Hello, and welcome to the Breakz homepage!

This site contains info and links about events put on (by ourselves, and others) both in and around campus and the York area. It also contains links to the best alternative music sites and radio stations. So if you're stuck working away in the computer room on an essay that should have been in last week, at 3 in the morning and your mates are out partying, have a browse through our site... have listen to some of the stuff in our music section - it will make it all seem a lot better!

Getting Involved

Getting Involved

Breakz is run by a small team of people with little in the way of hierarchy, so you really can get stuck in, take decisions and make a difference from the start. A number of the current Breakz team will be leaving this year, so we really need your help.

We need:

  • DJs – the core of everything we do, really
  • MCs – if you can spit out some tight lyrics over dnb, hip-hop or anything else, we want to hear from you.
  • Organisers – booking acts, running events on the night, scouting for venues and opportunities.
  • Promoters – designing posters and flyers, working with printers, contacting media and other ents organisers, website, email campaigns, distribution.

If this sounds like your kinda thing then get in touch. or come along to our weekly meetings on Wednesdays at 1515 in Derwent bar.


Artwork

Breakz has been running for eight or nine years now (no-one's quite sure how long). We've archived posters from past Breakz events in the artwork section, including the cut out decks and mixer from the Krafty Kuts gig so you can print (and make!) your own. Take a look and see if it brings back any memories!
