djdiggla Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 good night these are so good. I've listed through a couple times and narrowed down to Dan and Doob. Fucking all amazing beats though. Nobody is really out of the running... I'm going back and forth on em all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broma Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Quality is super high on this one guys. Could easily see this as a Delfonics Remixed... CD Next to impossible to choose just one... as always but even more so than normal this time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Burglar Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Listening to these now. The competition is tight! I'm torn between Dan, Rockwell, and Phonetic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wax On Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Between Dan and Phonetic for me. Gotta be Dan tho, total prog rock heat! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psychedelic Schizophrenic Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 It's going to be a tough job to pick only one to vote for as everyone entered boss mode for the battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Wow these are all hot. Psychedelic reminds me of no guts no glory by yungun and mr thing. Dan's is crazy. Phoenetic's is live-o and doob's is great at that other tempo. Almost arbitrary to pick. Gotta think in judging terms for the most inventive use of the material rather than just the best sound I think... hard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Yeah, I only listened to them all last night (I restrict myself to not listening til I've done mine and there was no speakers at work when I posted this) and top marks all round, I reckon. Really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00ban Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Super! not gonna say who I went for but they were all good. Brave or Rocky to go for that sample too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Ha, yeah I was painfully aware I was playing fire there! But despite all the versions out there, I've always wanted to try that one. It's why I actually made a start early on this time - I figured that if I could come up with a loop that wasn't exactly like I'd heard before and not too shit, I'd plough on with it. If not, I'd have time for a restart with a different sample. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phonetic Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 All the entries are dope.Some really nice comments too! I wasn't too happy with my entry but to read some of you guys are feeling it is great.Usually I just make beats for myself & hardly ever upload or finish anything.These beat battles are just what I needed to give me a kick up the arse!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danswift Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 These beat battles are just what I needed to give me a kick up the arse!!Likewise. Up until 12 months ago I'd not made any sampled music or beats for about 10 years or something and I had no real motivation to do so either..basically, I was finished with sampling. When I joined the forum, one of the things that I liked most about this place was the fact that there were beat battles and I was content just to be a spectator and watch the dudes here battle it out but that completely changed when Rock Well chose the Bob James 'One' album and I decided that i had to get involved. I'm glad I did because that particular battle was epic in my opinion, everyone brought some serious heat and I still enjoy listening to those tracks people contributed. Bob would be so proud... I can't thank Rock enough for that kick up the arse too tbh. These tracks are dope btw and I like them all.There's some quality on display here for sure and i'm struggling to pick just one at the moment as the standard is high from everyone this time around although I've got to admit that I'm slightly disappointed that Mr Diggla hasn't done a Trap mix for the battle as this lp would have been perfect fodder for one. C'mon Dirk, you know how much I hate Trap except when you make it so get one done anyway !.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulda just done it all internally and banged something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kut_class Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 damn, lots of great beats. personal favourites are Dan, RockWell and Doob. hmmmm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Dan and Phonetic - as I've said before, i'm just pleased to be helping out. Forums like this should be about building real communities that will in turn nurture talent. So much of the good stuff that's happened to me and my mates over the last handful of years has links back to this place. These battles have definitely helped me out no end too - about half the beats I've actually finished have been for a DV beat battle of some sort and I've learned shitloads of stuff through the neccesity of the challenge along the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Oh and despite trying my hardest to break from the crowd, I had to vote Dan in the end. Such a high standard all round but over time it bubbled to the top. Somebody with a record label really needs to release a Danswift album one of these days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psychedelic Schizophrenic Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It certainly was a damn tough one as everyone did a fantastic job this month but It came to down to Doob and Dan Swift for my vote. Dan just pipped it by the smallest of margins, if there was give everyone a vote option then this was the round! Looking forward to the next battle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonetic Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Just been listening to them all again & Iv gotta give it to Danswift.You say you freestyled that on 2 SP's? Amazing man. All really good entries this week. Some top quality shiz Edited September 15, 2017 by Phonetic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Phonetic-yeah I do all my tracks live on the pads of my Sp404 and record straight to Mini disc or onto cassette because I don't own any music making software to do them with. The drums are chopped up and combined and resampled with the basslines to make the rhythm track loops and I just jam out with the other samples until I get the entire arrangement sounding how I want it then bash it down onto the MD player. I'm a caveman who needs to learn how to use Ableton basically,which I will do...erm soon....probably, hehe. Oh yeah, i really liked everyone's beats for this battle and in the end it came down to Doob and Phonetic for me personally with Phonetic grabbing the vote for the cool 90's vibe. Top marks all round to everyone for the challenge ,it was great to see what peeps did with what I thought was pretty tricky source material tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
