DJ Sam Spiegel will hit the Bonnaroo Silent Disco from 10:30 PM to 12:30 AM on Thursday, June 13 and again from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Saturday, June 15.

Spiegel was in 2008 name Hot Star Magnet on Rolling Stone’s “Hot List” due in large part to his work with N.A.S.A., the duo featuring himself and DJ Zegon. Their 2009 debut album included guest appearances by the likes of Kanye West, John Frusciante, David Byrne, and George Clinton. His original works have also appeared across a variety of media. His music can be found in feature films like Whip It, Cop Out, and Jackass 3D and video games such as EA Skate 2 and Where the Wild Things Are. Television commercials for ESPN, Wendy’s and Toyota have also included Spiegel productions. Among his album production credits are tracks for Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Crystal Castles.

Spiegel obviously will bring a wide array experiences with him when he hits the silent disco and we are excited to see what he has in store for Bonnaroo. Be sure to catch one of his two sets.

The video below is a commercial for Nike: Boom, which features a track produced by Spiegel.

For the eighth year in a row, Silent Events will power the famed Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Silent Disco. The silent disco concept first appeared in America in 2005 at Bonnaroo when Ryan Dowd, owner of Silent Events, was put in charge of running the silent disco. Due to his resounding success he has been brought back year after year to produce what is being called “the most exciting attraction of Bonnaroo”.

Returning back to where it all began, Silent Events is excited for what 2013 has in store. Bonnaroo has announced its full silent disco tent lineup, a slate that includes DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Logic, and a DJ set from Passion Pit. Also scheduled to appear are Atta Unsar, DJ Keebz, Jared Dietch, Jonny Santos, MSSL CMMND, DJ Sam Spiegel of N.A.S.A, Vacationer, and YLUV.
