illest o.g.
The next competition will be from January 27-28th! See the information below.
Signups
The signups will be on January 27th at 12pm ET (New York time), and end around 8pm ET, or until we have enough contestants (whichever comes first - depending on the theme). Voting will be for one day, on January 28th, where the results will be posted the same day.
Check out the Beat This! ranks: https://www.illmuzik.com/beat-battles/?cat=bthis
*Note: check out https://time.is/ to find out the correct time difference for your timezone.
Theme: REMIX
Time Limit: 4 minutes
Vocal Track Allowed?: YES
===========
*NOTE: From now on there's a criteria called "vocal track allowed?". It will be yes or no. If it's "yes", this means you can have a full vocal track with your beat (acapella, for example). You can still have occasional vocal snippets (but don't rely on them too much).
===========
You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!
Voting
If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned.
Beats
All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favouritism when voting.
Rules
If you're not sure about the rules, read this thread.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about the competition, please post them in here.

Theme: REMIX
Time Limit: 4 minutes
Vocal Track Allowed?: YES
- You must make a beat and use this Marvin Gaye acapella: [ DOWNLOAD WAV FILE (31.8 MB) ]
- You can use parts of the acapella if you wish, but it's preferred if you use the entire acapella to create a remix of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". The original is around 117 BPM so if you can't use the entire acapella that's okay.
- Please use the WAV file provided because it's a remastered version that was done recently.
- Of course you can alter the acapella as needed (chop, reverse, effects, pitch, etc.)
- You have 4 minutes!
- If you're not sure what is the best way to do a remix like this, just ask in this thread.
