BB78 - Werewolf Riffs (2024-06)
--------------------------------------------------------
Entry to Beat Battle BB78 "Track Hybridiser" by NiCKed.
Spin the wheels (Genre1/Animal/Genre2) and try and make something of the blend you have stumbled on. Feel free to spin as many times as you like until you land on a combination that (a) You feel you have a chance of completing and (b) gets you excited about exploring new frontiers. If you feel there is nothing there that inspires you, you are free to do your own. The rules are TWO competing genres blended together with an animal of your choice. You MUST have an animal – this is there to guide you with the character and personality of your track.
The only other rule? You can’t say which genres and animal you have picked – we have to guess. Bonus points for correct answers.

BB79 - Look Again (ft. Hemanifezt and Nu Funk Lab) (2024-07)
--------------------------------------------------------
Entry to Beat Battle BB79 "Glitch it up!" by Nu Funk Lab.
The challenge for this round is to create a glitchy / stuttery masterpiece from the pretty standard samples provided in the pack.
The rules:
1) Pick at least 3 samples from the pack (chord progressions 12 to 15 don't count as samples)
2) Chop them into little pieces, rearrange them, process them and destroy them to your liking, and build a glitchy / stuttery groove with the resulting pieces.
3) Pick a chord progression from the pack (numbers 12 to 15), and use it to build your harmony or part of it. I played all chord progressions on the piano, but I've also included the MIDI files so you can use them with your own instruments, and transpose them to your key of choice.
4) You can also use any other instruments or samples of your own, as long as you comply with 1) to 3)
Remember: The end result HAS TO BE AS GLITCHY AS POSSIBLE (but still musical).

BB80 - Alien Insects (ft. Jörg Zimmermann) (2024-07)
--------------------------------------------------------
Entry to Beat Battle BB80 "Zombies in Space" by Jörg Zimmermann (n.a.g.c.p.).
In an unexpected turn of events, a desperate attempt at finding extraterrestrial life has spiraled into a human catastrophe. An unknown virus from outer space has transformed the crew of the 'Pilgrim' into ravenous zombies. Now adrift in the vast expanse of space, the zombified crew aimlessly roam their spacecraft, driven by an otherworldly urge to feed on alien brains. 

Rules are simple: use at least 3 samples from the pack and create a song in whatever genre you deem fitting.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
From the depths of space, they came in the night,
Wings of metal, glowing bright,
Creeping shadows, a terrifying sight,
Insect armies ready to fight.

(Chorus)
Alien insects, taking over our skies,
Buzzing terror, hear the world's cries,
Alien insects, under neon lights,
Earth's last stand, in this cosmic fight.

(Verse 2)
Cities crumble under chitin claws,
Hives of terror, breaking all our laws,
Humans scatter, fighting for the cause,
Against these beings, with no pause.

(Chorus)
Alien insects, taking over our skies,
Buzzing terror, hear the world's cries,
Alien insects, under neon lights,
Earth's last stand, in this cosmic fight.

(Bridge)
We unite, humans strong and true,
For our planet, there's so much to do,
Against the swarm, we'll see this through,
For Earth, for us, for the sky so blue.

(Chorus)
Alien insects, taking over our skies,
Buzzing terror, hear the world's cries,
Alien insects, under neon lights,
Earth's last stand, in this cosmic fight.

(Outro)
In the end, we will reclaim our home,
No more fear, no more to roam,
Under stars, our courage shown,
Earth's victory, our hearts of stone.

BB82 - Seeds of Tyranny (ft. Sick-E) (2024-08)
--------------------------------------------------------
Entry to Beat Battle BB82 "If you can't beat them" by Sick-E.

Sick-E challenged us about the weird new world of AI-supported or generated music now, and whether we find this amazing, terrifying or laughable, we all know that another big shift is coming, comparable to the invention of the synthesizer. 
He went to AI websites (Udio), generated a bunch of weird "songs" and then take them out a while later and took for sample material. 
So the challenge was to create something from it, whatever we felt making out of those samples. 
---
As I had previously created a track for the AI experience, I've mixed it with Sick-E samples. In conclusion all samples of this track were made with UDIO except some drums and bass AI generated with Logic Pro.

For this track I've used one of my tracks "Dubai Green Wealth" (as AI would do to create new material) and added several samples from Sick-E, most of them vocals

BB83 - Debussy Rêverie 83 (ft. Talotres) (2024-08)
--------------------------------------------------------
Entry to Beat Battle BB83 "Angel Number 83" by Talotres.
----
Talotres looked towards numerology for inspiration and came across some interesting "facts" about the number 83. 
His eldest Talo-ette read out passages of this, and so he dutifully recorded the audio for us to work with as we see fit and to create the music for.
The Rules consisted of:
Produce a track over 2 minutes in any genre, at any tempo. Use as much or as little of the audio as you wish but please try and make this the dominant vocal.
Try to give the song a life affirming, positive message.
To help you start, this was recorded at a cadence of 95BPM.  She repeated several passages later on, so you will need to pick and choose what you want to use.
Let see what you make of this!

BB84 - Time Machine (ft. IanC) (2024-09)
--------------------------------------------------------
Entry to Beat Battle BB84 - Time Machine by IanC.
The technology available to us to create music and replay sounds is extraordinary.  It not only enables us to arrange and manipulate harmony, timbre, melody, structure and spatial perception, it allows us to control time in ways that would have been impossible not so long ago.  We can stretch it, bend it, reverse it, repeat it, slice it, slow it to a standstill; we can alter sounds and make music to invoke the past and future; we can assemble tiny snatches of existing sounds to create something completely new.

To celebrate this, we were invited to create a piece that makes the most of the time machine we have in front of us.
