RACEISM 2015

RACEISM 2015

On the first of January 2015, like every year, I was wondering which direction Raceism Event should develop. The first conversations with friends convinced me that the event should be completely different than others. It has to be razzle-dazzle, why everyone are waiting whole year. From which you would definitely require to your knees buckled while entering the building. The problem of selecting an object accidentally solved itself. To avoid the monotony we wanted to resign from the stadium where we have been meeting two years in a row. The manager of stadium came with the help. He said that stadium is already busy at this time. Quick reconnaissance convinced us it was the time to leave Wroclaw, which does not have a facility that could accommodate several hundred cars.

We had a lot of expectations- the manager had to accept drifting and had to ensure partial roof in case of inclement weather. On the other side we had to accept a small hotel base and a small town which Opole is. Now it is time for logistics and planning that not so small event. After the first conversation with Kuba Tatara aka "Musk" I knew that we must have drifting! Of course stanced style. Tatara‘s brothers and Michael Bartłomiejczyk involved in this idea 100% - that’s why we are very grateful to them.

Once again, we were able to invite a special guest straight from the US. Of course we are talking about Mike Koziel known as MikeK Media - the young genius of the recording automotive films and this ones about our subculture. Unusual personality and character are mixed with the extraordinary talent of Mike, the effects of his work should have the premiere of the end of July, we cannot wait. Like in previous years, their presence announced the representants of the most respected teams in Europe: BS-Carstyling, FLGN-TLT, Rad48, Dumped, Lownatics, Rubnroll, Sourkrauts, Dub05, Dapper, Belly rubbers, Instinct, Camber and of course Raceism. While browsing the 4500 applications to the event we were really peaceful. One more time, we invloved hip hop climate - because of Bboys, Bgirls, graffiti artists and DJs (who are our friends). On judge’s couch there were judges from Germany, Austria, Russia and Poland. Mario Moser [dumped], Michael Grabowski [raceism], Rolf Sommer [lownatics], Wojciech Maląg [raceism], Victor Short [vwfestival.ru]. Gentlemen’s quest was to choose TOP16 projects. They did it very well. Cup system can be as controversial as exciting. Already in the first round, two favorites can hit each other effectively eliminating one of them - in accordance with the principle: winner takes all!
