ROE Visual and Solotech Groove with Spiegelworld's DISCOSHOW ROE Visual collaborated with Solotech to bring DISCOSHOW -- a dazzling example of immersive entertainment -- to life. Blending LED technology with the infectious energy of a 1970s dance floor, DISCOSHOW seamlessly merges theatrical storytelling with the vibe of a modern nightclub. The collaboration began when Spiegelworld's senior VP of production, Mike Bauder, approached Aaron Beck, Solotech's business development manager in Las Vegas, with a bold vision for a one-of-a-kind production. "DISCOSHOW was conceived as an interactive, theatrical experience that takes audiences on an express journey back to the 1970s and places them at the center of a disco celebration, surrounded by electrifying visuals and pulsing music, creating a never-before-seen environment for entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip," the company says. Building on a successful 2021 trial in New York City, where low-resolution LED floors and mirrored walls were used, Solotech was tasked with enhancing and elevating the concept for its full-scale debut. For this ambitious project, the central challenge was to design an LED dance floor that could deliver stunning visuals while enduring the demands of a live, interactive environment. It needed to support the weight and movement of an active audience, accommodate stage props, and remain resilient against spills and liquids, all without compromising performance or durability. Solotech and Spiegelworld evaluated several LED solutions during the design phase, but ROE Visual's Black Marble quickly stood out as the clear choice for its quality, support, and reliability in high-profile applications. On top of that, Solotech and ROE Visual's long-standing partnership was key to overcoming the complexities of this design. Specifically engineered for demanding environments, ROE Visual's Black Marble panels feature an IP65 rating, allowing for wet cleaning to maintain pristine conditions even under heavy traffic. With a load capacity of up to 2,000kg/sq.m. these durable panels were uniquely suited to withstand the weight and movement of an interactive dance floor, ensuring both safety and performance. While the LED dance floor serves as the heart of DISCOSHOW, the surrounding Jasper LED walls bring the environment to life. The four 50'-by-8' walls, built with ROE Visual's Jasper panels, offer seamless, high-resolution displays that wrap the audience in vibrant visuals. From dynamic urban landscapes to spinning disco balls and pulsating light shows, the Jasper panels immerse guests in the essence of 1970s disco culture. To achieve the visuals that define DISCOSHOW, advanced LED processing from Brompton Technology served as a reliable solution. Six Brompton 4K Tessera SX40 processors, coupled with XD 10GB distribution units, powered both the Jasper LED walls and the Black Marble dance floor. ROE Visual worked closely with Solotech to address the technical complexities of this innovative permanent installation. By customizing the subframing system and resolving challenges related to local electrical codes, the team delivered solutions tailored to the project's specific demands. On-site expertise and remote support ensured every element was executed with precision, laying the foundation for a performance space designed to inspire and endure. "For me, it all comes down to the support and how ROE stands behind the product they sell. Throughout this project, ROE went above and beyond to support Solotech, Spiegelworld, and the construction teams countless times," says Aaron Beck, business development manager at Solotech.
