[HELLOPILLOW]

durdy
your drums man...

Alnitak_Kid : my 2nd, creative

[Durdy]

I gave it to jpow shit sounded like Flashing Lights! matter of fact you should put some flashing lights a 'Capella on that shit and call it a RMX

[Durdy]

thnx pillow urs was something else. kinda scary lol. my second would probably be Parker tho

[Alnitak_Kid]

lots of top shelf stuff this round. easily up there with the big playas dudes!

hard choice between jpow88, mattinhat, lif and magicsean. all dope.

gonna go with l i f for this round.
your beats the perfect balance of right and left field.

[l i f]

Durdy: Dim the lights, snuzzle on the rug with yr girl

Hello: you got the grit-snare down

Parker: a bit like durdy, only more wine was consumed

Chopper: really subtle reverb and textures, classic chops.. this is a joint

Jpow: epic bigness to this... amplified the vibe but still chill, swinging hard.

Green: gave me Shopping Carts Crashing/Ends Against the Middle vibes love that moody early 2000's alt-rap electro-nasty

Alnitak: like what you did with the efx samples in the background, track is solid af...

MattmaN: MmmmMmM-Mmmm. This is one that peeps should listen to 3 or 4 times before judging... very understated but gives a lot on repeat. Dig the drumbeat a whole lot.

Senju: percs like putting a wooden spoon in the washing machine.. love that! leftfield goodness.

MagicSean: liked the chops a bunch... made those key samps sound modern-classic

Smoking: best use of sx/fx ive heard in a long, long time.. another track from this weeks batch i'd love to hear a defjux/APC/type acapella over

LastTry: lullaby for broken dreams.. reverb is nostalgic.. love those last few seconds

Well, way hard to pick one this time... offerings are real quality and uniformly dope.. if forced, i'd say top three GreenDutch, Smoking and Jpow, but such a strong week i'd love a mixtape of evryones tracks to bump in the new year.

Vote: JPOW'88

[smoking patterns]

My top 5 :

Durdy : Loved it from beginning to end ... really smooth, got some boards of canada feels !
Chopperman : The chopper strikes back ! Now you got to lay down some vocal on this beat bro ! loved it !
Jpow : Something of dj Shadow in this beat ... Really killed this entry !
Alnitak Kid : This bass ... Loved the slow funky beat you did... work perfectly with the sample provided !
LiF : You got it on this one ... definitely some flylo vibes in my opinion, loved it ! I'm really curious to see how the Sp808 works !! great entry

I had to go with Lif...

Feels good to be back in the battlefield, I need to get back more seriously on te 404 after a long period focusing on other things ! looking forward to the next one !

[last_try]

I always love hearing what elements of the provided samples people gravitate towards. like some people go for the classic soulful or funky chops, some go for the haunting, atmospheric bits, some go for those organic, wooden sounds...

In the end I was choosing between parker (love the unexpected way you flipped that sample and created this woozy, smoggy kind of vibe), l i f (loving the shuffle on that percussion) and smoking patterns.

smoking won out for me in the end. love the way that track feels both primitive and futuristic. like blade runner in mumbai or some shit.

great set of samples flipped into a diverse and surprising set of beats this time around. i don't think i could have picked a better time to get involved here.

[Green Dutch]

I liked JPOWs the most. Dope shit though fellas.

[magicsean]

lif - what u mean by modern classic? thanks for listen tho, appreciate the words. gave u my vote too, u had me with the beat chop + clean mix.

real dope entries this week too.

[jpow88]

I also voted for lif, the crazy energy and flow of the track was sickk

[Chopperman]

Happy New Year SP fam!

I tried to sum up the flips as if i was going to write rhymes for them.

Durdy - eerie yet pleasant dreamland vibe
HELLOPILLOW - abandoned hospital vibe
PARKER JORDAN - drunken nostalgia vibe
jpow88 - heavy feels vibe
Green Dutch - fonky dungeon vibe
Alnitak Kid - old soul vibe
Matt in a hat - cozy spaceship vibe
magicsean - 'lets get weird' vibe
l i f - martian with soul vibe
Smoking Patterns - deep concentration vibe
LastTry - moment of truth vibe

My vote goes to Durdy.
2nd favorite was Smoking Patterns's

[Durdy]
