Critical Hype, the parent company behind 360 - The Urban Freestyle Dance Battle, is proud to introduce a new show, the “360 Session.” The 360 Session is a show featured on the Critical Hype online channel, www.criticalhype.com.au, launching on the 7th Oct 2008.

The 360 Session is a monthly show, featuring Sydney’s top crews going head to head in a freestyle battle. The show will be a tour around Sydney, introducing the hidden and the new freestyle prodigies to the viewers.

The show will consist of interviews, bios and the freestyle battle. The series will lead to the biggest freestyle battle in Sydney, “360” in March ’09.

The show will be aired in the new Critical Hype online channel, www.criticalhype.com.au, and will be the first of its kind. The series begins in October 2008.

Due to family issues at home (J-Tight has a new baby) J-Tight will not be gracing our shores in October.  Instead the tour is moving to November, stay tuned for dates and times.

Darrio Street profusely apologizes for any incovenience caused, its postphonement is beyond our control.

What do you think of the commercial intrest in the ’sub-cultures’ in Sydney?

I just thought I would pass on the love.  There is a brand new website that has just been launched called www.biguproar.com.  It’s a free website for performers of all kinds that gives you a platform to personally manage a profile that is open to casting directors and potential clients only.

It seems like a good tool.  Check it out!
