The day after Thanksgiving when my pants were just a wee toooooo tight, I knew I had to get out the house and work off that stuffing and yams. The solution came in the form of Ill Vibe Collective's Bodyrock party. One of the longest running dance parties of its kind returned to the M Room last Friday with a little help from Freshout Media. When I say 'of its kind', I mean an event that is truly like a house party - bodies squeezed into a tight, but comfortable space rockin' out to a smorgasbord of multigenre rhythms. The Ill Vibe crew are behind the wheels the majority of the time. Once in awhile special guests stop by to do a little something, and last week it was Skeme Richards, the Philly bred and raised Rock Steady Crew DJ that keeps party people vibin' until early morning hours. Some asses were planted at the bar, some were planted at the tables eating more grub (not me!), but most were sweatin' it out on the dancefloor to classic hip-hop, reggae, house, soul, R&B (not sure who played it, but props for Amerie's "Hate2LoveU") and an ounce of breakbeats. The bboys/bgirls did what they do - creating a circle to get down, show off and have a few rounds of friendly battles. Bodyrock is definitely back in effect and I hope it stays that way - I need to lose a few more pounds and dancing is way more appealing and cheaper than going to the gym. Ill Vibe Collective
