The Breaker Beat

She Likes To Rock

Being aware of the fact that I am forever a student of Hip hop  I’ve been questioning the significance of music knowledge and its influence on my dance. When I first started dancing ( I am still just beginning) I would repeatedly baash break beats into my head like a 7th grade bully. Though I love and greatly respect break beats(1520 Sedgwick Ave Djs are the best around, in case you didn’t know) I feel ready to mix it up a bit.

So I did a little digging and scoutin’  I found this cool mix by Kogataroo in the Armory store in P.B., San Diego (thanks Henry) Along with that, I came across some funky old beats in my dads collection(thanks pops) and believe it or not I’ve been hearing some cool 90′s jams that fully move my feet. With all these “new to me” findings I see  my rock has been changing and developing. It feels good to hear music going into my ears and then coming out of my body.

All things considered (so far) I must admit that I don’t really know much about music (whats good or what I like)   But,… I see a glimmer in the distance, burrowing through wide ranging  music, is helping me become aware of the funk in my self, in the dance, in others. And it rocks!!

Please, any bits, play lists or fave hits would be greatly appreciated. : ) Thanks.
