Theme: Incredible Bongo Band "Apache" Sample Flip

• You MUST sample this song.
• We MUST be able to hear whichever parts you sampled!
• You can download the YouTube video in MP3 format here.
• This is a sample flip.

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Voting

From now on, the voting will be by all members! If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned (depending on the mood I'm in).

Beats

All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favouritism when voting.

Sponsor

This month, the competition will be sponsored by Greg Savage & DIY Music Biz, where the winner will get 1 on 1 consultation from industry insider Greg Savage on music licensing.

As a music producer I don't believe in sampling other music unfortunately. I know it used to be part of hip hop music (still with some artists). But times now have changed. Every producer should make his own unique music the help the industry go forward.

The industry is always moving forward....but trends get recycled.

Sampling is still very prevalent in the industry now....

Hotline bling was one of the biggest records last year.......Sampled.........is that not keeping the industry moving forward?

Just make the music you enjoy making, and if you want to branch out, then do it.
