Drum n' Bass Battle #2 (Arcade Edition) [WINNERS ANNOUNCED!]

The Lounge Mission Briefs

Here is the Playlist for the Drum n’ Bass Beat Battle #2 (ARCADE EDITION)

1st PLACE!!!
@looms

2nd PLACE!!
@MichalHo

3rd PLACE!
@J-Hz
(tied with @TRAINTRACS, but I had to vote. It really was a tough choice.)

So many bangers. We really get it done!

So the VOTING goes as is… If you submitted, you get a vote.

Give your top three, and give a run down why you picked them. Call out your favorites, and also the ones who almost made the cut.

Give any analysis you feel would help the producer able to make better tracks, but also remember to be kind… Music is subjective, so don’t go too hard.

IF YOU DIDN"T SUBMIT… why? its fun.

You can still give some critique and rank your favorites, but in the end, only those who submitted can vote.

This was totally fun, and I feel honored to enjoy this experience with you all.

Thank You!

To VOTE, just write in the thread who your top three are and why… I’ll do the rest.

  1. Track 16 love the atmospheric vibes. Apache drums on point

  2. Track 15 catchy video game chip tune sound, creative and love the chord stabs

  3. Track 14 great jungle vibes, MGS references is a plus and vocals.

Track 2 went hard…honourable mention

Great work everyone, production wise all on point. I just chose the ones that i enjoyed subjective wise but thanks, this was super fun

Just had a quick flick through them and there are some bangers in there! Everyone smashed it! I’ll cast my votes once I’ve had a proper listen.

  1. 14 – feels like '94, proper oldskool jungle, great atmosphere
  2. 16 – reminds me of an old Hidden Agenda tune
  3. 8 – even though it’s got a straight beat, I dig the harmonies and synthwork.

15, wow for going 8bit all the way.

Not a single tune that I hated, except mine. Sometimes I wish humans never invented competitions. Again, great job everyone.

Edit: corrected spelling mistake

Ooooo, this is going to be a toughie. After a first pass listen on the last Battle I think I’d already short listed my top 5 or 6.
A first pass on this playlist and all are in the running (except my own obvs!).
Will do a deep dive after work…

Here are my votes:

  1. 15 - love this! Super interesting to listen to, and really cool drum work
  2. 7 - pure filth. Sounds like early tech itch or something.
  3. 16 - nice production and floaty vibes

My votes are in

#1 track seven, almost spat my coffee out, what a banger, dirty dirty track…

#2 track 16 lovely old school roller vibe, very Ltj, classic feels from this…

#3 track eight more contemporary sound, but it’s got great movement and the composition was spot on.

Well done everyone for the submissions it’s was a pleasure listening your work.:+1:

You have to pick three. Just don’t pick you own.
