Well, it's a battle...we're supposed to fight! lol

Narrowed this one down to 5 ppl:

hseiken - nice use of the sax, very solid beat
lazer bear - some really cool things going on in here, you made a nice melody with the bass guitar... piano fills!!
IIIII - This one was funky! Loved the drums here. the piano touches were awesome
gis - that was sick man you didnt destroy anything! i like those fast pace drums in the back
asha c - very sick you found a way to make this even more mellow

Very tough call between IIIII and gis. Going with IIIII, really liked that one.

It would be cool to do a song just about the forums. Everybody reading this should email [email protected] a recording of you saying something. Anything. Or whatever... humming, gibberish, some weird sound that only you can make.. and I'll use it for a song about this supremely kickass website. I mention my SPeoples towards the end of this song, and also in another song that I wrote and will record soon. http://soundcloud.com/collins-spaedy/hate-song

You may have noticed that I posted the exact same message on the "your music" board. Couldn't help but repost it here because I think it could be a lot of fun and turn out great if I get some responses. OK, now time to hear the rest of the beats.

i liked hseikens beat a lot

ALL CAPS BABY!

HSEIKEN - NICE MELODY AND DRUMS SO VIBACIOUS I HAD TO MAKE UP THAT WORD TO DESCRIBE THEM.

ELLAGURU - I FOUND MYSELF SYNCING THE BLINKING OF MY STARE WITH THE SNARE. IT WAS THOROUGHLY DIGABLE. ALSO REALLY DUG THAT GUITAR ON THE LAST PART.

TEEWOK - GOING FOR THE HAT TRICK, EH? GREEDY BASTARD. GREAT EXAMPLE OF A SAMPLER ENHANCING THE SAMPLE. I DIG YOUR TRACK MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL TEN FOLD.

MUSICSPEAKS - HEAD NODDER. HARDCORE. ADRENALINE.

FLUENT - GOOD USE OF THAT LOOP EFFECT BUT, TO ME, THE DRUM PATTERN SOUNDS PRE-MADE.

LAZER BEAR - I CAN DIG IT BUT DAMN BRO,, WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT VCR?! A BIT TOO MUCH RINGING FOR ME. I HEAR SKILLS TOO, DON'T GET ME WRONG.

IIIII - EXTREMELY ORIGINAL. I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND WHY OR HOW IT SOUNDS SO GOOD TO ME, BUT IT DOES. BRILLIANT SPARING USE OF HI HAT. EVERYONE READING THIS SHOULD DOWNLOAD OWL WORSHIP!

GIS SWEDEN - REALLY COOL. DEFINITELY FELT THAT TAKE ME SOMEPLACE ELSE.

CRSSSPACE - THE DOPEST POPE RETIRE? DOPE TRACK. REAL DOPE.

ZOOMO - NOT BAD. ROCK ON.

ASHA C - THE DEEP VIBE OF IT CONJURED SOME OLD MEMORIES. HARD TO JUDGE BATTLE-WISE SINCE MY THOUGHTS KEPT DRIFTING AS I LISTENED TO IT REPEATEDLY FOR 10 MINUTES. I THINK I ENJOYED IT MORE EACH CONSECUTIVE TIME.

FLOWAKUNT - I WAS MILD WITH IT TIL THE THIRD THIRD. GOT LOUD FOR NO REASON BUT TO BE DOPE.

KORAKIOS - SO RAWLY DOPE! WHERE CAN I HEAR MORE OF YOUR TUNES?

I VOTE TEEWOK FOR A WELL DESERVED THREE-PEAT!

HSEIKEN-LOOOVE that lofi intro, Then it kicks in reallly sweet. The drums are freaaaking awesome. Love the melody you got going on and all the little chops are great. How did you get those smooth snare rolls?

ELLAGURU-The intro was just a little too disjointed for my own personal taste but it came together nicely. Took me a while to figure out what was going on. The off beat style kinda threw me but as it went on, it either drifted in time or I just adjusted to it. When the sub bass came in that was sweeeet...was that the sub bass effect and filter?Sounds great anyway.

TEEWOK-I like how you kept that bass intro and then bang it kicked in to a real hip hop groover.Great groove and that roll at 00:51 was excellent, howd you do that lil trick?The quality of this was really smooth, crisp and everything was clear.

MUSIC SPEAKS-Nice use of the guitar lick. The drums were really banging. Felt the guitar lick got a bit repeatitive after a while but i think you just pulled it back for the changeover before it became irritating. Then using a diffrent part for the 1:26 change worked well. The kick was BANGING. Nice reversed outro.

FLUENT-Smooth, loved the drum sound you got going on and how you kept the intro to the original in tact. Nice use of the djfx looper. A nice little outro would have worked well.

LAZERBEAR-Real drugged out vibe. Liked the drums sounds you got going on. Really hit that LOFI shiiiiz for this track. Did you use the bpm adjust, I always find it makes it sound a little strange with that. Overall good lofi vibe.

IIIII-Liked the lofi feel and the melody using the bass, I liked the scrapey percussion sound you used too. The 1:03 glitch was nice, like the track was just about to collapse but then came in smooth again. Real late night track.

GIS-Love that pulsing rhythm. The twinkly piano sounds were great, created a real creepy atmosphere, would work great as a fantasy kids movie soundtrack. Real vivid imagery with the track. The subtle bass worked really well. Excellent.

CRSSSPACE-Felt a little low in volume. Had a real jolty feel. I liked the rim shot you used. Could have been beefed up with vol and EQ. The snap snare towards the end was cool and I really liked those 'found sound' percussive rhythm. Actually..is that the bass pitched down and messed with?Really creative, Good work!

CHOPPERMAN-Nice loop. The drums really stood out. Nice hits with the piano chords. Enjoyed the vocal version too, good work

ZOOMO-Drums were really thumping, nice contrast with the mellow vibe of the music but real hard hitting drums. Great sounding drums. I think it would have benefitted maybe another layer aswell as the bass (from the sample) and your own sub bass. Overall though, nice beat.

FLOWAKUNT-Nice intro with the piano and I really liked how you used the bass, drums seemed really quite but gave it a nice laid back feel. I would have really liked it to kick in towards the end, I thought it was as it got louder but would have sounded great with a more upfront/louder drums as a 'second part'.

KORAKIOS-Real lofi as it came in, was a little difficult to fully appreciate the layers under the compression but i loved the glitchy feel of the hats. Really liked how it came in at the middle of the song and had a cool industrial sound. Some nice effects going on. Real sinister vibe. I liked the 'well defined' 'parts' like at the ending it had a totally differrent part which worked well. Really different vibe from other entries.

VERRRRRRY Tough decision for this one, my faves were: HSEIKEN, TEEWOK and GIS. Gonna go with HSEIKEN. Loved the clear drums and how it contrasted with subtle use of the vinyl sim to give the loop that lofi crackle and flutter, really great work.

MUSIC SPEAKS-Nice use of the guitar lick. The drums were really banging. Felt the guitar lick got a bit repeatitive after a while but i think you just pulled it back for the changeover before it became irritating. Then using a diffrent part for the 1:26 change worked well. The kick was BANGING. Nice reversed outro.

i know exactly what u mean.. it even became irritating for me to.. lol..
Thanks for the feedback..

Congrats Hseiken!

Thanks guys! I'll post new battle soon.

@Asha - I chopped up a drum break that had a roll in it and put the roll as a separate pad when I played out the drums on the pads.

Can I still submit my beat to this battle? https://soundcloud.com/calvin-hobbes-1/cruwest
