SYDNEY AMOO

Introducing the incredible Sydney Amoo for this year's edition! Originally from Germany and currently residing in Graz for the past three years, the 24-year-old dancer, also known as Lil Syd, has an innate connection to rhythm and dance. Despite his father owning a dance school, Sydney's childhood dream was to play football.


In Graz, he works as a dance teacher, sharing his passion for dance with both children and adults. For Sydney, the key elements in teaching are fun and patience. His philosophy is clear: "Many dance students want to improve quickly, but you should simply enjoy dancing."


Lil Syd, renowned for his street dance style, triumphed at the Red Bull Dance Your Style event in Vienna, earning him a spot in the World Final. With energetic moves and a passionate performance, he captivated the audience at the historic Arkadenhof of the University of Vienna, despite facing nervousness and an ankle injury. Securing his place in the World Final, Lil Syd's victory in the one-on-one dance battles, witnessed by 1,000 spectators, highlighted his exceptional skill and joyous approach to dance.


Reflecting on his unexpected triumph, Lil Syd shared, "It's an indescribable feeling to be celebrated as the winner by the crowd at Red Bull Dance Your Style!" His victory not only marked a personal achievement but also secured his participation in the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final scheduled for 2023 in Frankfurt.

SUMMER OF HIPHOP MERCH

14. Januar 2025
In der urbanen Tanzszene hat sich Jakob Gösselbauer, bekannt als DJ Sumthinjay, längst einen Namen gemacht. Was einst als Leidenschaft für das Auflegen begann, ist heute eine beeindruckende Karriere als Battle-DJ, der nicht mehr aus der süddeutschen und österreichischen Tanzlandschaft wegzudenken ist. Nach seinem Auftritt bei den Summer of HipHop Battles 2023 hat sich Jay auch 2024 und darüber hinaus als feste Größe etabliert. Im Jahr 2024 setzte Jay seinen Erfolgskurs fort und war erneut Teil hochkarätiger Tanz-Battles. Sowohl bei den House als auch den Hip-Hop-Battles des Summer of HipHop in München lieferte er wieder eine tolle Performance. Dabei zog er mit seinem feinen Gespür für die Stimmung im Raum und seinem sicheren Händchen für die richtigen Beats Tänzer und Publikum gleichermaßen in seinen Bann. Auch Buddha Stretch aus New York und sein Interviewpartner Georg Wodrak lobten Jay im Q&A für seine musikalische Gestaltung – ein weiterer Beleg für seine Expertise und seinen Status in der Szene. Neben dem Summer of HipHop war Jay 2024 auch auf vielen weiteren Events als Battle DJ im Einsatz: Circus Cypher Vol. I (Graz, Österreich) – ein internationales Urban Dance Battle, bei dem er zusammen mit Jacksy aus Slowenien die Musik für Tänzer aus aller Welt bereitstellte. Battle Zone 022 (Rosenheim) – ein weiteres Event, das durch seine musikalische Gestaltung besonders hervorstach. Back2Unit (Ingolstadt) – eines der spannendsten All-Style-Battles, bei dem Sumthinjay die Teilnehmer mit seinen Beats antrieb. TAF Deutschland Cup HipHop 2024 (Bad Neustadt) – Hier legte er bei den All-Style-Battles auf und begeisterte nicht nur Tänzer, sondern auch Organisatoren und Zuschauer.

Lil'Syd, ein außergewöhnlicher Tänzer und Performer, hat beim "SUMMER OF HIPHOP 2024" sein Debüt als Host der House Battles gegeben – und das mit großem Erfolg. Mit seiner humorvollen, lässigen und dennoch respektvollen Art verlieh er den Battles eine völlig neue Atmosphäre, die von Teilnehmer*innen und Publikum gleichermaßen gefeiert wurde. Seine Moderation brachte frischen Wind in die Veranstaltung und hob die Energie des Events auf ein neues Level.  Aufgrund des überragenden Feedbacks wird Sydney beim "SUMMER OF HIPHOP 2025" nicht nur die House Battles, sondern auch die Hip-Hop Battles moderieren. Diese Entscheidung spiegelt sein Talent wider, nicht nur als Tänzer, sondern auch als charismatische Persönlichkeit auf der Bühne.
2. Januar 2025
Mit seinem tiefen Verständnis für die Tanzkultur und seiner langjährigen Erfahrung in der internationalen Szene war er die ideale Wahl für diese Aufgabe.
1. Januar 2025
Das KULT SUMMER OF HIPHOP Festival in München ist in kurzer Zeit zu einem der festen Größen der urbanen Tanzszene in Süddeutschland geworden. Ins Leben gerufen wurde es 2022 von den Hip-Hop-Trainern Annabelle "Belle" Lauterbach und Kevin Braun , die seit mehr als 15 Jahren gemeinsam in der Tanzszene aktiv sind. Ihr Ziel ist es, die Verbindung zwischen der urbanen Tanzszene, Tanzschulen und Tanzverbänden zu stärken und so eine Plattform für aufstrebende Talente zu schaffen. Ein starkes Team hinter den Kulissen Belle übernimmt die komplette Organisation des Festivals und trägt die Hauptverantwortung für den reibungslosen Ablauf der Veranstaltung. Ihr Aufgabenbereich umfasst die Koordination der Künstler, die Finanzplanung, die Erstellung der Stundenpläne, die Organisation der Workshops und die Betreuung der Battles. Ihr organisatorisches Talent und ihre langjährige Erfahrung in der Tanzszene haben das Summer of HipHop zu einer beliebten Veranstaltung gemacht, die stetig wächst. Kevin, ein erfahrener Tänzer, Choreograf und Tanzlehrer, sorgt im Hintergrund für die technische Umsetzung, Social Media und die mediale Präsenz des Festivals. Seine Fachkenntnisse in der Tänzer-Community und seine Erfahrungen als Wertungsrichter bei internationalen Wettkämpfen tragen dazu bei, das Event professionell in Szene zu setzen. Gemeinsam bilden Annabelle und Kevin ein eingespieltes Team, das sich hervorragend ergänzt.
