Beat This! - September 27-28, 2017

[Fade]

The next competition will be from September 27-28th! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on September 27th at around 10am ET, and end around 8pm ET, or until we have 16 contestants (whichever comes first). Voting will be for 1 day, on September 28th, where the results will be posted the same day.

Go here to signup (click the "signup" tab - it will open up on the signup day)

Theme: SAMPLE FLIP Willie Hutch - "I Choose You"

• You must flip Willie Hutch - "I Choose You"
• You can download the YouTube video into MP3 format here.
• Your beat must be no longer than 3 MINUTES!
• Whichever part of the song you sample, it must be noticeable. Don't hide it too much with effects where we can't tell where it came from.

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

From now on, the voting will be by all members! 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 (depending on the mood I'm in).

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.

Sponsor

This month, the competition will be sponsored by Greg Savage & DIY Music Biz, where the winner will get 1 on 1 consultation from industry insider Greg Savage on music licensing.

Rules

Man! There are some good concepts in this beat battle! Flipping a track is like us all looking at the same mountain from different angles. The different perspectives add so much depth to the original piece of work. Great work everyone!
