I actually own a Traktor Kontrol S2 MK3, it's really perfect for small-scale parties: Good build quality with excellent jogging wheels, compact and mobile without a cramped layout, great minimum selection of features that you actually use, and excellent value for money. It's this combination that actually made me pick this controller over the Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3.
same here, i bought to play in the nature with out generator or powerbanks, super confortable to set up, agree with you? for small scale events its perfect
I'm just seeing this now! I've been doing silent disco hikes and dances in nature for a while now... I also have a Meetup group (same name) and planned on doing this during Covid, but there were too many restrictions for how many people could attend. I'm definitely going to start this up again soon... maybe with a second dj (2 channel headsets). More dancing in nature ahead!
In case you ever need more than 2 hours (or want to use more demanding gear), there's portable AC power banks. They have regular AC outlets that you can plug your laptop charger to. They also often have USB outputs
Definitely have wipes ready for the headphones 🎧 plus I’m definitely using the prime go. No laptop needed. I would use it with a laptop lift. Plus get a solar power battery unit. Plus get a small canopy for glair. Plus a backpack chair. The table set up is dope
I use chexology the headphones I use have a NFC chip reader in them to scan when I check them out $609 will get you the iPad reader and 5000 check ins $300 to renew every year. $60 deposit never lost a headphone
I do similar events with battery powered speakers - I'm using Yorkville EXM series speakers and I have a Goal Zero Yeti 150 for extra battery life for my laptop.
Mobile power house with speaker set up is kinda the same money paid around 3k, for around 100 people it's insane. Hyundai benzine 4kw and active speaker set up
Hi Ean thanks for the content as always. I switched to Trakor because of your channel! I see that you're mixing wearing the Silent Disco Headphones, which makes me think that you're not using the CUE function to listen to tracks before brining them into the mix. In order for me to still be able to CUE tracks, I imagine that I will have to use normal headphones plugged into the mixer still? Thanks
I really want to do this, but my experience with Silent Disco headphones is that they DON'T have great low end response. They sound like very-very low data rate (96Kbps) mp3's. Where did you get yours? What brand/make are they?
We've vetted them pretty closely and they sound great and are relatively sturdy compared to other systems we've seen. You can find them here: store.djtechtools.com/products/silent-disco-3-channel-headphones-package?_pos=2&_sid=b6315678d&_ss=r

40 USD per headphone, that's not that much if you start looking around on the internet for a pair of headphones. There won't be many options in that price range, especially also have them be wireless. 800 USD is a big investment, sure. But the price per headphone is honestly not at all bad.
My point is that if you add all the costs for doing a gig like this, ur looking at a 1000 dollar plus investment AT LEAST. PLUS controller, laptop, etc. Not “affordable” for the median DJ today. All that said, I fully support the idea and its great to get rolling again after COVID. Just not affordable at all, and given that he’s actually selling them, a call out on this is warranted.
Nice video, still I am a bit sceptical at this concept. The event showed in this clip was rightfully staged. Maybe it is doable in the summer for real, but my experience is that it needs to be highly organized to get people dancing privately. Music is not enough. The social element is strong and in an event of scilent private disco, this still is a very strange element. Yeah it works for a crowd who already knows each other like Ian's yoga glass mates ;) The bubble effect is hard to tackle on its own. Good luck trying though. I have done this in a spinning class but that too is highly pre-organized.
Ean is always in the flow. Entrepreneurial and passionate about music. Thanks for sharing

Can I use that Traktor controller to run Serato?
@@mangadolo You can run the controller in midi mode so it should be mappable in Serato.

