In the past i’ve always put B-Boying in the boot next to the spare tyre on the cultural road trip, being put off by wak demonstrations at piss poor hip hop events. I mean its cool, but it’s never really registered as innovative for me.

THAT IS UNTIL… All this changed when i caught up with Mason, who along with a huge list of other achievements has, in the past 5 years become without contest the man of bboy documentation world wide with his Seven Shadows series.

What i realized, my assumption that B-Boys we all about the classic moves is the equivalent of thinking that graffiti is all about classic letter form, very wrong.

In truth, B-Boy’s today are pushing boundaries in ways you literally couldn’t imagine, defying the mechanics of the human body and expressing a style more akin to Mortal Combat than the classic breakers circle’s that sit in most our minds.

The 7 top breakers landed in Melbs today as part of the Red Bull BC ONE tour and will be holding demonstrations around Melbs.

Its worth heading down to at least one of these events. I’d recommend the espy show on Friday, cause i cant see how St Jeromes is going to work in that small space with the uneven floor and Boutique will be chock full of the very last of the metro’s bugging the DJ for sneaky sound system and stinking up the place with flouro t-shirts.

That said, I’ll probably be at all of them.

Here’s an exclusive review of the Print Show exhibitions which launched at No Vacancy Gallery Melbourne, tonight (13th). A permanent exhibition of limited edition giclee prints, 1/20 signed by a group of Australias finest artists and international guest Acorn. $180 each.

Running off the back of last years successful charity event, the second installment of the show will once again feature the works of up and coming young Australian artists using the blank canvases of Skateboards and Snowboards to display their expressions.

Artists have donated their pieces and all proceeds raised through the sales will once again go the CHILL organization. A non-profit organization that takes under privileged youth to our snowy mountains for a week of adventure and learning.

Hey people, here’s reminder that Camo has another Dubstep event on tomorrow night, featuring none other than Loefah with Pritchard and Spacek on the support. Get in there before it becomes “cool”, even better get in there before 9-10 and smashit with us on $1 beer then yell like fools when he drops Disko Rekah.

Also if your out tonight Camo and Pritchard are playing at Workshop, think they’re planning on some funk, afro brazil, and rare grooves, but who knows.

Props to Drew for the flyer. See you there.
