"Liquid Pop" Eric

[ligon29]

This is the type of shit I remember from longst ago.

[videowatcher83]

Wow, that is realy good!!

The sound, the motion, wowowow!

What is the name of the sound in the last video?

Thx for uplpoad!

[thebigshowa]

Music sounds just like Chicago House Style, big hit in the mid 90's

[thayerhealey3]

If i remember correctly this was @ the Bank/Transit or possible Motions??? (Philly) back in the day but then again I'm not so sure i can remember those days correctly!

[usmcdisabledvet]

wow. The most fluid i've ever seen.

[smonaghan000]

Have loved this video for years. Happened to pull it up while listening to Fancy Footwork (Chromeo) - Liquid Eric is timeless

[ShibbyTheZombie]

He liked shuffling before it was cool.. What a hipster trolololol!

[delasmoke]

Caught this vid off Kazaa p2p back in the day. I had just started to teach myself liquid and inherited a lot of moves from this guy. Love it. Seems all the kids know these days is how to stomp moon walk.....err shuffle.

[RRXn3oN]

@Karisma20

he commented on this video ;) look 2 comments down from mine

[Opiuth]

this is honey in my eyes!

[jdm9499]

The 90's were the best moments of experimental, total dance. This guy captured, and perfected the true underground shuffle in its entirety. I wonder where he's at today. BRAVO.....BRAVO good sir.

[ShuffleInMotion]

fuking miss the 90's

[eXpas04]

eric> ma name is too eric

[TeeFastTeeFurious]

@eXpas04 You mean your name is eric too

[eXpas04]

@TeeFastTeeFurious yea...

[0863534377]

@eXpas04 fail

[citricitri]

Awww yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh hammer pants

[Leanpocket69]

hey look its a arcade

[the26thhour]

As someone who was doing this type of stuff from the early 90's, I have to agree with whoever did the write-up on wiki, cause at 13yrs old I was popping & by my early 20's I was combining that knowledge with slutty funk moves inspired from the funk/groove nights at The Lounge & the now notorious melbourne shuffle...

At any rate, this guy deserves all the praise he's gettn

Pop da funk down - from Melbourne Australia.

[questionablebeauty]

WAT DA FACK

[VAB666]

ur like my shuffle godness. i'll obey ur style

[stickyhandss]

helllll yeahhhh BDCM is in like 3 weeks im so excited

[wobblezzzz]

@stickyhandss Hell yeah! I havent been to an all weekend party since 2009! Im excited! :)

[CognitiveKungFu]

FUCK i have seen alot of poppers and he is great!!

[RA7ICU5]

any luck on finding more of this guy or who he is??

[wobblezzzz]

@RA7ICU5 His name is Eric. If your interested in liquid dancing and want to learn from him and his new crew dark matter send me a message. Theres a 3 day party on the east coast that him and dark matter are teaching liquid dance lessons.

[LPERIC]

@RA7ICU5 You can find me and my crew at our website google "darkmattersquad"

[MrKylehall10]

this guys fuckin pro

[MaticMirnik]

PRO

[Wantsomecowbell]

Man I need to start making a bomb shuffle combo with this, it would be so expressive.

[MrZaach]

Anyone got the name of the third song? :(

[LittleBritainGER]

John Travolta the Inventor of Tectronic ROFLMFAO

[nine3cobra]

its weird how "LPC Eric" sucks in all the videos where you can see his face.

[MrZaach]

@nine3cobra Hmm maybe this aint 'LP Eric' at all, maybe Eric just posted this video with his name to make a name of himself? I agree with you, the vids where you can see his face aint nothing like this

[rmc0613]

Damn! I haven't seen these clips in forever. Good job posting this, and does no one walking in front of the camera realize what he's doing in the back ground at the arcade!

[bsk8r4jc]

damn this shits so classic super dope wish i could dance like that

[openthemind2012]

eric at his best hes not good any more..!!

only 2 videos that are the best of eric all the other 1z are gay he should try and dance a little more like he did in the arcade vids!!

[Tman1101]

what a bumpin ass party

[PedroMarquesCarmoR]

i seek help to murder all the people who walked in front of the camera during the video. i can has help?

[derekwowblancas]

what a mind fuck

[ohhherrohii21]

holy shitt this guy would make my eyes permanently crossed eyed if he were to give me a light show with gloves o_O

[TheHunter55S]

man what a handraver sick dude!!

