The Silent Disco
Presented by 433FM.com
A Dutch theatre producer and a television director combined forces
in 2002 to found The Silent Disco: A disco in which everybody who joins gets
a wireless headphone and a radio DJ show gives a tour through very different
music styles. Meanwhile The Silent Disco is very successful in Holland and
abroad!
The Silent Disco is runned by a company that’s named after the initial
radio frequency used in their first tour: 433fm.com. Starting with a few
dozen headphones the company now has thousands of headphones, allowing several
shows in different places at the same time.
The virtual radio station of 433fm presents non stop music. No jingles
that poison your ears, but sheer music that make you dance. Apart from the
few top40 songs that are good, 433fm offers the world in only the best of
music. So far 433fm.com presents shows in Dutch, French, Spanish, German
and Portuguese.
THE DOUBLE DIGITAL SILENT DISCO
A new element is The Double Digital Silent Disco. This has been
experimented last year and now has an international tour. In The Double
Digital Silent Disco two channels are presented. People can actually switch
instantly between the music offered. In some festivals the DJ line up
promises an interesting battle. The audience can rigorously choose to
stay with the DJ or listen to the other music.
THE DJ’S
In The Double Digital Silent Disco two resident DJ’s are prominently
present: NO DJ (Nico Okkerse) an DJ OD (Michael Minten). Okkerse is a former
street musician, actor, theatre producer, culture politics advisor, singer,
bartender, driver and bookkeeper. He has been involved with music since
birth and active on and on since singing in a children’s church choir.
NO DJ is known for his radical mixes and very special pick out of the widest
range possible. Don't be surprised if you get the hardcore of early swing
from the twenties or drum & bass of last month! Alternative, world,
electro, hardstyle, gabber, Dixieland, he loves it all. His warm radio voice
is famous and seduces to consider the wicked introductions offer.
Minten is a former radio producer, television director and editor,
rock & roll band tour manager, rock band sound engineer and dub mixer.
He has been involved in music since memory. DJ OD loves hard beats, but
be prepared to meet his Balkan roots. DJ OD is a party master, he moves
the crowd like no one else. His only handicap is his look-a-like: Ricky
Martin.
SUMMER PROGRAMMING 2005
Active all year, this summer The Silent Disco tours all over Europe
and even abroad. In Holland The Silent Disco is present for 50 days on
the theatre festival De Parade and on many other events. Switzerland,
Belgium, France, Spain, Germany and Canada festivals are programming the
show. The Double Digital Silent Disco tours on Flippaud Festival (Italy),
Glastonbury Festival (England), Dance Valley and Lowlands (Holland), Electric
Picknick (Ireland) and others.
