It’s been a minute since I last served up a batch of raw breakbeats, but the energy at this year’s IBE event in Holland lit that fire again. A Side Breaks Vol. 2 is a tribute to the global dance community — a selection of B-boy and B-girl–friendly breaks, crafted for cyphers, sessions, battles, and anyone who lives for that moment when the beat drops and your body just moves.
For those who don’t know: B-boy/B-girl breaks are the foundation of breakin’ culture. They’re the drum-heavy, groove-driven sections of funk, soul, and rare groove records that DJs isolate, loop, and extend to create that high-energy pocket dancers feed off. These breaks drive footwork, freezes, power moves, and flow — they’re the heartbeat of the dance.
With Vol. 2, I dug back into some older nuggets, revisiting sounds that shaped generations of breakers. And trust, there’s much more on the way — deeper cuts, fresh flips, and more gems for the floor.
Let’s get back to the essence.

lordkez (real name Keziah Zoë Meyers) is a South African R&B and neo-soul artist known for her soulful voice, genre-blending sound, and poetic lyricism. Originally from Kimberley in the Northern Cape, she was introduced to music through the church—her grandfather was a priest and her mother played the organ. This spiritual and musical upbringing continues to influence her deeply introspective and emotive work.
As a teenager, lordkez moved with her family to Abu Dhabi, where her passion for music was reignited through jam sessions with fellow South Africans. Upon returning to South Africa, she studied sound engineering at the SAE Institute in Cape Town. Her early music uploads on SoundCloud caught the attention of Stay Low, an independent label and management company, marking the beginning of her professional music journey.
In 2023, she released her debut album Testament, a genre-defying body of work that blends R&B, hip-hop, and neo-soul, with themes of love, spirituality, and self-discovery. The album includes collaborations with artists like Shekhinah, Bas, Mars Baby, and Jelani Blackman. It was critically acclaimed and won a South African Music Award (SAMA) for Best R&B/Soul Album.
Beyond music, lordkez is also a poet and visual artist. Her artistic expression is rooted in wellness and introspection—she journals daily, practices affirmations, and views her work as a healing process. Her authenticity and creative versatility have made her one of the most exciting voices in South Africa’s alternative music scene, with growing international recognition.
