Just got my vote, one track really stood out for me, I dont usually vote for the competition, but fuck it, it was worth a vote. Heard about 3 or four that stood out but it was the one that really got me. Hopefully I can place in this one, but I dont hold out too much hope when up against so many beats. Good luck.

Yeah they grow here in Denmark as well. Very potent. I once ate somewhere around 25-30g of them that my mate had picked, because i didn't think they would work. That was an interesting 14 hours.
how's life in denmark? Where abouts are you situated? aye they can surprise you sometimes. I bought a load them when i was living down in london and started chomping them on my way back to my flat, somewhere along the way on the tube i started to trip balls! I remember trying to keep it cool so noone would realise i was totally fucked :)

yeah there are alot of beats-mightve recruited someone today in work as well-keep em comin. the trap-ishbeats are completely wasted on me though-they all sound so similar but i guess that's what all the old assholes say about any genre that's come after their heyday.
a top 10 definitely sounds like an appealing alternative, and maybe giving people 2 or 3 votes instead of 1...

1-very tight;could've dropped the distorsion sweep when the beat dropped;like the cinematic vibe. Melody was good; would've been nice to hear you switch up the rhythm a bit with the flute and later with the pizzicato.(2GOOD)

2-Drippin' in swagger juice-nice sound, didn't really grasp my attention though(Iron Keys)

3-industrial vibes;almost a bit too much going on(Official anarchy)

4-the main keys got a little repetitive but i enjoyed the 808s and the pitch switches on the snares etc(44BEATZ)

5-portishead vibes-really enjoyed the double bass and the beat. excellent work.(DRAGO)

6-nice sample-beat goes a little off time sometimes and thought the variation on the latter part was a bit too simple(Moselly)

7-nice samples again-thought the drums could've spanked a lot more. Nice sped up vocal. Really liked the vibe though, excellent work ;).(Silentz)

8-Oh you fiend :) Loved the guitar, and appreciated the orchestral strings addition. Pissed off the drum beat wasn't tearing holes in my temples but this was still a pleasure to listen to.(ARMANI)

9-the beat seemed a little to tight in terms of the quantize. was a nice listen but didn't grasp me as much as t'others. nice synthesisers mind and liked the drop in the middle.(XOXO_DAISY)

10-lovely range on the frequencies-technically really tight. lovely glitchy switch ups.

11-nice work on the break-but the piano was a little linear. The synths were pleasant. Nice effort overall.(SIRE BEATS)

12-Nice vibe but i didn't really feel the pitch bends on the keys. The velocity on the hi hats could've been altered a bit more to give a little more depth.(VOSSI)

13-nice beat-enjoyed the bass.(PRIMZ)

14-lots of cowbell and vocoder, some may argue it's overpowering... jesus they might be right. Prince would love it.(THANGMAN)

15-lovely stuff! got the frequencies right for my head to nod along. feels a little repetitive after a bit but still enjoyed-excellent work!(GUTTTENNEKY)

16-technically nice work but not my cup of tea-pitching little bits of vocal up and down never really sounded that good to me, but the beat is on point nonetheless nice work.(Hypermanbeatz)

17-not my cup of tea. but still, technically good work :)

18-rich landscape of sound that just didn't really grip me that much. like all previous comments i've made on here i've nothing particularly constructive to say sorry.

19-steaming pile of shite....mine

20-nice rhythm to the beat, good work on the break. pleasant on the ear canals. good work.

21-is the distorsion intentional? if so i'd get rid of it... otherwise i'd make it a little less loud cus it's actually really nice work otherwise. the airy synth backdrop sounded legit. great stuff.

22-yeahhh getting nice n experimental again-the piano bores me but i liked the bass and the beat and the reverse whatever that is over the top.(EXIOT)

23-nice samples.sounds like something i'd have made-can see Freddy Gibbs droppin' a fat one on here. Nice work.(BADHABITS)

24-nice lo fi beat-well punctuated by the piano-bass is nice when it comes in to; not as good as the others i earmakred as excellent but i think should be up there somewhere. Well mastered.(FaceValid)

25-really nice work on the synths etc-pleasant again on the tympanic membranes-wanted the bass around a minute 10 to feature a little more and be a bit fatter. but nice work overall.

26-nearly there thank fuck(in terms of only 2 left)-really enjoyed it actually-jazzy swing to the sinister sounding keys. what else can i say...still can't get number 8 out of my head. but this was tight well done. should be up there in my oppinion.(ANDANTE)

27-lovely bass guitar!well produced overall-the strings @55 seconds and rhodes sucked me down into the abyss. Maybe not hip hop enough. very nice all the same.(seanm.music)

Great work all around-well done everyone-i'll try to put this up when your names are on beside it...

Good luck!

I got most of your names on there i think, might've made a mistake here and there.

Thanks for the votes-pretty surprised in honesty but a very happy boy indeed.

I just thought of something - with battles like this that have lots of contestants, if you don't place it doesn't mean you suck, it just means you didn't place. So how about everyone try and post their own top 5 or top 3?
