The
weekend started on a high note with popular Spanish DJ Wally Lopez and Indie DJ
E-603 at Body English Nightclub & Afterhours on Friday, Jan. 4. The two
turned up the noise at Body English with high-energy sets. Wally Lopez spun
several hits including his ever-popular single “Can’t Stop the Beat” and E-603
spun the pop music inspired set that he’s known for as the crowd begged for
more.
Vinyl
was also bumping that night as Las Vegas tribute band High Voltage took the
stage. The group played a set of AC/DC songs as patrons rocked out and sang
along to the covers of their favorite songs by the legendary band.
The
next night, Body English Nightclub & Afterhours kept the party going with
electronic music DJs The Junkies on Saturday, Jan. 5. The notorious Canadian
duo delivered a set that included several genres from deep, soulful house music
to techno. Among the crowd was hard
alternative band Otherwise. The group decided to stop by the club after playing
a show in Las Vegas and will be back at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino as openers
for Stone Sour and Papa Roach at The Joint on Friday, Feb. 15.
Empire
Records hit the stage that night at Vinyl. The group of six played several
1990s covers including artists like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Green Day and more to
an excited crowd.
Wrapping
up the weekend, hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash performed for Body English
Nightclub & Afterhours’ industry night on Sunday, Jan. 6. The Rock and Roll
Hall of Famer walked the red carpet at 12:30 a.m. then hit the stage to a
packed house as he yelled, “Somebody out there make some noise!” The crowd went
wild as the legend spun several throwbacks, jazz, funk and everything
in-between including “It’s Tricky” by Run-D.M.C., “Push It” by Salt-n-Pepa,
“Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-a-Lot and much more.
