is not only a sport. Breakdancing is an art. Breakdancing is entertainment
and fascinating. Watch 16 breakdancers from as far as Brazil to
Korea compete against one another in a contest that will surely
be seeing bone-jarring, gravity-defying and body-contortionist moves.
This is the ultimate hip-hop dance competition. Surprisingly, this
competition was dominated by Asians or seemingly Asian-looking guys.
The winner came from France but looks Asian. |

They call their music electro-soul. Like the three very different
individuals who make up Unklejam, it's loud, colourful and funky
but thoughtful too, with instant pop hooks and a heart full of soul.
Listen hard and you'll hear echoes of P-funk, the sweet sound of
classic soul mixing with 80s electro-pop, all with an edge that's
totally contemporary, immediately commercial, yet oddly hard to
place. It doesn't sound like anything else around.
'Love Ya' is unadulterated fun. With its Rich Harrison style production,
it's call to shake it on the dancefloor. Carried along by a Prince-
esque falsetto, its posturing and bravado are worthy of Rick James.
The songs hard-edge grooves surely announce the return of the Super
Freak. Putting the fun back in the funk they are a much needed breath
of fresh air and counterpoint to all the serious looking skinny
indie kids littering the airwaves.
