Beat This! Competition - November 27-28, 2024

[Iron Keys]

I based my voting on who best captured the feeling of 'Emergency' as described in the theme.

My vote went to @Bandia Gotach --- gave me that sense of tension and urgency. I think the 'feeling' felt akin to mine. Particularly that first half melody/arp. Great work

@BizangoNigma - this was my other option, the other beat I think closely matched the theme. Really great production and mix, this is dope work. So good I thought it may have been a Crog entry! (a very good battler here)

My favorite beat here was @TWU --- just didn't match the theme for me. The mix is both great and not; it reminds me of those NY mixtapes early 2000s, but in that sense, i fucking love the mix/texture. Would play this beat back2back; get a vocal on that!!!

@hosie - I was fascinated with your kick drum; feels over the top, but in a way that really works --- love it. Proper vibey beat too, dope af. Only reason missing my consideration today, is for me 'Emergency' screams 'urgency' so needed that feel. But generally, great work.

To everyone else, great work ---some good stuff in there, my reasons for overlooking would be down to the emotion not matching my idea of what the theme was. That could be down to either production choices or mix choices you made. If anyone wants any specific/personalised feedback just gimme a shout

Love

Good job @Iron Keys ! That was dope !

Haven't had much time recently to make beats or listen to these ones but they all sounded great !

No fail at all! Dope beat. Other than mine I thought it was top 2 beats. And you placed in the top 5.

Keep bringing the heat - am certain you'll be seeing Ws

No review for me

No review for me

Liked the weird electriccy sound. The 808 work was great --- the orchestra lines and organish thing were pretty cool too.

For me, I think, the choir particularly, but maybe on the orchestra too, things were too 'clean'. Think they needed some rough edges to match what i felt 'the feel' of this theme was. I think, tbh, if even the choir was sorted it would have made a massive difference on the rest --- they felt too pristine. MAybe needed some high end roll off or grunge.

There were a few moments in the mix where there was a really cool atmosphere and feel from the chorus hit and verb and stuff. But I think the choirs pulled me away a bit.

I really like that actually there's a lot going on, lends to the chaos feel of such a situation, but I think some elements needed to be managed better in level or freq. They felt maybe too loud, but not blended. Sounds odd, but sometimes you can misbalance things in a way that works, this situation it felt like they were misblaanced or all competing but not in a harmonious way. Musically really great though.


The short version would have been "really cool beat, nice musically, think some of the sounds were too clean choir felt a bit VST-ish." And also assumed it was going to be one of the top beats!!! Was fairly confident of that!

I expected your beat, and the rookie guy Bizango beat to be in the top 3
