Silent Disco brings the noise.

A new musical movement is taking the nation’s dance floors by storm - the sound of silence.

Imagine being at one of the hottest nightclubs in town on a Saturday night and the place is filled to capacity.  The dance floor is packed with people swaying and grinding to the beat but something is slightly different, there is no audible music. This is the type of experience that only the Silent Disco can provide.

Rather than using a traditional speaker system, music is broadcast via a FM-transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by everyone in the crowd. It lets the attendee hear the DJ in crystal clear audio rather than getting the sound degraded by a crappy PA system or poor building acoustics. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to nothing. To add to the fun disco-goers may tune in to two or more music channels created by competing DJs, creating the delicious sight of half an audience head banging to some fast techno while the other half gets down to some slow jams.  Silent discos are also becoming increasing popular with city officials as they allow dancing to continue past noise curfews.  Did I mention that you could now have a conversation with somebody at a club without having to scream two inches from their ear?  It’s one of the many reasons these “silent clubs” are becoming very popular.  

Check it out Dallas, we’ve got a campaign going for one right now on Friday, July 22nd at the Green Elephant.  The first 100 tickets are $15 and then the price gets bumped to $21.  Hurry up!
