The History
RADIOTRON, Hip Hop's most celebrated & anticipated B-boy event, featuring 1 day of exposition & competition. Radiotron, the original B-Boy event, has always been the innovator, the pacesetter and the gage by which all other Hip-Hop events worldwide are measured. The following details the evolution of RADIOTRON. The history of the RADIOTRON events is long and interesting, In the early 80's, kids gathered at a community center in the Mac Arthur Park area of Los Angeles to practice what they called "Breakin." They nicknamed the community center "RADIOTRON." It was not just a community youth center; it also served as a safe place for young dancers in Los Angeles to focus on their creativity, leaving the negativity that plagued the inner city at the door. Kids from different neighborhoods, beliefs & backgrounds came to RADIOTRON, ignoring their differences and participating in recreational activities that had a definite Hip-Hop flavor & ultimately played a part in defining Hip-Hop culture.

RADIOTRON soon became the focal point of early Hip-Hop culture, playing host to Breakin's 1st underground event in 1982. Movies like Breaking 1, Electric Boogaloo, Breaking and Entering, as well as many music videos were filmed at RADIOTRON. It was the foundation and continues to be the mother of Hip-Hop in Los Angeles. RADIOTRON not only provided a strong base; it also carried the past to the present for the future of breakin.

In 1985, the community center that had become affectionately known as RADIOTRON was demolished due to legal issues. Although only one wall stands of the community center that once housed the original RADIOTRON location, it continues to live in the hearts & minds of b-boys and b-girls throughout the hip hop nation, so from now on think of the RADIOTRON event as a super global hip hop family reunion.

Lil’ Cesar created the RADIOTRON event, a 1 day expo/competition where dancers, artists, & spectators can display their skills & learn from those around them, just like he did at the original RADIOTRON. The past events are all available on video because he feels that each event carries so much history. His mission is to remain 100% dedicated to giving his best effort in developing this event, making each one better than the last. By keeping the event mainstream & staying one hundred percent down with Hip Hop even through the hard times, Lil’ Cesar insures that the Hip Hop family always has a place to belong.

Breakin has lived on as a unique expression that combines both sport and art and is executed by talented youth around the globe. This pop culture phenomenon has remained an untapped source, a sleeping giant awakened by Lil’ Cesar Productions and others worldwide. Under the auspices of LCP, RADIOTRON is organized and orchestrated by "old school" B-Boys (breakers) to maintain its authenticity for it's audience.

Big name stars that are synonymous with the international hip-hop movement have supported & appeared at prior RADIOTRON events. Old school legends such as: Air Force Crew, Kurtis Blow, Ice -T, Dre, Shake City Rockers, Greg Mac, Egyptian Lover, Mr Freeze, Fresh, Chain Reaction, Don Camballock, Jurassic 5, Huey, New York City Breakers, Rocksteady, Tony Bazel, Pop n Taco, Fabulous Lockers, Boogaloo Shrimp, Baka Boys, Sway and Tech, Pop n Pete, Orko, Mr. Wiggles, Renegades, Style Elements, LA Breakers, Rockin Wizards, Project Blow and Michael Jackson Productions are but a few of the names that have attended prior RADIOTRON events.

Lil' Cesar, from Air Force Crew, has taken on the responsibility of keeping RADIOTRON alive, as he was one of the kids that learned to dance there. He has spent the last 20 years dancing all over the world with his group the Air Force Crew and has worked with artist like Janet Jackson, Kurtis Blow, & Madonna and Jay Leno to name a few. In 1997 he received The Wake Up Show Award form 92.3 The Beat and its millions of listeners that selected him in acknowledgement of his talent as a driving force in the Hip-Hop Nation.
