ABOUT

You’re in the middle of the tankwa karoo desert, having a blast.

But how hot is this party, really ?

The Sound Police are here to help !


To support (and improve on) Afrikaburn’s “sound policy”, we're bringing a GIANT decibel meter to the playa.

Mounted on a mobile scissor lift, it will travel to where the party is, rise up in the air, and support musical vehicles and stages while letting dancers know how hot the party really is.



The Sound Police will be built around a 4’500kg scissor lift, paneled with LED-studded wooden sheets. And when we say LED-studded, we mean it: with 6,400 individually addressable LEDs (which means we are using half a kilometer of LED strings, hand-mounting each one in its own socket)


Of course the show will go waaaay beyond decibel readings, but ssshhhh ?? let's not reveal too much ahead.
