- A strange and wonderful use of RF technology here, everyone is wearing headphones and dancing to some kick-ass tunes off someone’s Mac at the far end (not visible).
If you aren’t wearing the headphones, you are watching as a whole bunch of people throw their hands in the air at the same time.
This was in London’s Carnaby Street yesterday evening – it was lovely. You could just walk into the enclosure, get given your headphones, dance for a while, and then return the ‘phones on your way out. There were a few vari-lights up too, you can see one in the top left of the pic!
The tunes included remixes of Obama’s “Yes We Can” speech, and SL2’s ancient hit “On a Ragga Tip”. Pointless Trivia alert: SL2 named themselves after a London bus route.

Hi LJ
Was this like one of those FlashMob type things or a publicity type thing as everyone seems to be wearing the same type headphones? *curious*
If it was Lee Dorsey’s Obamas speach mix then its superb track http://www.tanosokolow.com/yeswecan.html <<< link if some dont know it.

I was under the impression it was a publicity thing for Silent Disco, although no one was handing any leaflets out. It was organised very well though.
Thanks for the Obama Link, that was the track

Thinking of it I love the idea… would look like the crowd was a bunch of “nutters” dancing to no music, unless you had the headphones!
Most welcome on the track.