[warriorcomic]

hey man i was at that party years ago i rember selling him XTC and then he started doing weird momvents

-a person from the netherlands.

[Delta797]

is he still alive ?

[karoliunas350]

im sure hes gay ::D

[Vince702]

Holy shit I've been looking for this video for years, I remember seeing it like at least 5 or 6 years ago. This video got me started into liquid.

[Oryxtoo]

I wish people would stop calling liquid "liquid popping". Eric would tell everyone of you that it's called liquid. Liquid Pop Collective was the name of the crew Eric was in. Hence why he is called LP Eric or LPC Eric. It is not the name of the dance itself. -_-

[jasyboy10]

Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter

[ciolamorta]

I believe there's something spiritual here. I mean... he feels the music, it's hard to be so "deep" in the beat...

[Uvisir]

@ciolamorta maybe, but still you can do it without substances very good. / a liquid popper!

[ciolamorta]

@Uvisir Nooo, i wasn't talkin' 'bout drugs :D

[MARSKEE]

Man.. i wish the kids nowadays would get their heads out of their shuffling asses to realize that without styles like liquid or house stepping, styles today wouldnt be here yet

[SammyRaiGuy]

PLUR

[SammyRaiGuy]

everyone always asks for the first two tracks. i found them along time ago and boy are they good songs. i really want that last song and i have searched hard and long does ANYONE KNOW IT?!?! oh and <3 Philly wish we still had the rave scene as hard as we did here...

[TheGymPress]

@SammyRaiGuy

What what are the first 2 songs dude.. help me out here please

[gamergrounds]

one most flow with the music! thats liquid pop!

[landgabriel]

Nice footage. Made me miss the good ol' days! Great dancing. I think it could use more movement through the spine but I am not saying I am better.

[theglenlivet12]

This cat is still number one

[markdafunky1]

@theglenlivet12

i gotta agree, this fool is just so fluid!

[jeffhouse9999]

this was shot in houston texas!!!!!!

[jeffhouse9999]

this was shot in houston texas!!!!!

[calmwinds]

Track is called "Direct Motion"

[calmwinds]

So damn smooth.  Never in a hurry. A thorough display of self confidence. Nicely done!

[kaelsunstrider]

anyone knows the 1st and 2nd track names?

[beanhonda]

i wonder what KARISMA20 is doing these days 11years later.....could u give us a recap maybe u got better moves but u are really good!!

[Karisma20]

@beanhonda Thanks but it wasn't me! Just a video I found through the wonderful internets. Wasn't there and don't know the guy, sadly! (Also, I was like...13 when this was filmed. LOL)

[stevieflash]

cant get enough of this liquid.....

damnit man! move it :D

[SammyRaiGuy]

NAME OF TRACK 3 WTF!! NO ONE KNOWS?!

[abuyazan17]

names of trax 1 and 2 plz :$ !!!

[curlytoes08]

badass!

the second track is gud!!

[PC4TW]

thank you ; ) so good

[RMBmike]

I can't remember the name of the club but its in wilmington, Delaware.

[LPERIC]

It was at club SPACE in Philadelphia.

[levon]

this vid influenced A LOT of dancers today

[Emeianoite]

it sure influenced me 6 years ago.

[IntrebuloN]

40% of everyone I've seen at raves in my area can dance like this, and most of these I attended before anyone had heard of Eric.

people have been dancing like this since electric boogaloo in the 60's.

he's just one of the best there is and really gets the illusion going.

there's about a half dozen basic principles to this style of dance, once you understand those it's just practice, practice, practice and feedback from ppl at the club.

[cassul454]

someone knows third and last track?

[Kibrat1]

It's not a point going threw youtube videos for something like this on,,

First time i saw this clip was in 2000 or some time around then,

Eric callari i think it is ,, does this soo good and it's said that it's just a couple of people in the world that does it perfect,.

I might belive thats thrue is not a single one in youtube videos that is nt eric him self that , makes me look twice,, There good ,,, but not liqued good..

[knitsua03]

God, I remember seeing this YEARS ago. Glad to know it's still popular. I liquid pop to this day!

Keep it alive, people!

[xxViceXHauntxx]

i have seen this video all over youtube under diffrent names and no matter how old it gets this is the best i've ever seen but hey i'm young

[spotlightmap]

Ok ok... anyone knows the name of tracks ??

