“The most hi-tech dance experience ever” – The Independent

SILENT NOIZE

Silent Noize is the ultimate social way of clubbing!

On entering a Silent Noize party, it may feel a little weird, but the time you leave, you will have found a new best friend on the dancefloor! No shouting is needed to talk, just drop the headphone on one ear for a bit.

The interaction between people at Silent Noize, trying to convince their friends to change to the other channel, or miming going for a wee is hilarious to watch. The sing-alongs unite the dance floor, and the confusion of what other people are listening too causes random behaviour…. People who have not danced in years leave our shows dripping with sweat…. And we DO love the kissing couples, listening to different channels...

▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼

THE IGLOO

Step inside the Igloo and you step inside a unique total immersed audio-visual performance, combining cutting edge 360 degree, photo realistic, 3D environments and life-like surround sound. Expect hours of fully immersive films and computer generated environments of pure randomness.

The Igloo allows you to be within the film, it’s a totally new experience to turn your head, walk around and still be watching another section of the same film.

Make sure you experience it for yourself at the Igloo and Below arena.
