Coming into this as a total nOOb, it's really exciting to see the variety of beats coming out from the same samples. Lots of interesting sounds and textures I'd love to learn to master.
Arcade Swagger: Cool beat, I like the crunchy distorted snare, and the brutal Gas pedal-shock! Dense, saturated mix.
otbt: I like the layering of samples and the depth it gives. Dark, deep sounds and a great flying saucer ending.
Alnitak Kid: I enjoy the beat boxing, the moving filters and the variety of how samples are presented. The snare coming out with/without reverb.
Locksmith: Do you resample with the mic on? Cool, I like the extra layer of clicking pads.
IIII: Wow, I'm impressed with what a different sounding room you made out of those samples. Really like the cool tabla-style (?) drumming. Like a dark and mysterious temple. Indiana Jones would reach for his whip.
Ellaguru: Cool white noise synth sounds, good beat and rumbling bass. Great variety of sounds happening keeps it really interesting.
My vote is torn between IIIII and Ellaguru. Two very different tracks. It's more or less a tossup, but I think the clubby feel of Ellaguru synth stabs wins me over. Too scared of the temple!
Well done all of you! I'm humbled by all your cool entries, but the love the battle form which forces me to finish something, however sloppy.
Cheers!
