[asha c]

Can never figure how to add the links to the poll, so apologies for that.

[Green Dutch]

Links don't work. All you have to do is put the link right after the name in the poll. Preview it you'll see.

Hasn't been here in Arena for a long time. Found this battle yesterday, started something, but didn't manage it in time. Maybe I'll stick the result here later.
Voting for Green Dutch. Nice harmonic progression of that two samples.

GIS: Happy to see you back on the forum!!! Loved your beat too! Like how you used that loop and then the vocal chops worked really well!!

BLIGGEDI: At first I was like "hows he gonna use this loop" but then it just switched up into the verse and kicked in nice!!! vocals worked great, liked the brooding vibe!!

LOOPMANTRA: NICE, liked the intro!!! The scratching was awesome!!! loved the pulsing effect (transformer effect/phase?). Vocal chops worked great too, good work!

GREEN DUTCH: Nice shuffle to the beat and those glitchy rolls were very nice!! loved how you worked the samples, beat had a nice forward pushing motion (if that makes sense?).

PROBOTECTOR: Did you use the BPM adjust on the sp, I normaly hate what it does to a sample, but this seems to have worked in a nice grainy kindve way!, nice use of the vocal chops too.

ELLAGURU: Nice warble on the intro! liked that pitch drifting you had going on, wasnt expecting the drums to kick in the way they did, kindve made me feel all whoooozy!!! not sure what I think about it, its like I'm getting into it but at the same time kindve feeling like seasick by it!!! Cool, different vibe from what you usually get in battles so nice work for experimenting and going in a different direction!!!

Votes going to loopemantra but I was torn between dutch, Bliggedi and GIS, tough one!!!!

[Danswift]

Tough choice between Loop and Green Dutch for me on this one..

Had to go with Loop in the end for coming with the most excellent scratchy vibes..

top work all round fellas,once again!.. Look forward to the next one!

[LoopmantrA]

Tough decision yeah. Liked them all, but Bliggedi and Dutch... Man, you guys nailed it this round. The layering and arrangements, especially on Dutch's track,beautiful.
Gonna vote for Dutch, on account of me humming the riff all day long, and you know when it momentarily sticks like that - it's a hit!
Nice round everyone

[ryba]

Late, But I'll stick it here:
Used SP303 and Minikaosspad 2S for some resampling, I also made one cut in a DAW at the end of a process.
Speech sample from Dagger of Kamui.
I enjoyed that samples, Asha!

Yo thanks so much Loop. I really loved that sample too. I made a vid to go with it that I thought fit the mood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFUBwYf-iIE

This was a super dope round for sure. It was tough choosing too because everybody had something great to offer. Bligeddi I picked yours because I thought the beat was just insane. I didn't like the vocals over that particular beat I think you could have kept them to one shots and let them appear here and there and focused more on that banger. Not that those vocals ain't dope! Just my thinking. I couldn't fault it other then that. I thought the intro was a perfect setup to that heat.

Shieet Kung Fu hustle!
And just when I was thinking of changing the avatar haha fkn love that movie man

[bliggedi]

thanks dutchgreen. that means a lot!

ellaguru: wild
probotector: new yorky
dutch: stuffed! as always, a beat in your own style. nice.
loopmantra: atmospheric. you should do an album! very much love in it. very professional
gis: same vocal as loopmantra, nice walking beat. i like
asha c 2: i liked that a lot! if a beat can have a weight this one's a ton or sth
asha c 1: works, but too short for me.

there is a lot i could say to all these productions. the melody on dutch is the best. the very smooth cuts on loopmantra made me jealous! asha c with his own style. the rawness on ellaguru. the rustiness on gis. liked them a lot. but i go with probotector. the beat is melodic, bouncy, a lil off-beat, loud presence, makes me wanna rap! that's it! for me. even though i nearly couldn't relate to the source material. too long ago : D

happy dopeness my friends. who's next?!

btw: ryba did a very good job too.

[gis_sweden]

Many different styles. Heres my notes
BLIGGEDI - impressive
ASHA 1 - microflipvibe
ELLAGURU - unexpected
ASHA 2 - electronicataste
GREEN DUTCH - comfortable
PROBOTECTOR - muchlikeable
LOOPMANTRA - cant-get-that-loop-out-of-my-head

I vote Green Dutch. Classic style. Smooth.
Honorable mention. Asha 2 electronica submission

GIS: Happy to see you back on the forum!!!

Thanks a lot Nice to be part of the SP-Forums again. I have missed it (and my SP).

[Green Dutch]

Damn thanks for the votes everyone. I'll put a new round up as soon as I gather all the samples. PEace!
