Here’s a popping mix I recorded a while back for Popping For Parkinson's World Popping Dance Day project. People on the street dance scene will know me as a locker, but I actually love popping just as much (ai just never learned the style lol).

Mix: https://honeyfunk.bandcamp.com/track/optimus-funk-popping-mixtape


Anyway, I was on a social media time-out when this dropped (April), so here it is peak summer instead. There’s some serious talent involved in this project, which features contributions from Bravo B, Leva57, Dj Yuri-Blacky, Enrythm, Ivan Makvel Music, Popin Pete and more.
