Somewhere in between a dance party and sacred ceremony, Body Rock ATX has become a monthly magnet for hip-hop heads and funkateers who want to drop their inhibitions, shake off their stress, and uplift your soul by getting down. Emceed by Tiger Lily and Chaka Mpeanaji of Riders Against the Storm with beats and grooves from DJ Chorizo Funk, Body Rock ATX has been movin’ booties since 2010 – first at the Sahara Lounge, now at Empire Control Room. Not relying on kinetic energy and sweaty self-expression, organizers keep it fresh with theme nights focusing on influential artists like Prince, A Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, and Stevie Wonder.
