why does it close so soon?

Because we already reached our limit.

Whoa, this is going to be good. I just checked the submissions....

 

[Fade]

Here are the beats! The results will be posted tonight.

Listen to the beats:

 

[Spuntastic]

Only counting three - DFusion, Joeburnem and myself - who JUST used the sample. That's....well didn't expect that

 

[d.fusion]

i think matt-d also jst used the sample. anyway nothing wrong with that though right? btw i guess soulcity is going to take this one aswell.. overall good stuff guys!

 

[Sole Element]

I Sampled the melody and the drums from the song and added my own sounds on top of it. This is very cool to see different flips on the same sample, I love seeing how different beatmakers can create fire outta the same subject.

 

[Arodee]

Yes...i like the different creations

 

[JP hardboiled]

It's really tough to judge this battle as people came with some heat!:


@crog85 really awesome melody you made with the sample!

@d.fusion such a banger of a beat. When someone can make something simple, but banging that's gold! Great job.

@huggyHG I'm digging all the changeups though sometimes they don't go together, nice work.

@joeburnem great groove and drum samples though there's no real melody to compliment that.

@KCSwagger tight drum rhythm and the choice of the sample was eerie and unique. Also cool samples thrown in here and there. They add some character to the track. Nice job.

@Samply Charish really nice drum rhythms on this track though the melodies seem off here and there and too dissonant.

@ybeatz - nice job on the laid back vibe of this.

 

[Mike Free Music]

There is some good stuff up in here!

 

[oninkaf]

@Samply Charish and @ybeatz FTW!

 

[La CharishPekin]

@hardboiled i hear what you mean about dissonance but melodies off? i'm sorry bout i listened to my beat over and over and still don't hear that, aslo had homies listen to it and still nothing. I'm very big on timing
but I fucks with @ybeatz sample real tough!! good work yo

The results are in! See what went down https://www.illmuzik.com/beat-this-competition/archives/?d=2016-05-26

Props to all those that entered, and to the judges for taking the time to vote.

 

[Mike Free Music]

Congrats to dfusion. Nice beat yo.

 

[S3oulC1ty]

It's actually pretty funny @d.fusion expected me to win and I expected him to win. Though, I honestly didn't expect to even be a runner-up. Felt my track was pretty bland compared to others.

@Mike Free Music and @KCSwagger, for example, I thought would've placed over me.

 

[oninkaf]

Congrats to @d.fusion and to all other contestants. This was a challenging flip and you all did real good. Harry would be proud till next time!

 

[Mike Free Music]

@S3oulC1ty. Thanks yo. Your track was nice and had flo'ability good mix. I probably went to left on this one and didn't have what the judges were looking for.

 

[d.fusion]

thanks guys, i really wasn't expecting to win this one seeing as a lot of beats had the sample flipped very nicely and really made their own thing with it. I wasn't too pleased with the mix on the beat but luckily for me i guess this wasn't the judges main criteria so who spottet me using the last horn sound of the sample as my leading portion along with the bass sample??
anyways this was my first time sampling off of youtube as i usually just sample vinyl, i guess that's why i didn't bothered too much with the overall mix, weird ol me i guess
it has been fun though, now lets finish that indana jones beat!

 

[JP hardboiled]

Yep vinyl is def best when sampling so I dig it! There are tons of record stores to dig through in Chicago!

Congrats on winning the battle @d.fusion . It was a good one.
