SP-FORUMS

lets gooooooooooo

waywards bass was dope, but voted for IIII vocals got me good

Voted IIIII this time, feels well-done and was easy to listen to!

Was between IIIII, lentilsoup and LoopmantrA. Voted for LoopmantrA.

voted for lentilsoup

runner up for me was k loor

Was stuck between IIIII and lentilsoup but had to go for lentil in the end

Best battle in a looong time for me, in terms of consistency across all entries. Tough call, super props Lu, TGN, Lentils, EVERYBODY

Vote TGN, simply great concept/execution duuuude love the minimalism is cleeen and drums so on point.
Lu I love your upload on auto repeat, might have to do that myself nextime.

Went with IIIII, TGN close 2nd! Thanks for putting up the poll IIIII.

Oh IIIII for sure

Voted IIIII, is most complete than others. Second for me LoopmantrA.

Aye pazword I see you, ur like the second coming of my third alt account

Wayward with my runner up

Adding some extra reviews cuz i feel bad for flaking on the last couple of votes.

K.Loor — Great sample choices, bass fit in nicely, wanted some more presence in the drums.

Loop — Same underlying sample as Loor but with lots more added texture and intricate percussion. Maybe too busy, though?

Lu — Sense of humour in the intro, transition to the main beat was seamless through the bell and reversed sample (which I really, really liked). After all that, I wanted the beat to last longer!

TGN — That the violin sample doing all the heavy lifting? Either way, sounded dope and you somehow managed to be tasteful with the DJFX. Really nice harmonizing of the vocal samples too. Is this some chromatic mode on the MKII coming into play?

Lentilsoup — Mega texture, lotta microchops, with the vox and bass to keep it from getting too disjointed.

Pazword — Sample: destroyed. Love how it comes back in relatively cleanly around the 0:40 mark at super slow speed just as the piece threatens to go completely off the rails in a roar white noise. (And then it does anyway.)

IIIII — Integrates multiple samples, drums sat right, string drone gave the whole thing a beautiful hypnotic vibe, use of the vocal samples kept the groove from becoming repetitive and was really sensitively done. Technically and musically the strongest entry for me.

So this time it's IIIII for me, with TGN a close second.

Also, respect to IIIII for stepping in for Kel and running two good battles now.

Looks like I gotta do some diggin

Yeah I tend to overdo sometimes, I know. It's like, to me SP is pretty much like ink drawings, or linoleum carvings - there's no going back, you either embrace the mistake and make something out of it, or you start from scratch.
Being a lazy mo fo I almost always try to build something still
But it's all for fun either way

Great round, congrats IIIII !
