34. Yutaka (Ground 2 Air/The Ruckus)
Listen now
Description
Today we talk with the first bboy I ever saw in person, Yutaka from the crews Ground 2 Air and The Ruckus.  Yutaka comes from the Vancouver breaking generation just after crews like Contents Under Pressure and Straight No Chaser, and before my generation, which is crews like Filthee Feet and Now or Never and is still quite active to this day.  We get into a bit about the Vancouver history of that time including the one battle that he feels changed the Vancouver scene, but also dive into the spiritual, artistic, and mental side of breaking, dance, and art.  We also get into his history and recent dabblings in music production.  Really great talk and one of my favourites so far.  Hope you enjoy it.  Peace.
