The history of silverback productions, where it has come from and where it is going:

Silverback productions has been in operation since 1999, with small to medium productions and the development of a customer base. The founders of Vibrations performance audio, Mr J.M. Lawrie-Ross, made the decision to grow and become the leader in the audio/entertainment/staging and production industry. Hence the birth of SILVERBACK PRODUCTIONS.

Company registration in July 2004 saw the step from an idea to reality, having already provided its services to the corporate world and private sector we could only be heading in the right direction.

Having being involved with THE NATIONAL PORTS AUTHORITY OF SOUTH AFRICA, PRIMI PIATTI GROUP, BILLY THE BUMS, NEWSCAFE, ETC for several years, providing entertainment for sports days, long service awards, calander parties and a host of other events, as well as providing DJ’s, sound and intelligent lighting systems for product launches, live productions, exhibitions and and and plus plus plus……

We also involve ourselves with in house training of up and coming DJ’s as well as sound roadies, from all communities. Although we don’t provide any full time employment yet, we are hoping in the near future with the growth of our company, to employ staff that we have trained and worked with.
Silverback is proud to mention they have worked with and provided sound and lighting for some of South Africa’s Home Grown Stars, such as JAY, Kobelo, Loyeso, Lauren Laing, The Black Jacks and SJ (Love Jones) both in JHB and DBN. I have had the privileged to have played along side Rodger Goode, Mimi Kasaris, Sweets Sarah, Skywalker, Gareth Cliff, Ian F, Sasha Martingo, Nicole Fox, Fresh and a host of other top DJ’s.
Silverback Productions scope of work includes, staging, lighting, effects, PA systems big and small, music and party entertainment, Jacuzzi hire, compares and DJ’s for all events, ensuring that your function will have “performance entertainment.”
Silverback Production believes in providing a solution, nothing is a problem. We believe in team work and combined input. Our equipment is kept in top condition helping to ensure reliability and trouble free service. Equipped with top end gear, we not only strive to deliver, we aim to please. We are also listed with a number of hotels and wedding venues as DJ and Sound suppliers, having worked all over the country at over 400 weddings, corporate events and venue functions.

 

 

Dormac KZN

2008 end of year company party, going down as one of the best functions Dormac has ever hosted, with over 600 guests from all over the world.

 

Quote :“The function was professional and was a perfect example of being able to cater for our formal clients as well as being fun for those that wanted to have a great time.

I thought that the DJ played a major role been able to read the crowd and the dancers also got people onto the dance floor.”
