DJ Keebz is among the talented DJs and artists we will be working with at the upcoming Bonnaroo Silent Disco.

We previously worked with Keebz at the silent disco at Nashville’s 12th & Porter last August. During this killer event, he employed some new technology on which he had been working where the music responds the the motions of his free hands.

Keebz was also instrumental in a groundbreaking project which turned a building in Australia into a hand-gesture controlled musical instrument. The project included work and input from Intel, Will.i.am, DNSW, Justine Williams, and Spinifex Group and debuted in May 2012.

We are thrilled to be teaming up with Keebz again in two weeks. He will be performing two silent disco sets: 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Saturday, June 15 and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Sunday, June 16. Come out and get down with us and DJ Keebz!

Check the videos below for sights from the August 2012 silent disco at 12th & Porter and for a review of the music instrument building project launch in Sydney.

From South Carolina to Michigan and Tennessee to West Virginia, this weekend is shaping up as a busy one for Silent Events.

The festivities kick off today, with events taking place at Camp Barefoot in Bartow, WV, the Traverse City Summer Microbrew & Music Festival in Traverse City, MI, and finally at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC.

The EQ Silent Disco powered by Silent Events at Camp Barefoot will run from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM and will feature DJ ALX, DJ Greg D, and DJ RahBee among others. Meanwhile, DJ Filthy and DJ J Peters will provide the sounds outside on the the Myrtle Beach House of Blues deck, with the action getting underway at 11:00 PM.

Saturday will see Silent Events return to Camp Barefoot and Traverse City, but also move from Myrtle Beach to 12th & Porter in Nashville, TN.

Once again, the Camp Barefoot silent disco will run from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM and will have the likes of DJ Josati, DJ Ghost Payne, and DJ Potent Sync providing the beats. In Nashville, DJ Keebz and DJ KDSML will provide opening support for the Silent Concert featuring Freekbot, the duo featuring bassist Freekbass and award-winning DJ Tobotius. The Silent Concert will be similar to a silent disco, except for one difference: the Silent Concert will feature a live instrumentalist performing on stage along with a DJ, rather than just a lone DJ providing the music.

We hope to see you somewhere along the way this weekend. If you hit up one of our events, please say hello!

Freekbot, the duo featuring bass and groove scientist Freekbass and DMC USA DJ champion and producer Tobotius, is slated to headline the Silent Concert powered by Silent Events at Nashville’s 12th & Porter this Saturday, August 25.

The Silent Concert will be similar to a silent disco, except for one difference: the Silent Concert will feature a live instrumentalist performing on stage along with a DJ, rather than just a lone DJ providing the music.

Freekbass is no stranger to the Silent Concert concept. He performed with saxophonist Skerik at the Bear Creek Music Festival in November 2011 during a silent disco produced by Silent Events. You can view a clip from that show on YouTube.

This event is 18 and over. Tickets are currently on sale on the 12th & Porter website for $12. Showtime is 9:00 PM with doors opening at 8:00 PM.

Supporting acts will include DJ Keebz and DJ KDSML.
