THE MEMORY WALL
The people who were there
Community recollections of dances, studios, clashes, street dances and radio moments — with the flyers, photographs and voice notes that came with them. Every memory here is testimony, published after editorial review and clearly labelled as community recollection rather than documented fact.

The bass reached you before the gate
The bass hit you in the chest before you even reached the gate. You knew from the road whose night it was.

Passa Passa till morning
At the street dance the whole road was the dancefloor till morning — vendors, selectors, dancers, everybody in it together.
