Silence Please presents: Tokyo Whisper

A tribute to Japanese ongaku kissa culture TYPEFUNK (Nightfreq / SDC) Purveyor of disco and funk—Yokchi Chang, aka Typefunk, has been DJing clubs since before he was legally able to get into them. Born in Ecuador, raised in Miami, and now based in Salt Lake City, Chang’s parties have delivered worldly and stylized disco to the dance-starved valley since 2008. Founder of the production company, Nightfreq, Chang has hosted artists and acts from all over the world including France's Onra and London’s Horse Meat Disco. The success of his high energy parties has solidified Nightfreq as a staple of underground music in Utah. While he’s expanded the reach of Nightfreq’s productions, his flagship party, Social Disco Club, is a testament to his love of NYC’s Paradise Garage and the celebratory days of early disco—a time where everyone was welcome on the dancefloor It was on a pilgrimage through Japan to explore his Japanese roots in 2017, where Chang’s passion for high fidelity sound was first ignited. Since then, he’s collected vintage Klipsch and audiophile gear with the hopes of opening Salt Lake City’s first audiophile bar. As a DJ, Chang’s sets are transportive, weaving disco in and out of genres from German new wave to Japanese city pop. You can expect to hear immersive rhythms, groove-driven basslines and familiar melodies that feel both timeless and ephemeral.
