And for more What the Float, hit up Mike Ciriaco‘s video coverage of A FLOAT Through Time:
Excerpt from the full article:
“‘What The Float’ is a dance party, its a chance to make new friends, there’s a lot of heart, there’s a story we’re telling,” explained Nick Ley, a member of the Los Angeles-based silent disco “What The Float.”
Every month, WTF’s rotating team of DJs host a thematic dancing tour through a different LA neighborhood. Each of these events features glowing headphones pumping out curated playlists that reflect the iconic nature of each enclave. This month, Ley presents “A Float Through Time,” which spotlights the rich cultural history of Korea Town.
“A lot of K-town was developed in the ’20s and ’30s,” said Ley, standing against a graffitied wall in an alley off Wilshire Blvd. “So, a lot of the architecture you see is from back then and its very classic. One of the places we danced past was the Brown Derby, which was a historic, iconic restaurant that tells the story of Hollywood. When we were dancing outside of it, I made sure we played some electro-swing music to pay homage to the time period. It’s one of those details we try to include to make sure that the music we play matches up with the environment you’re dancing through.”
