=THE ART OF FREESTYLE=

- Scottish Bboy Champs 2002 -

Early experiments with catching beats and musicality, not thinking about the moves... just seeing what comes out......

No audio overlay - Music feed directly from the DJ's turntables (hence clear sound), layered over the video from

club's ceiling camera, and recorded

directly to VHS in the club on the day.

En route to the train station,

we stop in at

fresh tunes on the

turntables behind the till...
