500-person capacity club, SILO is to open in New York City next year

A new club SILO will be opening in New York City next year.

Built in a converted hangar, the venue has a 500-person capacity and is based in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

SILO has been created by the team behind the Secret Loft parties who started hosting underground parties from a former auto garage in Williamsburg.

The club will open on February 10 with NYSocialBee's party STUNTSZ featuring Mike Servito, KIA and Special Guest.

The club shares on its website that it will be “representing the vast universe of dance music and the cultures and communities” of Brooklyn.

SILO add that it's aiming for an “energy that will permeate the dance floor and an ethos that lends itself to the open-minded exploration of sound.”

Designed to create the “ultimate multi-sensory experience” the club has a custom Danley sound system and a projection rig.

Last month, a new 3,000 square foot venue, Virgo, announced it will be opening on Manhattan's Lower East Side.

Virgo was named after the star sign of co-founder Thatcher Shultz, has yet to confirm an opening date — but early concept art shows a "wild" interior, with LED walls, a purple concrete bar, infinity mirrors and even a carpeted room for DJs to play through an independent audio system hook up to the back of the venue.
