i honestly love how shibata put out his hand for him to shake when he was done with his round. dude that is fuckin tight. sportsmanship after a competition is incredibly dope to me. to battle all out then still be cool at the end is just tight. i hate all the beef and hostility people have, especially in hip hop. also i must say i'm new to this level of house dance. and i gotta say i'm thoroughly entertained. this is dope as hell.

[@narutokun19]

I totally agree. The spirit of house is the vibe created by the interplay between the DJ and the crowd and shared and experienced by everyone on the dance floor. It is NOT battling. Two guys battling it out while everyone is sitting down(!) and cheering is not what house is about I'm sorry.

[@SouldancerR]

yo man, i can see that you are not familiar with the housing scene, actually housing is a part of the hip hop culture, so first know something before you give comments like that

[@alistilla2]

the guy in the yellow was feeling the beat waaaay better for me but the japanese guy was more creative

[@KnoxAnder]

Finally found the first track title and info. Enjoy!!! Its has also been uploaded on KZbin thx to Lukinoln. Enjoy. T.Kolai - Zouk (Restless Soul Peaktime Mix)

[@afg29]

A history lesson. Way back in the late 60' / 70's in the North of UK there was then an underground scene called 'Northern Soul'. This took place at venues like Wigan Casino & The Wheel where all nighters took place. Clubbers would dance none stop to the rarest US soul grooves not even heard commercially in the US until late into the 70's and now B-Boys have caught onto these rare tunes. As for the dancing. House dancing; See Northern Soul. It's similar. A possible debate. Peace.

[@AxelZamudio25]

no ni madre no te pasare los nombres de las rolas :) y esta mamada jaja ahora asta el house se baila ajajajja D

[@GusCraigengower]

...the japanese guy had more footwork; but his moves in the first few rounds has nervous written all over 'em. he took too long to warmup and adjust to & feel the music and his footwork are too rigid- he never turns or move around smoothly; his footwork are all forwards, backwards and sideways. but when he hits the groove; he pull off some really rad as fook moves. and the guy in yellow was just big xaggeratted; but not amazing moves; plus the japanese's more original. hmm...tough decision.:S

[@GusCraigengower]

it''s a hard one i think, ....they could do better with some better tunes though, but i guess tune is tune, you just needa find a way to click with it. =] but to be honest, the guy in yellow seemed much more relaxed with smooth moves all the way through; and moves around and does turning moves much more though that probably came from his breaking. that kinda made up for the lack of variety in his footwork and moves in general....

[@TheAgentOfTruth]

well, to be honest, 25 years ago i had 'floor force' written on one of my legs, and 'glide master', lol, on the other - i was hip hop, the first kid in my crew to do a no-hand windmill - anyway, i'm not antagonistic toward hip-hop, i was the first kid to bring hip hop to my town back in the early 80's - before most of y'all were born. i evolved - is all i can say; i guess it bothers me a bit to see all these house kids hip hopping - hip hop was always more external - to me, house is the opposite

[@TheAgentOfTruth]

also, after the first track, the music became extremely weak - especially the last part - very disappointing - especially for a supposed world-class event final! - it should not have been so, because it didn't encourage, or more importantly - inspire - either dancer to bring 101% of their potential . . in my opinion - should've had more of an edge - an underground vibe/feel - what house really is, not the ho-hum, nothing special, cheesy organ-chords disco sound that was present there . . love .

[@innerbeast415]

you dance first, then you pick a style. the black guy won cuz he had more wow factor. i don't really know what house is, but i can honestly say that he was more interesting. i've never heard of a hip-hop dance style that says "you CAN'T do this kind of move." Of course, if its too far off, the audience says "wtf," but they'll usually never do that if the core elements are there. black guy wins.

[@metheores]

It's not really mixing it's because both House and BBoy have similar roots that they are combined, as Bboying and House evolved the ideas of house were implemented into toprocks while more elaborate footwork was implemented into house. It's bboying not Breakdance, and the Asian guy (I think I heard a girl saying Fuji) had way more flow and dynamic than the other dude. Major props to both though.

[@ravlek622]

If house is indeed a feeling, then there is no one set of movements that you can't incorporate. How do you think jacking evolved in the first place? By incorporating movements from different styles as well as creating a style of your own. The best in house (and any style of dance) become conduits by individually expressing the music with their body. Mamson and Koki, Caleaf, B-terry, etc. are all masters at this. Their movements and the music are indistinguishable. Just my two cents.

[@catch3000]

That's hilarious! I was thinking the exact same thing. I like Mamson as a dancer, and respect the fact that he's a supporter of the house dance and music community. But, I think he's overrated as a dancer. Entering competitions and hanging around an active house dance crowd helped give him a popular and familiar name among house heads and onlookers. Mamson's last run looked horrible, what the heck was he dancing to!

[@SouldancerR]

you need to wake up and smell the future, cuz sittin down in the past won't take you anywhere, i know those clubs, when you just look at it the spiritual stuff, it's all good, but everything evolves man, so don't be dissin me personnaly, this is not about me or you it's about housing evolving every day not about haters who get stuck in the past

[@djsquirt313]

homeboy on the right is AMAZING. he's got a really unique style. In my opinion, he won, but in housing who cares? On a side note, KaraKartel, I hope you're not getting racial. That would mean that you're probably from the part of the U.S. that lost the civil war.

[@sanchezsal28]

the main thing here that in this guys mind there dancing house music it doesnt matter if house music is danced different..they are trying there best i give them credit for dancing were the rythym takes them too fucken house music is the shit .........peace

[@wanted47]

gyroscopical - i agree that freeze wasn't the best, but the crowd didn't go wild because of that freeze. mamson as always followed the beat and that "wack freeze" caught that beat perfectly. thats what dancing is all about ...feel the music.

