“When you start something like this, it’s easy to see only the challenges,” said producer Brian Johnson, in a news release. “But then you blink your eyes and it’s two years later and there’s just this huge community around you, supporting you. We’re blown away and grateful every month for the incredible energy we’ve seen for Silent Disco.”
Silent Disco attendees don a pair of illuminated headphones playing multiple genres and decades by three live DJs. The red station, featuring DJ John Chapel, plays modern hip-hop. The blue station, featuring DJ Sexbox, plays ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. The green station, featuring DJ Kim L, plays EDM.
“Silent Disco is easier to experience than explain but once attendees try it, there’s a light that goes off!,” Johnson said. “It’s so encouraging because we see such a large and diverse group of people, ages and lifestyles. Come for the dancing but stay for the people!”
Disco-goers can flip between stations to find the song or DJ they want to listen and dance to, making the experience individualized for each person. While looking around Yellow Cab, people can spot others who are listening to the same music based on the color lit up on their headphones.
