Somerville’s annual intergalactic dance party returned Saturday night as Project MUM took over the space under McGrath Highway to pay tribute to George Clinton & the P-Funk Mothership. Hundreds of dancers in their best Funkadelic space attire boogied to funk spun by DJs Flack, Wayne & Wax, Axel Foley, Pace and Brother Cleve. The usually vacant urban space underneath a highway overpass was transformed by out of this world lighting (and disco ball) by Todd Lewis Sargent, a video space mashup by VJ Dziga, and the return of last year’s Space Girls and Alienettes, led by Carey Foster and Peneny Pinnette.
