BeatBox DC held it’s inaugural community dance and art event at the 2016 H Street Festival on Saturday, September 17, 2016.  The Atlas Armada debuted a fantastic new kinetic art sculpture made from up-cycled materials, affectionately called “Inky the Roctopus.”

Inky was accompanied all day by an incredibly talented line-up of funk and house music DJs, including:
