Red Bull BC One Austria Cypher 2015 - impressions 1


On the 21st of March, 2015, the Red Bull BC One Austria Cypher took place in Vienna. Fans, dancers, rappers, families and breakers from whole Austria came to watch this Austrian main event of the year. Do you want to know who was in it, how it was and who finally won? Then have fun while reading on! :) And be there in 2016!

no tickets at the door?

In the week of the battle, I was in Germany for a couple of days. I had no chance to book a ticket so I hoped to get a ticket at the door. I contacted my HHVB community to ask if they already had a ticket. Some of them wanted to be at the EMS lounge early enough to buy some of the last tickets like me.

A big crowd waited in front of the lounge when I arrived. I couldn't find the box office and my peeps. Nobody knew where you could buy the last tickets. At the door, a security guard made sure that we would enter the lounge at exactly 18:30. When we entered we found only two cashiers at the box office for 800 announced visitors. It was chaotic. In front of the box office, there was no queue, there was a big cluster of people talking in English or different Austrian dialects. People pushed and people were afraid not to get any tickets. In the back of the cluster I noticed a cap with a penguin and a text on it. It was rapper ARL!

When I finally got to the cashier, they stopped the selling. It was said that the tickets had to be counted. They were not sure how many tickets were allowed to be sold. We had to wait. The whole cluster was pissed, anxious and the guys in the back didn't understand why nobody in the front was moving. After 10 minutes we got news: Only 20 tickets were left. What a panicing chaos! Around 50 people wanted to get some of the last 20 tickets! Rapper Beli Vuk arrived in this moment and called me on the phone. Rapper ARL was then behind me and we got some of the last tickets. We were relieved and got inside the lounge.

guests, friends and cyphers

Inside the lounge, the ground floor was already full. There was a round and lightly lifted dance floor which was the stage. VIPs and the participants had their own floors, the first and two floor. DJ Cosmic played and kids, men and women already cyphered on stage. Before the battle started I saw rapper Spinz, some kids and families. I recognized and greeted Viennese Hip Hop artists I am friends with like Bboy Giant Roc (Hip Hop Kulturkreis), DJ Sammogly, Bboy Turtle (Unique Artists), Bboy Nonsense (Unique Artists), Bboy Lil Sunji (The Only Kingz), rapper ARL, Bboy Petya, photographer and Bboy Etienne. Most of the time I was with rapper Beli Vuk and Bboy Turtle (Unique Artists).
