BREAK SPACE

BREAK SPACE was a collaboration between Concrete Waves and Paramount House Hotel.

We wanted to bring something special to Sydney and it started with wanting to find a perfect spot to make that happen.

We came across Space Mountain, which is an amazing venue on top of Taylor square.

We hosted a 2v2 Break Battle and Afterparty.

This was our second edition to the Strictly Breaks series.

We had so much great feedback from the first one that we had to run it back.

This time around we wanted to keep the same vibe but try and upgrade the experience in any area that we thought we could.

The night was full of high energy battles and good music.

Shout out to our 3 DJ’s of the night, We had DJ Chan-1 playing the tunes for the battles followed by DJ Italo playing a vinyl set straight after the battles were done providing beats for dinner then after that we had DJ Mattymadeit close the night we an epic set making everybody dance into the late hours of the night.

STrictly BReaks VOl.1

This was the first event we ran as Concrete Waves.

The goal was to start local and run a jam that would bring the scene together in a more natural and out going space.

We ran it out one of our favourite places to hangout and eat… Apres Surf

(Located in Burleigh heads)

We ran 2v2 Break battles and had the after party all at the same spot.

Congrats to our winners Bboy Jai and Bboy Benmx.

Shout out to our DJ Iron Icey and Judges Gaz, Monsta and Tee

Big love to everyone who came to support and made it a night to remember.
