    SHOWCASE: June 29 - July 6, 2025

    @attila For Real: This feels more like and "art project" than it does a hip-hop beat. The harmonics and the atmosphere are really cool. I like the build and the way the song grows. There's an almost 'biological' feel in the way it breathes and pumps. I do think some half time drums, or maybe...

    FLIP IT! Paul Williams - Wistful Dreams

    @2GooD Productions I love that you kept the jazzy/soul vibe of the source material. Where I went dark and gloomy, you kept it kinda bright and bouncy. The guitar line was a great addition. Sounds like you also layered sample chops - which takes a good ear and craftsmanship - so kudos on that...

    Ohio Players - "Our Love Has Died"

    @Mike Free Music I really like the drums on this. The pattern, and the tone are great. I think they'd be better served tucked in a bit more in the mix. The reason why I think so, is the sample chops are soo smooth and silky. I really like how you worked the sample. Also, that squelchy g-funk...

    Still regarding sampling

    Don’t worry, it’ll be a cheap flight to Toronto

    What’s good

    Nice! I’ve been using it alongside Maschine for about 6 years now. I only recently really started focusing on improving my mixes so I’ve been exploring a lot of the stock FX. I just got a new Mac Air and can’t remember all the advanced settings I had selected in my old Mac Book lol.

    What’s good

    Nice! Looking forward to seeing you jump in. I may also pick your brain for some Logic tips too!

    FLIP IT! Paul Williams - Wistful Dreams

    Super cool sample! Couldn't quite figure out a way to tie the two different themes together, or I would've save this for a battle.

    @PhxAzTracmaster Skank: Growing up on Dub/Reggae...I really like this. Extra props for playing on the instruments. You nailed the bass tone for this style of music. I especially like the jazzy little embellishments with the guitar. My only critique would be that it doesn't kick into a second...

    @2GooD Productions Annalisa: I think this is a great example of your sound comes across a bit more stripped back and reserved. The drums still have weight and the mix has your usual brightness to it, but the whole piece feels just a bit more restrained. Musically, it's a very 'complete' beat...

    Tomblr Beats: Strolling Through The Park (Official Video)

    video quality is super clean! Drone shots will always be cool to me. The scenery is also beautiful. Jealous you grew up in such a scenic area. I need to find my way back to Belgium at some time for some fries and joppi lol. I also really like the beat! It's a sweet, serene tune with this dark...

    @PhxAzTracmaster Digging the acoustic guitars. makes me want to dust mine off. Kinda reminds of a Toronto guy that makes hip-hop crossover stuff. His name is KO. He's this cool blend of singer-songwriter/hip-hop.

    Beat This! Competition - June 25-26, 2025

    That’s just @Armani being Armani. No hating on sampling, just his personal preference.

    Beat This! Competition - June 25-26, 2025

    Some quality this week! It's cool to see how differently people interpreted the theme of summer. I said in the chat, there are some beats that are really good but didn't quite hit theme (IMHO). For the record, I went full in on the beach/tropical idea. Also interesting seeing how many people...

    SHOWCASE: June 22-29, 2025

    @hosie - really cool flip. You can tell we have VERY different styles as we didn't even venture into the same parts of the source material. We gotta run another one of these soon!