Possible to turn it to a small business?
I just watched this now, still learned a lot. Very inspiring ! Thanks!
Encouraging stuff, Ean. Thanks for sorting it out and sharing with us.
Yesss!! Outdoor ecstatic dance has been one of my most essential tools through the pandemic! So glad DJTT is making it easy! Thanks Ean!!
Good idea! Thanks Ean! My best!
What a lovely guy.
Doing the same but with the prime go and small table

Any recommendations of headsets that provide top notch quality

the Jackery is what I've been using!
Awesome, Ean! Great to see how much things has grown - been a long time since those days when you roomed with Tina in SF! :) Congrats on everything!
Great to see you Ean!
Ballantines used to throw some Silent Disco Partys,I love the concept!
I want to purchase this all setup

Awesome tips. We've got staff on DJTT who love the Prime Go, for sure a great option with that built in battery...
@@djtechtools less to bring.
Great setup. Passing this on.
Great idea!!! So, how do you make sure no one steals your headphones?

I really feel like this is my setting going forward to make my contribution to dance. Clubs just weren’t for me
Nice to see this guys face again. I thought that he died or smth. LOL
Keep the good work Ean!
Love this video, but you should have named "How Ean throws a *Silent Disco*"
yeah i hate silent discos now they need to do a normal outdoor rig vid
why dont you stream it online and people can use their phone to hear your mix ???
How can I buy this…?

Quelle brillante idée avec pas grand chose je veux dire peut coûteux.
An awesome event to do drugs and not have to talk to anybody.. an introvert's dream

Curious to know, how good do these type of investments add valuable?
I love u Mr Ean Golden
really nice video
How do people experience wearing the headphones when dancing “fiercely”? Do the headphones risk to fall off? Cheers!
So glad to see you back, Ean!
One question: how do you charge the headphones?
You can find the answer at the technical details in the link:
Battery: Rechargeable 500 mAh lithium polymer (Li-Po), charging cable included
@@oraphinha Thanks! I was more interested in if I have to plug 80 headphones at home, or there is like a bulk method of some sorts
A few things...
1. A great way to boost your power availability is a laptop power brick like the Halo bolt form amazon $129
2. You lost me at silent disco.
3. If your not using a PA how or why would you need permission (permit) to be in a park. It's a park.
What if someone stolen a headphone. Who do recover the cost??
That’s true! Lol
Often times a good way to prevent this is to accept a basic piece of physical collateral - like an ID, phone, or something else - when you hand out the headphones.
@@djtechtools yup! This way you got a piece of them in case they try to steal your stuff. Plus collect their e-mail and have your e-mail so they can contact you
Until a year ago, we threw silent disco parties with 800+ people. Really looking forward to when that’s possible again 💔
(heartphones on instagram)
wow - that's a a lot of headphones! How did you manage charging all of them?
@@djtechtools Fortunately, the club we do the parties at bought the headphones and is also taking care of the (cumbersome) charging and desinfecting now. They built a charging/cleaning rack for that. So did the people the rented them from before. Our record is around 1200 at an open air event ✌️
Was it the same brand of headphones ?
@@Gagarinprojectofficial As in the video? Yes. Fairly certain that there is only one plant in China dumping these out for the whole world 😉
There was an earlier model without the coloured LED rings showing the chosen channel though.
So I went to silent disco party but i forget to charge my wirless drinks. A least my personal disco lights was working.
Lol!
Been wanting some of these forever! Thanks for carrying these hope to get some soon!
Hahaha! 😂 can't believe you made it on so called pandemic!
Whats even better is ditch the laptop and pioneer ddj for a Deno Prime go which does not require a laptop and has a 4 plus hour battery life .
The cost is kind of absurd for all but the a few rich DJ's to be honest
“Affordable”
Charge a small fee to rent the headphones to attendees. It’ll be paid off within a few events.
40 USD per headphone, that's not that much if you start looking around on the internet for a pair of headphones. There won't be many options in that price range, especially also have them be wireless. 800 USD is a big investment, sure. But the price per headphone is honestly not at all bad.

It's a shame that the headphones are not around the ear. That makes the listening pleasure and the wearing comfort considerably worse.
So u donating these headphones 🎧 😒
Come on. Of course he isn’t. Go beg somewhere else.
Every Raver: no.
dafuq is that, can't literally feel the music that way. lockdown mix or something...
Nobody...
@Djtechtools... can't wait
This channel took a very wrong turn
1st comment(never mind)
I like how you don't talk about charging 80 plus wireless headphones lol
