| Is Breaking Losing Its Identity? | Storm on Concrete Talks | Season 1 Ep. 3 | 27 Aug 2026 | 01:57:28 | |
Two dancers. One full crew. 1992. Storm and Battle Squad stepped onto the Battle of the Year stage as underdogs and walked away as champions. But winning BOTY was only the beginning. Niels Robitzky aka. Storm is one of the true pioneers of breaking. A legendary B-Boy, choreographer, teacher and one of the minds behind the evolution of judging in the culture. In this episode of Concrete Talks, host Trix sits down with Storm for an unfiltered conversation about where breaking came from, how it changed, and where it is going. They go back to the early days of breaking. The 1992 BOTY final. The feeling of being part of something bigger. The shift around Expo 2000. And the evolution from competitor to judge — including Storm's involvement in developing the BOTY judging system. They talk about instinct versus structure. Freedom versus rules. Culture versus sport. And the question that has followed breaking for decades: Can breaking ever truly be judged objectively? Storm also takes on the HOT SEAT, faces some uncomfortable truths about the new generation, and decides what to KEEP or DROP — from Powermoves vs. Footwork to Cyphers vs. Big Stage Battles. This is a conversation about breaking, identity, evolution and responsibility — with someone who has been there from the beginning. 🎙️ Concrete Talks is the official podcast of Battle of the Year — the world's biggest breaking competition.