[@buggeazy102]

this all about whos the wildest ok start off regular then you go then ima get alil wilder then ima get extra wilder ..me personaly i have to judge it from the 1st round the other rounds was to much over the top if you ask me

[@catch3000]

Ditto! Ejoe and Cebo best two dancers in my opinion. Caleaf is nice, but I grew up in the era where jacking dominated house dance. So, I tend to appreciate and prefer lofting and footwork rather than the latter.

[@amsscorpio]

I know what you mean man, Some house moves can be on the floor but he busted out break dance moves, and since people like those either way THATS what mattered to them, which isnt neccesarily fair

[@lowkeybrother]

Name of first track is Zouk (Restless Soul Peaktime Mix) by T. Kolai

[@Ayana420]

The first one has nice ideas and uses a lot of different moves. The second one feels the music with his feet!! Both are pretty good!

[@BoogieBrown]

The European Union is really only an administrative trading body. No one here recognises it as a continent that people call themselves a part of, so forgive my posturing.

[@dafirstfly]

u told the exactly opposite man!! mamson got the technique, he aint got flow at all!!! house dance its all about feeling, not on crown pleasure moves n stuff like that!!

[@Andresteven72]

I think Mamson really did deserve to win. His Full Body was involved as he danced and He used the entire floor. That's just my opinion. I'm no expert though

[@maxxijam]

Buena vibra la de los dos!!!! desde Buenos Aires Maxxi Jam super cebado!!!!!

[@macszim]

theres a chick thats all over youtube that always kills these dance battles...anybody know her name..she does alot of battles etc..really famous.

[@MattiaDiIenno]

Ti avviso che questa È l'house, e le altre sono "derivazioni"(che oggi di haouse hanno poco o niente). Se tu avessi detto "Che schifo l'house , meglio l'electro-house", allora mi va bene, e se dici così fai pure più bella figura.

[@FabioNoize]

ok...allora se po di ke ci sono vari tipi di house o sbajo!!??....allora si mettiamola kome dici te...moooooolto mejo l electro house!!!!ma questa nn se po senti e vede poko(solo perke so bravi a ballare)

[@zeroeman]

i had no clue house dancer love breakn moves.... thats koo i like to mix my up-rock with house moves so... it works out well...

[@BoogieBrown]

I'm referring to the sound quality rather than the techniques - it just detracts from the the overall enjoyment. Reel it in...

[@Albadelis]

They look like "rap guys" but theyre not? Love the way they dance! At my country only "reggaeton guys" dress like that.

[@yosefalan]

..thats not sad, thats house. its 90% footwork, and its roots lie in tap dance among other things....whats sad about that??

[@gbocca2223]

@StupidMousse yeah but he does way too many breakdance style moves which doesnt look good when house is playing =)

[@etherbeing]

SORRY TEMPO is TOO FAST slow it down. This is not house people just go look at Ejoe and learn something MAAAAAAAN!

[@majorleaguebaby]

I dont know why they bothered playing any tracks with this, its not like they actually danced to it or the beat.

[@Evaese]

Both are great but Shibata is alot smoother and controlled, my vote on him!

[@quran777]

Mamson did his thing.. both were tight but they chose the correct person for the winner.. ~Peace~

[@LCAtripeA]

Please can someone tell me the track list...or just the last track!!! It's just blowin' my mind!

[@FabioNoize]

ma ke kazzo voi kojone!!!! ce stanno vari tipi di house...ho solo detto ke questo nn è qll ke mi piace....levate te!!

[@tealord]

siiiick battle. frankly, i thought koki was more original .. but mamson has a really nice flow.

[@higebaby]

mamson's move is cool.but it is made from breakin. so i think the winner is shibata.

[@FabioNoize]

st house fa skifo!!!!....poi sembra ke balla la break ma senza esagerà!! pe niente bello!!!

[@BananaSquadHellseesyou]

U know the name of artists...? i mean the music usin in this clip.. i want it :D

[@mndeg]

[@Booshibonton]

Tracklist, PLEASE

[@uglyboy3000]

Wow Mamson got some moves. this is my first time watching a house battle and i have to say watching these two battle makes wanna do this style of dancing(which i am going to get proper teachings first). But overall Mamson dominated.

[@kuuqlqr]

Yes, what is it?

[@stupidxboy]

there are a few underground places. which is embarassing if you ask me. because your right house did originate in chicago. and its rare to find a club/spot that is stritcly house.

[@jayelowell]

that azn kid is sik

[@LaMOi1]

ne kno the trak

[@skiddlecrumms]

@afg29 Well, there is such a thing as independent invention. I would say that that is probably what happened considering the style was underground in both countries in the 60's/70's.

[@LiquidRush]

very good battle

[@HighINLA]

wack!

[@therudeboy83]

borring dance

[@Zen5656]

WOW NICE

[@DANIELSOVO]

It seems to me like a fun dance. You take a couple of moves you can do and you improvise to the music.

[@SUPAGUNZ]

11 years later, I guess my man has all the style.... Mamson is nice in the floor.

[@Quailbird]

WOW i REAAALLLLY need the name of the last track man its dope! someone please!!

[@TheAgentOfTruth]

a good show by two talented catz . . how it should be done . . . big up mamson & koki . . .

[@williewill037]

A great performace and it should have been a tide. They were both winners, great job.

[@clippers4me]

It's hard to imagine battling someone else to house music...

[@ErinFlynn1]

A few years old but so nice... and how I wish I danced.
