor piece,  it was a chance to build something epic, eerie, and unforgettable. For a pirate-themed private event, the client wanted something that would electrify the crowd. So we turned a bold vision into reality with one of our most talked-about builds: the Skull DJ Booth.

The Vision: More Than Just a Booth

This wasn’t about putting a DJ on stage — it was about putting them inside a story. We wanted to create a stage centerpiece that would feel like part sculpture, part theatre, and 100% immersive.

The skull would need to:

  • Command attention in daylight and after dark
  • House a fully equipped DJ rig with ventilation, lighting, and access
  • Blend into the event theme, while standing on its own as a spectacle

The Process: From Sketch to Skull

Our design team started with rough sketches, playing with skull shapes that could scale to 2.5+ meters wide without losing proportion. Then we moved into digital modeling.

Using 3D design tools, we shaped a structure with depth, detail, and texture. We combined metal, plywood, and foam elements — striking the right balance between strength, precision, and lightness for safe installation.

Inside the Skull
  • A raised DJ platform fit seamlessly inside the mouth
  • LEDs were rigged inside the eyes for reactive lighting red eyes
  • All cabling was hidden for an aesthetically pleasing look

The entire structure was tested and assembled in our warehouse before transport.

The Build: Bringing the Skull to Life

On-site setup took two days. We worked alongside our lighting and audio teams to ensure:
  • Every beat synced with lighting effects
  • The booth was structurally sound and compliant
  • The final look matched the client’s fantasy — eerie yet electrifying
We added smoke machines that gave it life during the DJ’s set.
The moment the booth lit up and the first drop hit — the crowd roared.

Client Reactions

🗨️  “You guys really brought the drama. That skull was the soul of the night.”

🗨️ “We thought it would be cool — we didn’t know it would become a legend.”

This booth wasn’t just functional. It became a social media magnet, a photo zone, and the centerpiece of an entire branding experience.

Why This Matters: Immersive Environments Drive Emotion

At IPG, we don’t believe in “just setting up a stage.” We believe in telling stories through environments.

  • A booth becomes a sculpture
  • A stage becomes a statement
  • A DJ becomes part of the narrative

That’s how we approach every custom build: creatively, technically, emotionally.

Thinking of Something Wild?

We’ve built skulls, ships, sunken lounges, giant letters, tipi chill zones, fire tunnels, and projection-mapped backdrops — all from scratch.

If you’ve got an idea, no matter how crazy it sounds, we want to hear it.
