​Every Thursday night, Revelers Hall in Dallas’ Bishop Arts District pulses with the electrifying rhythms of Branoofunck—a dynamic duo redefining the live hip-hop experience. From 10 PM to 1 AM, the pair blend hip hop beats and dance jams with live percussion, creating an immersive soundscape.

The group is the brainchild of two Dallas artists: DJ Menace, a Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer with decades of experience behind the decks, and Medrick “Medz” Greely, a versatile drummer known for his dynamic live energy and deep musicality. Together, they fuse the essence of old-school hip-hop with live instrumentation—Menace spins iconic records and cuts sharp transitions, while Medz lays down thick, funk-infused drum grooves in real time.

DJ Menace’s career spans multiple eras of hip-hop and includes collaborations with major national acts. His sharp technical skills and reverence for the genre’s foundational sounds make him a staple in Dallas’ music history. Meanwhile, Greely brings a background not just in hip-hop, but also funk, soul, and jazz—his drumming style adding a raw, organic pulse to each performance.

Their Thursday night residency at Revelers Hall—an eclectic venue known for its nightly live music and intimate vibe—has become a weekly pilgrimage for music lovers, dancers, and Dallas locals looking for something real. More than just a show, each Branoofunck set feels like a celebration: an analog love letter to hip-hop’s golden age, reimagined for the now. Find them making people dance every Thursday night until June 27 in Bishop Arts. You can also catch them on Sundays at Armoury DE.
