Made the entire thing on my phone using consumer headphones,

Still had a better beat and mix than a bunch of entries :LOL::D

You lot absolutely need to sort it out :eek::p



Was interesting taking my mix/music knowledge and trying to apply it through much lesser tools, knowing the limitations and being aware of various translation aspects.

You know most gas stations have a service attendant that can pump your tires for you right? lol

It's a good album...got wayyyy over played around my ends. Plus all the indie weird kids running around saying "I was into them BEFORE this album even came out!" got annoying.
I generally disliked them before that album. Heard they came out to LA or the somewhere West to record it, something about Hip Hop. Some bits gave me Dre vibes.

Was immediately
in love with that album.

Quality work.

F*** rock week!

@2GooD Productions was pretty impeccable to be honest. Just waiting on those scratches coming in :ROFLMAO: . Can't believe he didn't even place.

@Iron Keys of all the themes to try and make on your phone I suspect there's not much worse than rock. Beat should have been up there too. Mix was great.

@Earsblower Great mix as always. Poor choice of instruments / sounds let yours down I think.

@Dusty B Probably the most original beat. Thought I was in the cinema with those drums!

Congrats @Armani ! Sweet beat and brilliant sample choice!! I'm still not very good at pairing names with beats. If it has a single kick, it’s probably @them . Special prize for minimalism! Soon, I want to make a beat with the same drums—your beat is dope and I mean It.

And low volume probabiy that's @Stan1 - my friend, did you put the whole buses into a pedal distortion? That's experimental. I love this one too! Awesome that you apparently don't care about votes! I really messed around and came too late for voting. This is not a lie like @PhxAzTracmaster I can keep stoned prize for me! So many beats... I'd like to give feedback to everyone, but I'm not sure I can, as these days are busy... This fight was fun, well done, anyway
