I vote astrogato

Sorry no feedback this time...

my vote's gotta go to my homie tkdwn. everything he flips is dope as hell, this included.

First, 14 subs is i think the most ive seen in my couple months of battling here, so feels like corks popped the night before - props to e'rieone for making these boards my main hang these daze, HNY

Arite, *mho's:

r4ph:
crunchy mids a bit harsh on my ears, but for raw flippage this was dope

Atls:
classic oldschool vibes, pitchmatching and subtle use of the vocal samp was killer well done, I tried but couldn't get it. props.

gis:
the kind of cognitive dissonance i like - timings of the google samp and the choice of text just nailed it.

OTBT:
brings the bounce - great chops man... pichmatched vocal sample complements and the best is that you made google sound hip.

tkdwn:
got the lofi vibe the peeps love, but for me the four pad to the two bar phrase structure and 45 second length doesn't compare effort-wise to other subs this week*

Fresh:
Turned google into a hook..! Dude, you've been a consistent fav. of mine all these last few weeks, always flipping out of the box. Who knew google had flows? Creative as.

dimXL:
loved the processing of the google vox - took all the shitty harshness out and sits in the sweet spot mixwise.. whole track is wicked combination of textures, pads, grit and a ninja solo!

ella:
textbook vibes from you man, you bring pro heat every week. Getting a P.U.T.S. vibe from that bass bro: luuuvvv + points for getting in blavatskys bamboo-sample

l i f: I'd like to say i promise to slow down next week, but really... i aint writing no checks my A.C.C.

chopper:
lazy-ass headnodder and chops for daze man... such a great beat from that simple break.

sebP:
wtf - wher'd your track go dude?!

rak:
got the bassline bumping from the samps and I'm a sucker for live drumming - props bro!

blavatsky:
brings the illest bass, sickest filters and has killer chops. And wins my vote for allathiss and for the tongue-in-cheek vocal-snatch.

vote for blavatsky, really reamarkable work in all senses (composing, recording, use of fx, vibe, feel etc)
sorry for the few words guys, hard and fast times here

r4ph431 - heavy raw lo fi, big fat sounds still. You have a tight grip on that sound.
ATLS - dope knocky beat, warm mix
astrogato - amazing intro, cool beat, really live sound
gis_sweden - nice, I appreciate the poetry, cool phaser effects too I'm gonna try that...
otbt - super cool flip really bumpy nice way to flip the sample - great rhythm.
tkdwn - great full mix, on that compression tip.
dimXL - wow cool sounds, unique flip with the synth
ellaguru - great tune nice bass jam your style is a mystery to me, makes me want a 303...
l i f - what! crazy drums and a funky jam, very live flip
chopperman - respex to the ill chopper skill. "SP doctor with the smooth operation".
sebP - your beat went away
blavatsky - nice! great spin on this with the tempo. cool grimy synth at the end.
rak - cool spin on the samples - crazy second part!

this is gonna be a very very cool year...

thanks man, but ironically those last times i only used an sp505...sometimes the pitch function , if you work samples maniacally, could give cool results...this sp sounds near to the glorious 303, but the 303 is the 303...

r4ph431 - Nice lurching beat, I imagine a blood stained samurai walking in slow motion to this

ATLS - Cool wonky feel on the drums, great use of the timing on the sample to your advantage ; I think i just wanted another change up somewhere in there

Astrogato - Loud mix, hitting real hard, nice use of SP fx

Gis_Sweden - Soulful, lofi, dirty, I like it

OTBT - Nice quick tempo, a change up from the usual - crisp track; i like the variety

tkdwn - Dig the lofi aspect, the messy-yet-glued together sound, could have maybe used a little more development/length

FreshSerfPro - Took me offguard, feels like a whole track, composition, mix, everything fits, fat bass sound

DimXL - catchy intro, Dbeam represent! liked the snare too

ellaguru - On that lofi drum tip again, panned vocals - sub tone bass; very chill. Liked the break/interlude alot.

l i f - The upbeat tempo and sample mixup is great; like the change from the usual. Nice snare

Chopperman - I think this is one my favorite tracks you've done; like what you did with the vocal sample alot. Great beat on the drums - nodding...

SebP - track missing?

Rak - Nice dirty feel , dirge-y - liked when the nasty bass kicked in towards end


Tough one; favorites were chopperman, ellaguru, FreshSerfPro, astrogato.....it's really a toss up, everybody brought it this round

Gave it to chopperman

having not listened to the samples and coming from fresh ears...

3_blavatsky
2_ATLS
1_astrogato

really good round from all. wish i'd had time for this one.

It s hard to choose this time... too many good entries

vote for Blavatsky

went with Freshserf for rocking that google voice so well. Astro and Blav also killed it.

.. a few others killed it as well.. that's just my top three.
Stoked for 173!
