  • Break loose
    A-Side Breaks Vol. 3 marks another chapter in a series I’ll be dropping on a regular basis — a steady stream of break-heavy selections designed for dancers who live in that space where rhythm meets instinct.
    This volume leans into the raw, percussive energy that powers the breakin’ world: those stripped-down drum sections and groove pockets that DJs stretch out to keep the floor alive. These are the moments breakers train to, build on, and lose themselves in — the fuel behind the footwork, the shapes, the creativity, the flow.
    For Vol. 3, I went crate-deep again, pulling out joints that shaped different generations of movement culture. It’s a nod to the roots, a salute to the dancers, and a reminder that the spirit of the break is still beating strong.
    And since this series is dropping continuously, expect more heat soon — more rhythms, more textures, more reasons to hit the floor.
    Back to the raw. Back to the groove. Back to the break.

    It’s been a minute since I last served up a batch of raw breakbeats, but the energy at this year’s IBE event in Holland lit that fire again. A Side Breaks Vol. 2 is a tribute to the global dance community — a selection of B-boy and B-girl–friendly breaks, crafted for cyphers, sessions, battles, and anyone who lives for that moment when the beat drops and your body just moves.
    For those who don’t know: B-boy/B-girl breaks are the foundation of breakin’ culture. They’re the drum-heavy, groove-driven sections of funk, soul, and rare groove records that DJs isolate, loop, and extend to create that high-energy pocket dancers feed off. These breaks drive footwork, freezes, power moves, and flow — they’re the heartbeat of the dance.
    With Vol. 2, I dug back into some older nuggets, revisiting sounds that shaped generations of breakers. And trust, there’s much more on the way — deeper cuts, fresh flips, and more gems for the floor.
    Let’s get back to the essence.

  • Toegesluit (7785 remix)
    El Phoenix is a Cape Town-based Afrikaans rapper whose raw delivery, lived experience and unapologetic lyricism capture the heartbeat of the Cape Flats. He carries the torch of storytellers before him while carving out a lane rooted in honesty, community and cultural pride. His music reminds us that Afrikaans rap is not just sound—it's identity, survival and testimony.
    Short history of Afrikaans rap:
    Afrikaans rap emerged in the late 1980s and 1990s with crews like Prophets of Da City (POC) pioneering socially conscious hip hop that spoke directly to the realities of apartheid and township life. In the early 2000s, groups like Brasse Vannie Kaap (BVK) brought Kaaps slang, street humour and local flavor to the mainstream, setting the foundation for a unique Cape Hip Hop identity. Since then, Afrikaans rap has evolved into a diverse landscape where artists from different regions express pride, resistance, storytelling and celebration through their own dialects and rhythms.

    Big love and major congratulations to @youngstacpt on the release of the Oh Two 1 sneaker in collaboration with @reeboksa 🏆👟
    This one is more than merch — it’s a living tribute to Cape Town culture, history, hustle, and the spirit of home. A limited release that speaks our slang, our rhythm, our roads, our pride. The kind of storytelling you wear on your feet.
    Salute to everyone who had a hand in bringing this vision to life. The BTS journey — from sketches to sole — is now up on the Reebok 🇿🇦 YouTube channel. Trust me, go watch that. It’s heritage in motion. 🎥🔥
    Cape Town to the world. We’ve always had the sauce — now we’re just lacing it up. 🌍💙
