'One man's dream can hold dominion over the entire world, 
for one who dedicates his life to the forging of a single sword. 
While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, 
other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. 
Dreams breathe life into men, 
and can cage them in suffering. 
Men live and die by their dreams, 
but long after they've been abandoned, 
they still smolder deep in men's hearts. 
Some see nothing more than life and death. 
They are dead! 
For they have no dreams'

B15. Alex Barnett

When the culture of hip-hop first began to take shape in the 1970s, 
it consisted of at least four fundamental elements: 
deejaying, emceeing, graffiti, and breaking.

Breaking, popularly known as breakdancing today, was created 
in the Bronx in New York City. The term breakdancing as it’s used 
in the media often mixes New York’s b-boying and West Coast–developed dance styles like popping, locking, and the electric boogaloo. B-boy dance moves are influenced by a number of cultural sources, including African-American and Afro-Caribbean music, kung fu, and capoeira.

Breaking reached peak popularity in the mid-1980s, when a 
number of films showcased the moves and the youth who created it. 
Breaking began as a mode of self-expression; it was a part of a larger culture that reflected the social, economic, and political conditions of the youth at that time. Now, decades later, as the style and moves of breaking have changed, so have some of its traditions.

have a listen to this mini selection of vintage grooves from its humble beginnings.
