Open Challenge, Vinyl Edition

[a.D.]

That's interesting you hear that coming through in my music-i'm not doing it purposely,but yea,lol,personally-contents are definitely under some serious pressure. Thanks man. And thanks a lot mohzus & other that have had some good words about my beat,it's more than appreciated.

this was one of the hardest decisions ive made in a while. this battle was nasty! and i enjoyed everyones beats. Count, Old tapes, n Teewok came with some real soulful beats; Kel almost broke my neck with that remix; Blav, AD, IIIII n Formal came off with some straight bangers! DJ Mellow switched up with tempo wit that booty shakin break. Gis had some real creative samples too. All in all just a great compilation, but in the end i gave my vote to Teewok, with AD n Blav close behind.

Wow... let's do some cover art and put these out as an EP. Sick... sick... beats. I loved reading up on the different production notes/techniques. Lots of favorites here, but I think I gotta give it up to adru. Nicely done man. Great balance between the grime and polish.

totally down with the ep idea

[a.D.]

Thanks a lot count,i appreciate that a lot-and that's a dope idea to make this an official little ep. we should maybe all get some bandcamp shit going as a collective,with a better name than just "sp forums..."S.Pro's?S.Prose.. lol,yo I really appologize for coming off somewhat patronizing when this started up,i musta been having a bad day-and it's good to see a vet from the good ol days(a whole 2-3 years ago,lol,not really a long time ago at all) back up on here,wish more people would come back.

Word up man... I hear you.

The bandcamp page is a good idea. I'll mess around with it a bit and put a link up in the next day or so. We could do separate volumes with the open challenges... or maybe all the arena stuff. Maybe have a new volume go up there every week or so. Naming it something without "sp-forums.com" is a good idea too. Package it more as an independent collective.

how about "awesome crew yoyo boys"

[ghost bazz]

oh man... I was gonna say that!

[a.D.]

Revirginizers?

Mono-Chops?

yo Mellow, you found some NICE drum break
I loved those synth sounds from formal
JakDaRabit - this female vocal part was crazy
I enjoyed the rest of the beats too, but I liked aD's and 5I the most

[djmellow]

had to go with blavatsky, it was a tough choice though everyone made really solid beats. his tune felt like a complete, well constructed song. i like the open challenge, this is my first time doing one, but i like the freedom you have to pretty much use whatever sounds you want, thanks for the kind words everyone. peace.

[blavatsky]

great stuff in here, and thanks for some of the flattering comments i've seen on here for my beat

very hard choice...teewok had the great strings/almost wu-tangy style
old tapes, great groove, nice snappy snare
gis sweden, killer spoon/bottle percussion
sierakula, a great mix / sample choices, very tight
kel, nice sick dark fast arp, dirty bass
IIIII - sick beat, good shuffle again dark sounds
dj mellow - great break, some cool funky instrument stuff too
4ormal - gameboy grit, zombie movie hip hop style
jakdarabid - cool soundtracky/tropical song
AD - had my attention from first sample, nice melody, dust , groove - winner

great battle guys

[EndorShores]

Man this was a very hard decision. Everything I heard was very inspiring to say the least. I had to vote for the first one I listened to for a second time which was lllll. Ridiculous intro into a smooth ass beat dope melody, seamless changeup almost didn't notice it happening. Great job everybody Im gonna download this for sure.
