Polling is for trois jour. Two picks each. Oui oui, bon bon...

As usual, hard to choose, as everyone brought some flames to the fire.

However, I havt voted...

Sleeps Numb - as usual, some of my fave bits...just wish they were expanded and explored! More!

Kel404 - for *that* chord change, if nothing else. Oof!

MIIT: another epic entry! Its like a musical journey and your production is always clean and crisp! Could you share a few tips as to how you process the samples?

Kel: loved this one, i was just gutted it didnt last longer! I’ve also got a couple if dolls I’ve built some DIY Oscillators/noisemakers in!

It's all Koala, obviously.

But I jest. I'll put a post in Production Techniques later, to save clogging up this poll thread with what will no doubt be a waffly, wordy, self-regarding post.

Vote: U_J_F_R - that last beat did it for me :p fire homie love it
Runme_Raw - such a chill vibe i can relate 2 at the moment love it!

Loved all the entrys tho !! sweet to hear so many different takes !

I went with U_J_F_R and sleeps numb this time, both of which had cool switchups

Really good/interesting stuff all around, dynamic selection of heaters!

@asha c think my friend got that baby from Etsy, I dunno anything about DIY circuit stuff but looks like fun..

tough tough call here but the last U_J_F_R beat and 0:20 on of Kel404 absolutely blew me away so they snagged my votes. honorable mention to SLEEPS, loved when you let that skull snapping break ride around 1:20. so much talent on display in all entries tho. a real honor to be in the same battle as y'all!

I hate voting ..

Obviously I have a knack for anything that's not quantized and polished so I went with kudos. The change up in the beat solidified it for me. Plus that picture is a moment to remember
This had the best energy

Run bros tied for me
Pu$$y talk ~wet up the ladies
Bass on that wave station ..c'est bonne
Kel with the fcking vibed out lab. Fireside utube no fluff no guff. <3
Sleepy finally didn't make a full 8min tape and FT dad moded out a beauty

Isihambi deserves a major applause for breaking up the playground beef and providing a boom bap slapper of a video.
Welcome gee. Hope you stick around. Your style and sound is much needed and appreciated

Mics and Asha need to team up for a tandem tape release.
You guys buildem like your fallen-to-software idols used to do it on hardware. Very dj Shadow & precisely cut. You get this hifi sound with the dirtiest gear. Dunno how you guys do it.. maybe just more effort than the rest of us?

Each beat entry was unique and full of personality

Looking forward to another 1

Funny you should say that. He's just asked me to remix a track off of an album he's done with some yank lass.

303 ain't dirty, lol. It's warm and 'round' if anything. One of the reasons I love it and came back to it from the P-6 is that you can sample and resample over and over on 21khz without losing any real noticeable fidelity.
Any effort I make is in the arrangement, if anything. My style is obvs to collage rather than flip, so once the samples I like are in tune with eachother, I'm off to the races. Sound-wise I don't add much more than a bit of MFX13 EQ and occasional reverb/delay, which is probs why it retains hi-fiability. I wasn't around for the peak 2010s SX era as anything other than an observer, so the lo-fi thing passed me by...

I'm not a big fan of voting either. But it has to be done.

All the work is amazing!

Ashley, I can recognize your style with my eyes closed. Keep it up!

Mics Int'Trees — that incredible rhythm really hit me – one vote goes to you.

SLEEPS NUMB — you chose some really cool samples, and that processing… my second vote goes to you!

Big thanks to everyone for taking part!

MIIT definitely gets things sounding clean and crisp! I always feel like my tracks are muddy and i do very little mixing, just the odd EQ, delay and now on the mk2 plenty of pitch shifting, which i used to do with the djfx on the OG so the pitch on mk2 has been great! I also rarely chop the breaks and just use them as is, often with delay for variation!

FUCK WHAT A TOUGHIE!

AFTER HELLA LISTENS N TOO CLOSE TO THE DEADLINE:

I PICKED KUDOS & RunRun_Raw

BE BACK WITH THE TLDR BREAKDOWN TONITE!

Good round! Congrats to Kel, romping home with their short but oh so sweet entry!

I believe I've seen 4 Kel victories in my time on here (according to my spreadsheet, at least) and, iirc, they've abdicated responsibility for the next round to someone else each time, so watch this space as to w'appens wit' next one! Hopefully they'll come up with the goods.

Edit: Oh, I didn't see that Sleeps got a last minute vote, drawing them. But Kel is on it, apparently!

Killer round everybody! Sleeps numb asked me to provide the new samps so I’ll start a new thread in a couple of hours..

CONGRATS TO KEL! YOU KILLED IT BROTHER! THIS WAS ANOTHER ONE FOR THE AGES, HONORED TO BE DOING THIS WITH YALL. CANT WAIT TO HEAR WHAT KEL COOKS UP!

SORRY I FELL ASLEEP BEFORE MY BREAKDOWN. STILL GOING TO DO IT AFTER THE FACT
