i voted for chuck, but all the entries were dope

Slowly we're at a point where every battle results in an album :O

vote/critics follow...

Very nice tunes from everybody.
I couldn't join this time as I was (still am) sick...
What can I say... Some serious music and great rhytms.
I've listened all for many times and I can't pass by not to mention
great vibes from Antee, BlackSnow, Chuck, Carpin Taxt, LoneStar Sleeps Numb... Won't say that others are not good but I like how some of you preserved the sound and feel of original sample and take the tune to a whole new level.

Yesteday when I was listening on headphones My daugter came in and she listened only LoneStars and Antee's tune from start to the end... enough said, kids just don't fake.
LoneStar gets my vote- superior arrangement, great drums!

cheers, Crumb

Great tracks guys!

My vote goes to Lonestar. I really liked how he used the synth bass that was included with the breaks sample.

Antee

BlackSnow
Relaxed & Funky feel on this one, good work!

Cerpin Taxt
Impressed me with proper layout and good sounddesign.

Chuck
Nicely melancholic beat - great drums

dibiase
awesome beats with a twist, all those breaks are kicking real hard

deep, hypnotic, trancy, gets my vote

The kids choosed Chuck , and I agree. I buy that car...

i voted sleepsnumb, this track takes me somewhere else...

antee - classic hip hop track, nice.
black snow - whooaa man, I see the progress! nice bassline. I really like this one man, youre goin in the right direction
cerpin taxt - I enjoyed those crazy short-sounds, nice vibe
chuck - so soft drums! the overall melody is not bad at all
dibiase - crazy track - in terms of everything. I like it!
gis - not really my style, but I think it was "proper" - chilled out vibe
lonestar - nice patterns man, I like the variety of the beat - dope sounds!!
sleeps - really relaxing track with some nice patterns too - nice work.

you got my vote man, I really liked this one!

first of all id like to say "peace sp-forums" copped my 404 in december and been hooked since and the site is truly a blessing!

anyways, im suprised aint nobody vote for my man antee; i know this isht is prolly closed but i'd vote for him he kept it simple and groovy just my taste.

props to dibiase too that was a close second, and to gis, im not really into techno/electronica but you seem to flip the most creative shit...

be prepared next battle im full throttle

yeah, so that's it.

LoneStar- congratulations

now, as a reward you became a part of the hall of fame, and you can pick the sample(s) for the next battle! yeah, but thats the obvious part..

i voted sleeps, but i quote your post, antee and dibiase -as i said before- made good groovy nice hot tracks on this battle...

Thanks for all the votes and kudos guys! I really appreciate it.
Congrats to our second and third winners too - you did well!
