Yet another insane battle behind us.
No matter what sampling material gets brought to the table,
you guys always manage to make it sound "official". As in
the previous BB installments, there were no disappointments this time.
You have shown that even the most progressy artsy avant-garde rock joint
can be flipped and chopped in 44 different ways - of which the following ten have grabbed
our most attention and made us realize again that all this hard work pays off.
We almost had a fight and guns were fired when it came to picking NUMERO UNO. It turned out that no definite decision could have been made and there were 2 beats that sounded like they should grab the throne.. SO IT IS A TIE
1: Nice Rice and Es-K are both winning this Battle and each walks with a Sixteen Pads SHIRT and the Sound Libraries get divided between the 2 gentlemen ( 2 discs each ).
Let's break it down , shall we?
- Nice_Rice_-_16pads_BB003
heavy, beefy drums complemented with smart, modest chops and trippy acidic fill ups. It is a club banger but the backpackers ain't sittin' either. Dynamic as hell... - Es-K_-_16Pads_BB003
if you ever wanted to jump a bank or something of that nature, just put this on and you are set. This is some rugged, raw and beautifully arranged bomb that makes you wanna get nasty with anything that comes your way. Sick drums, sick mix. Crazy. - ParYen_-_16pads_BB003
this is like straight from Bristol or something. Trippolla all the way. Great mixing, dirty drums and spacey key play. Very strong Second spot. - mattboots_-_16pads_BB003
imagine Madlib on a horse in like Brazil chasing Jay Dee who just happened to jack his sp303..this is what is sounds like. Crazy vibe on this one. Lo fi drums, lo fi mix and everything works. The only problem we had with the beat was its rather simple arrangement. Otherwise...
- 4. Phil_-_16pads_BB003
very Detroit-ish base, interesting mixing concept, great placement of drums in the mix. Very groove oriented. Sounds like an expensive mastering unit played with this. But you never know.:) - 5. Sabama_-_16pads_BB003
snare rolls, smoke and lounge. Very musical...very talented. - 6. Endrjuss_-_16pads_BB003
nicely flavored hi hats, musical chops. Pete Rock would be glad. Ready for spits. - 7. ElFer_-_16pads_BB003
super PRO time shift on the snare , super PRO time shift on the kick. Musically it is a bit simplistic but you do not always need a solo :). Spit friendly as well. - 8. DJ_Priority_-_16pads_BB003
warm, well balanced. Sounds like a cinematic skit. Gets in the head. - 9. Tonthelow_-_16pads_BB003
A bit too obvious to win but very nicely produced- definitely deserves a mention. Great overall balance , however the base kills it.. too dehumanized - 10. enotide_-_16pads_BB003
Insane drum work. So balanced and groovy. Too simplified on the chops though. - Remaining contenders, in alphabetical order
