There’s a lot of commotion happening in Studio 74—otherwise known as 74 Mt. Auburn. Crazy beats are piped out at ear-shattering volume as 15 break dancers warm up through shoulder jerks and pushups. Through all the chaos, in the back corner, sits Olakunle O. “Kunle” Oladehin ’07, quietly splicing songs. Before exiting the room, Katalyst—as he’s known in breaker circuts—stops to answer a question from a fellow breaker, demonstrating complicated moves in an unassuming...
