Today we talk with one of the founders of the world famous event IBE, Tyrone Van Der Meer. Tyrone has been involved in the European scene for many years, and has been instrumental in providing a space for some of the greatest moments in not only breaking history but dance in general.
In this episode we get into how his love of hip hop came about, the importance of seeing people of colour in mainstream media, how he got into producing events, how IBE became the event that it is today, what it means to really be a part of the culture, connecting the culture to other aspects of your life, and so much more.
Huge thank you to Tyrone for taking the time to share his history and thoughts with us all and thank you to all of you who have continued to tune in and I hope you enjoy the episode.
Peace.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
