Wow! This takes me back a bit. So many old friends...some RIP, But I was gassed to see my younger self fiending over Superman's cape and Ortofon Concorde cartridges at 20.40. 36 years and I'm still a geek!
Me and my crew Shock Box were in electro rock, were not part of the main acts so no one would know. Sometimes history remembers the biggest noise. I basically started of at one o (10) club Catford, then much later ended up at electric ballrooms, where I bump into rock steady crew. My first crew were from penge called street system. I later teamed up with shock box who were a breakers crew from Bromley. We would often go Covent garden and charing x station underpass which had a nice floor. One of my great friends was Michael forsyth who was a great popper (Sidewalk Crew) Anyway just to say it was fun, but just a journey in life. Still dancing though shifless shuffle London 2019
I remember Street Sytem, I used to go to school in Beckenham with a guy called Wayne, his brother (Richard?) was in Street System, I remember them performing at a local fete. Wayne went on to become a rapper who called himself TR Rebel X in crews such as Rhymeside & Touchdown MC's, producing some great early-ish UK rap.
I love this posting I can't stop watching it I then shared it with all my family that electronic music drives me wild its a feeling a sound like no other
Still got this on VHS. I messaged mike allan if rock city released their record. Sadly he didn't know. For those wondering rock city danced to their own track.

@ Musicman1470 Ik ben ook van Rotterdam en Geloof me we waren toen ook bezig ik was '85 een jaar of 8/9 en in energie hal (west) werd de spotsoos gehouden elk zomer daar werden hiphop optredens gegeven door gasten zoals TC boys en dynamic rockers of Jams in Arena begin jaren 80 voormalig nighttown/Watt,ik zelf begon betrokken te raken in 88/89 generatie later en toen was hiphop op een hoogte punt in NL wij oldschoolers noemen het ''de gouden tijdperk''
Just some old vids I collected through the years. I live in Rotterdam, The Netherlands (born in Surinam). In my opinion Hip Hop was/is not that big over here. But we do got a little history. You can find some chronicles of old school Hip Hop in the Netherlands. Google - cheesesteez
Superman is cutting the same 'get down, get down' juggle routine that Cash Money used in his winning 1988 DMC Final performance. Three years earlier. Either Cash Money was at this show taking notes or Superman is also a time traveller.
The Beastie Boys were not the VERY first white rappers bc this had a shitload of white rappers and there first album Liscened to I'll didn't come out until 1986
peace and light,making me laugh over here!, there NEVER WAS a concert called 'electro rock '.... it's correct title is 'HIP HOP @THE HIPPODROME', electro rock was piece of graffiti😂.
02sayep First is family quest but don't think that tune was released. And that tune at 38:45 was rapped by the crew rock city. Ever since i saw electro rock back in 85-86 been trying to find that track but people say it was never released. I even messaged mike allen & he wasn't sure if it was ever released. Sad times as it's killing me that i can't find anything on that rock city track.
dont think so....n rock city crew 2..crews extreme team and rock city the night club where it was kicking off back then in notts was rock city was at the above the soundtrack is dubbed on the yank crew did not go down well at all
I think I’ve still got the video. I think this video introduced me to The Willesden Dodgers trax. Gunsmoke Breakout now one of my FAVS!!!
What a time to be alive back in ninety eighty five! :)
36.10 to 37.40. Zodiac crew
So strange seeing myself, David, Joe, Marion and Michael. Great times.

Anyone know the names of the MCs at 28 minutes on? City limits crew? And the tune playing at 38:45 on?
02sayep First is family quest but don't think that tune was released. And that tune at 38:45 was rapped by the crew rock city.
