Wondering if you guys would vote for me

[HxC]

Last year I took a gang of my beats (48 to be exact) and put them all together on a CD that I pressed up and made copies of 'slimcase CDR' style. I stuffed hella envelopes and sent packages out to every magazine, record label, and 'mover/shaker' I could get an address for.

Urb Magzine.com got a hold of it and I was put into a contest called "The Next 1000". The contest is wrapping up soon. I think they narrow it down to 100, and put them in their annual "Next 100" print magazine issue.

I joined this site cuz I love the SP-606 beat machine, & it has become one of my favorite forums beyond beats. I got computer tips from DrSample303, I'm the same age as 606 Man, I follow the economic principles of detaIL, and my first piece of hardware was the Boss DR-660.

I invite ya'll to peep the feature on Urb, and if you're feeling my vibe to take the time a throw down a *****'n vote, leave a funny comment or whatever. Like any online contest- the shit is about as official as a high school election- I think you have to 'sign up', but that gives you a chance to win T-shirts or something like that.

I've never made no serious $$ off my music, and I've faced many challenges and times where I was thinking "Fuck this production shit" like pretty much everyone on this forum. There are tons of big-budget mofos in the contest, and I am just a dude with a dollar & a dream trying to get some shine.

In the spirit of true politics I am giving out some propaganda:
This here is a short video tutorial showing how you can disguise your sample sources:

And here SP users can download a WAV that may or may not be useful in your SP-related productions:

I said 'guys' in the title, and I'm wondering if there are ANY ladies on this forum? I love to see women get involved with engineering, and hope they would cop SPs to help keep all studio sessions from being 'swordfights'!

I have a few CD packages left- if anyone would like a copy of the CD, just PM your postal addy and I'll send it to ya while supplies last-

Stay up- Stay healthy- Keep tapping those pads and be thankful in this mad world we get to do things we enjoy like quantize, truncate, chop, etc etc..

Uno!

I already voted for u

[PHeMoX]

You got my vote too bro!

By the way you're right, there's lots of big cats on there too.

'Rehab' for example is definitely a professional and established band. What the f... is it doing there? Don't get me wrong, their music is very cool (got some CDs actually), but aren't they a bit too big for this? There's more of those producers who already earned their "millions" figuratively speaking.

Seems a tad unfair to me.

No problem. I was in berkeley today at Peet's coffee and this dude gave me a free cd from the Bay Area Art Collective and we started choppin' it up for a while. I'll rip it and load it for you guys and in the meantime I'm going to see if I can work with there label.

Thanks dudes. I forgot the Urb Next1000 thing is admittedly unclear.
Sometimes you'd click on the stars to 'rate' me & a signup box popped up.
If not you can 'register' @ this link:

Glad the U.S. political system doesn't use this method to vote or we'd all be screwed.. . oh wait .. we're already screwed...
