English term or phrase: Headphone Disco

***Headphone Disco*** was set up by DJ’s, is run by DJ’s and as such we ensure that every party, without exception, is a great one. Styles vary among our small collective of DJs from rock n’ roll to retro classics and from cutting edge electronica to hip hop. Musically, if you want it, our DJs will deliver it.
A simple concept with a spectacular effect. Take a room full of clubbers, arm them all with a set of wireless headphones, have two separate DJ’s broadcast to them live via two dedicated FM channels and watch the utterly surreal spectacle that unfolds. A mass of humanity dancing and singing along to what appears to everyone else to be….complete silence. Welcome to the hugely popular phenomenon that is, “Headphone Disco”.

我觉得直译成“耳机迪斯科”似乎不太妥当，因为文中有这么一句：Styles vary among our small collective of DJs from rock n’ roll to retro classics and from cutting edge electronica to hip hop.
不知道各位同仁有没有更好的译法呢？谢谢！

耳机风暴迪斯科俱乐部 (Headphone Disco)

Explanation:
长了点，如果你觉得实在不想用“耳机迪斯科”的话，可以考虑这么处理。一般来说，这种proper name是可以不翻译的。

从下文的解释可以看出，这种俱乐部是大家都戴着耳机跳迪斯科，外界听来悄无声息，参与者耳边却是汹涌澎湃，故名风暴。
