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.
