Some builds are functional. Some are visual. And some — like the Skull DJ Booth — become legend.
In this behind-the-scenes blog, we reveal how the team at Impact Production Group (IPG) took a raw creative idea and sculpted it into one of the most iconic DJ booths ever built in Mauritius.
Because making something unforgettable starts long before event day.
Every big idea starts small : in this case, with pencil on paper.
Our design team began by sketching a skull concept that would feel bold, theatrical, and a little dangerous. We wanted to capture the fantasy of a pirate universe but blend it with the power and excitement of a live DJ set.
The vision? A booth that didn’t just support the show : it was the show.
We translated those early sketches into 3D models, where we:
- Adjusted proportions to fit AV gear and DJs comfortably
- Integrated structural support into the design
- Ran simulations for lighting, ventilation, and cable routing
Every technical need had to fit seamlessly within the creative shell.
To build the skull, we worked with lightweight metal sheets, carefully shaped and soldered to form the structure. The materials needed to be durable yet light enough for safe rigging and installation.
We combined:
- CNC-cut wood panels for precise curves and contours
- Custom metal bracing to ensure stability and support
Once the framework was in place, the surface sculpting began:
- Intricate carvings gave the skull depth and personality
- Every crack, tooth, and ridge was hand-textured for realism
Total build time: 3 weeks. Test phase: 3 days of lighting, gear testing, and structural checks.
Once the skull was ready, our tech team stepped in
We outfitted the booth with:
- Internal LED red lights for the eyes
- Backlighting to give it a floating effect at night
- Hidden FX triggers for fog
- Internal shelves, power supply, and ventilation for DJ gear
The booth was transported in sections and assembled at the venue with military precision. We used reinforced rigging and base platforms to ensure absolute safety.
Setup time: 1.5 days
Rehearsal night was electric. The lighting sequences danced with the sound. The skull glowed with life. As our technicians tested the booth, the entire stage came alive.
This wasn’t just about spectacle — it was about intention.
We built the Skull DJ Booth with these goals:
- Create emotional impact through shape, light, and scale
- Enhance the artist experience with a space that felt epic
- Deliver technical excellence without compromising aesthetics
And it worked. The booth became the signature element of the event. The moment people walked in, they pulled out their phones.
It wasn’t just a DJ booth. It was a stage, a sculpture, and a photo op — all rolled into one.
🗨️ “You know you’ve nailed it when guests line up to take selfies with a DJ booth.”
🗨️ “IPG delivered more than we expected — they gave us something people still talk about.”
- Design with emotion : People connect with stories, not specs.
- Build with purpose : Every screw, spotlight, and angle must serve the moment.
- Think long-term : We build pieces that are reusable, modular, and impactful for future events.
Whether you need a skull, spaceship or digital tunnel — the principle is the same: experience first.
