— A Breaking (Bboy/Bgirl) battle featuring nonstop cypher (dance circle) call out battles between breakers.

Get ready for the fourth instalment of one of Melbourne’s rawest cypher breaking battle yet—Til Death Do We Cypher Vol. 4. Hosted by The Steezy Walrus, this event stays true to the heart of breaking with nonstop cypher energy all night long.

Step into the cypher as Breakers and crews throw down in 3v3 and 1v1 battles, driven by vibe, skill, and connection. There’s no stage, no routine—just real breakers going round for round, earning respect the only way that matters: in the cypher.

Expect unpredictable mini challenges, surprise twists, and heat from some of Australia’s freshest and fiercest Bboys and Bgirls. Whether you’re here to battle, spectate, or just catch a vibe, this is your invite to be part of a night that celebrates the true essence of hip-hop culture.

All styles and levels are welcome. Bring your crew, bring your steeze—Til Death Do We Cypher.

 

Lead Artists: Emmy Li, Fauntine Lariba
Judges: Andrew Gibbons, Jacob Goodridge, Hideo Shinokubo
MC: David Prakash, Token Veloso
DJ: James Chai
