Theme: Sample Flip of Miles Davis' "Flamenco Sketches" (download snippet below)

You must use the sample provided! The song has already been chopped, so use any part of the loop, but make sure we can recognize it. You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the voters will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Nice. This should be a good one!

Had trouble downloading the sample...yo if we provide the times of the track from where its sampled from, could that possibly be accepted?

Or rather, if you could provide the time of where the given sample starts and ends I could just download that shit and chop it myself..

Looking forward to this one

First time i saw the post it said the first 45 seconds of the song could be sampled. Does that still stand?

You have to use the sample provided, it's roughly the first 45 seconds of the song.

Props to all those that entered, and to those that took the time to vote.

 

[Dub1Beatz]

well atleast i made the list......Fuck it....onto something else...

It was very tight this time around because of the sample. But it's good to hear how everyone flips it differently. Everyone had nice beats, the problem too was the lack of votes, so hopefully that will start to change with the next competition.
