Welcome to battle 18
In this battle I wanted it to be a bit more interactive and get people to help me pick the samples.
I think it’ll be a bit of a refresher and I hope it’ll give us a good turn out.
(You can read the process in the first few posts)
I asked for a year and two genres and got 1969 and soul funk.
I searched for “soul funk 1969” on YouTube and the 18th result in the list was this track.
and it’s the track you must sample
I wanted to also add a lot of variety to use so I asked for a year from the 18 years of 1962-1980… I got 1979 as a suggestion.
As sampling soundtracks is a popular thing round here I searched for “soundtrack 1979” and randomly picked these in the top results
So I hope we have plenty to use.
Bullet point rules.
-
The 18th result funk track must be used in your beat, it can be a loop or a vocal sample or even just a snare drum but you must use it
(Gene Chandler, In My Body’s House) -
Use anything or as much as you want from the apocalypse now and alien soundtrack
-
Drums from any source
-
Bass from any source
-
Vocal scratches, dialogue from any source, movies and short chops from hip hop acapellas allowed
-
No full acapella verses
-
No soft synths, although bending a sample and chromatically playing it like a synth is fine
I always like to give two weekends to complete your beat so if you want to take part please send me your beat in a format I can easily download by the end of the day anywhere in the world on Thursday 16th February
Thanks and I hope you’re all happy with that
