We have a playlist!
I haven’t seen such a collection of bangers assembled since the closing scenes of V for Vendetta.
The voting rules:
Vote for your 3 favourite beats
1st = 3 points
2nd = 2 points
3rd = 1 point
Honourable mentions are for kudos only (but encouraged)
You are strongly encouraged to include constructive feedback for the tracks you vote for and (even better) for all tracks.
Only those who submitted a beat may award points, but you are also strongly encouraged to provide constructive feedback and general props to our brave beat makers.
1st: 03, thought this one was really bouncy and fun and i really enjoy some good stabs
2nd: 09, very classic vibe, love crowd sounds in a beat
3rd: 05, really enjoy the free floating nature of this beat, i enjoy the directions it goes
Wasn’t able to join in on the fun of beatmaking this time, but listening to what you all made is a nice comfort. Some incredibly creative work in that playlist!
Found the time to have a good listen through the playlist.
1 - Nice head nodding beat, I like when the “I believe in you” comes in. A little busy sounding in places.
2 - I love how funky and 80’s this is. I like the “oh yeahs”, love the envelope filtered guitar. The transition to the second part doesn’t really work for me
3 - Like the pitch shifted K Pop samples
4 - Solid beat. Really like the guitar bits. Not much progression. The bassline works really well -
5 - Like the digital artifacts on the intro. It’s got a cool kind of drunk, wonky vibe. The bass sounds great, great second half changeup
6 - Nice laid back vibe on this one, I can imagine someone rhyming over it in a summer based track, the “leave me alone” comes in as a nice surprise, good sense of progression. - HM
7 - Like the scratches and the big chunky bass,
8 - Free flowing beat and nice bassline, not so much progression
9 - Love the intro, dense vibes,
10 - Love the sunny, dubby, almost skanking vibe, very funky with good rhythm variations - HM
11 - Great shock intro with the “ow”, it’s dynamic and it’s got lots of drama. Def
12 - Love the scratches and the general wonkiyness, the synth towards the end doesn’t sit as well for me
13 - Love the summery cut up vibe. Sounds a little like Avalanches
14 - Tight with the strings and beat, love the rhythm change very slickly done
1: #1 - its got nice mixtape vibe, and the vocal sample make me feel good knowing someone belives in me
2: #6 - Solid summertime track
3: #12 - I like this one maybe the most but the (I assume, forgive me if I’m wrong) SP404 effects kinda got in the way of the track. If there was half as much those it would be my #1.
Been great listening to these all week, nice work everyone
Big thanks to @monquixote for a cool theme and organizing
My top three: #1 - 9 horns, scratching and moonlighting vocals. Dope beat #2 - 8 guitar chops, vocal snippets and baseline really worked for me #3 - 13 I liked the small/micro chops from moonlighting, had the vibe of the track and sat nicely over the simple drum beat
A bit like submissions I’m OFFICIALLY leaving it until midnight today to vote, but I’ll compile the results on Monday evening when I’m done with work so anyone who gets in before I compile it still counts.
As we’ve had a decent number of votes in now I’ll just call it when the time comes and if anyone hasn’t voted that’s just too bad as I’m sure everyone wants to start cracking on with the next challenge.
this playlist is just getting better and better!
