jimmy penguin Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 made this routine in 2 days, i always end up using 7's for some reason.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wax On Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Thats really nice Jimmy, wonder if its too musical for the competition though... By that i mean that the focus of this is all on the sound (which is how it should be), but i'd imagine some big, loud, tech battle set with a million things happening at once, which isn't necessarily nice to listen to with your eyes closed, might do better. Occasionally on the bit where you wind back the drums it sounds slightly out, but when its in it sounds awesome. But then your cuts are proper sick, but it sounds like they were an afterthought to demonstrate your skills, mainly because you're cutting aahhh. I need to post a scratch file to get some pointers soon, reckon i'll get torn a new asshole!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy penguin Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 im not trying to win the battle, im trying to make it interesting, 7 competitors last year, a bit shit if you ask me, even if your not gonna win, at least enter and make it somewhat interesting, i couldn't watch any of the routines from last years uk heat, boring stuff, but thats just my opinion. my routine may be more musical, and the judges may not n=be into it, but the point is, anyone who knows there shit will enjoy this routine!

jimmy penguin Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 also if you saw the detailed list of things they are judging routines on youd know that it was never my intention to do well.style is the main category and what they mean by style is arm waving and gangster faces, ive got a pretty good gangster face, one of the best i'd say, but i didnt have a great angle on the cam to show it!arrangement is a big part of it though, and the arrangement of my routine os definetely my favourite thing about it.

Wax On Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Fair play mate Only 7 competitors? Crikey! Battling is dying on its arse quicker than i thought! Yeah all the euro electro type stuff does nothing for me either. I'd rather hear something musical any day! EDIT: just seen your second post. To be fair, based on what i've heard of your cuts, if you'd done a more "battle-y" routine with a shit load of cutting over a hard beat or two you'd probably place pretty high whilst doing something you aren't really feeling!

More people should be getting involved with this stuff and trying to show their own style, even if it's not what's trendy at the moment, that's not what it's about. It's also dope to see someone who's making scratch music/has fresh solo cuts, but also isn't completely against battling/competition. I don't see why there has to be such a necessary separation between people making music with scratching, and battling... it's all the same really and I don't think it's good for the art in general to shun some aspects of it in favour of other aspects. It's all just music made with turntables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. I don't think it's the style that is the be all and end all of a good battle routine, it's how well it's done. He said himself he made the routine in 2 days, and while it's dope regardless, think of how sick it'd be if he spent 2 months on it. If he kills it hard enough with this style the judges aren't going to overlook it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Really liked the first routine jimmy. A few years ago Asian Hawk won the UK DMC final with a purely musical routine beating much more technical DJs in the process (though he didn't score many points from the judges in the world's).

To the chagrin of a lot of people in the online community if i remember correctly? I might be wrong, but i'm sure i remember a chunk of people being sore about it... Never thought i'd see the day i used chagrin in a sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I really liked his set that year but I don't think it should have won. exactly, its a good set, but not a uk final winning one. also he did pretty much the same thing for the next few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
