I’ve been schooled regarding Kraftwerk’s place in breakdancing history!

First: Jack Chatterton and Rowan Lipkovits both informed me that “Tour de France” and “Trans Europe Express” were both heavily sampled by Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force. Bambaataa gave Kraftwerk songwriting credit for the single “Planet Rock”.

Then: DJ Matt Kane pointed out that “Tour de France” was featured prominently in the 1984 movie Breakin’.

Served!
