[8/15] Preview: Peligrosa and Bombón at Empire Control Room & Garage

PeligrosaTonight is the night Austin-based Latin DJ collective Peligrosa takes over the Empire Control Room & Garage patio. While that alone is news worthy to Latin electronic music fans and EDM peeps, tonight the party is getting “turnt up” Houston style with Bombón. This party is a long overdue and doors are opening an hour earlier if that tells you anything.

At first look, Bombón appears to be the doppelgänger to Peligrosa. The tropical dance party purveyors are composed of DJs Gracie Chavez, Navó, OG Bobby Trill and Panchitron. They too have their monthly Latin tropical throw down in Houston at Fox Hollow, much like Peligrosa at Empire. They have garnered their own online buzz since their inception with more focus on remixing H-Town classics, of course. Be ready to enjoy screwmbia, moombahton and more.

Special guest percussionist Chappy Luna of Los Skarnales and The Suffers fame will be joining Bombón tonight. La Comadre Mel will be in the house. ‘Quito will take your picture.

Empire Control Room & Garage is located at 606 E. 7th Street. Event will take place on the patio. Doors open at 9 p.m. 21+ welcome. $5 cover. Visit the Facebook event page here.

On Friday, October 5, Peligrosa returns to Frontier Bar for a Latin tropical (pronounced tro-pee-khal) throw down. Known for the biggest Latin electronic dance parties in Austin, Peligrosa always brings the best of electro-cumbia, tropical, moombahton, salsa and hip hop. While Peligrosa is made up of multiple DJs and a photographer, only members Pagame and Manolo Black will be in the house Friday night.

Joining Peligrosa are tropical dance party extraordinaires Bombón. Established in Houston in 2010, Bombón is Space City’s answer to Peligrosa. The collective is composed of DJs Gracie Chavez, Navó, OG Bobby Trill y Panchitron. Be excited as this is a rare Austin appearance for Bombón, but hopefully that will change.

Frontier Bar is located at Webberville Rd. 21+ admitted free. $10 cover for 18+. Party from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. Ladies get complimentary “Vod-Boms” from 9 p.m. – 10 p.m. in honor of special guest Bombón. Visit the event post on Facebook here.