[ELotion]

The First 2 tracks are:

Direct Motion - Eclipse

Electric Universe - Visiting Venus

[pitabreadpita]

AWESOME

[dat2704]

you need to increase ur drug intake, at that time u'll see some cool illusions

[SammyRaiGuy]

I wanna know too!!!

[VikingRaider]

This dudes got the moves of a mystic & a madman!*!

[Rubycella]

ya this guy is Cool!!!

[MEJIAV1F3W]

ive been practicing liquid for a while and i still look crap... i cant capture the flow/illusion that he has...maybe i need to wear baggy pants?

[PoppinGenesis]

If your trying to just get liquid effects in your waving. The illusion comes from isolating each section of your wave from the rest. If you want some tips on how to practice that let me know. Baggy clothes just hide where people are sloppy.

[Zebo131313]

Baggy pants do help with certain aspects. Liike each step you take turns into a bigger movement by the way the pants flow after the step is made. Like this guys dancing wouldn't look nearly as good with normal pants. Those old school raver parachute pants are perfect for that kind of popping.

[thedigitalcollective]

i dont know about all that now....

[Zebo131313]

You're right, you don't know. :P

[thedigitalcollective]

the minimal age to me to have seen an original party backin the day youd have to be no younger than 31.other than that you mean to tell me you were there at 14? or 13? no i was there at 15 though.maybe your older brother or sisterbrought you home mixed tapes with rising high label stuff or platypus label also.28 years old hahaha you missed it man.what did you hit partys in 97? what a joke.

[Zebo131313]

Ok douche. So now my party scene wasn't legit because it wasn't an original and a few years later? It was more like 99 and I'm from Alaska so yeah, it wasn't an original party but it was still amazing and special to me. You sound like a real bitch just so you know, so you were probably in it to prey on underage women anyway.

[Zebo131313]

I'm an MC and I've rocked the stage in front of masses and once was one of the better liquid pop dancers I ever knew, so regardless of when my scene was hot, I know wtf I'm talking about gramps. Get a life and get with the now. I bet things didn't quite turn out how you'd hoped in life eh? Sad.

[thedigitalcollective]

yeah i talk to as many jerks as i thought i would.mcs are crap and piss all over some decent dj's.i didnt get on wax cuz i wanted to still enjoy the music with all the vicious critics i must admit im glad i left and grew up.life was more than moons and tabs.if you even know what a moon is kid. lol pretentious attitute,im glad to see it still rules bro.go learn a trade and get a job if you can."not how i thought life would be" see my face bro? pain is all that matters child.f*ck the scene bro.

[Zebo131313]

I'm a loan officer at the biggest credit union in the northwest. :)

Haven't worn parachute pants in a decade, and yes I know what a moon is. LoL, good quote, "more to life than moons and tabs." So true.

[Zebo131313]

I only MC with DJ's that ask me to, and its usually at clubs more than parties these days. I just enjoy what I do, and so do others, but whatev.

[teckyo34]

énorme continue comme ça mec !!!

dommage qu'il n'y est pas plus de danceur de LIQUID POP en FRANCE!!!

[crisrod360]

great job dude , and thanks from all of us, you dont know how much that means to people tracking down a song they've been dying for. once again, thank you.

[tdigi]

It took a long time to ID the track, and I am glad the search is over :)

PM me if you want the song.

[VoodooTrance]

true

[tdigi]

The first song is "Total Eclipse - Direct Motion".

The search is over guys. I just listened to it and its 100% confirmed. YAY!!!

After posting on several sites, I had given hope. But today DJ Basilisk identified the track. I contacted him on Discogs, so thanks to him and also "Josephschembri" of Discogs for helping out.

P.S. Second song is Electric Universe - Visitng Venus

[iplaywitlights]

Fucking right on...been looking for the ID on this track forever.

Many thanks!

[CaffieneRush]

Where did you find the songs at? I can't find them.

[onz76]

Is Eric or anyone else from the LPC still around? I wish i bought the instructional Liquid video when i had the chance :( if anyone knows where one may obtain a copy let me now. Thanks

P.S. Eric I wish you auditioned for 'So You Think You Can Dance' you have a cult following on the net and I'm sure you would have taken the world by storm and given liquid the recognition it deserves. Peace and love to ya man...you rock!
