Beat Challenge #45
Producer: Shrubbers 
BPM: 105
DAW: Ableton

I did a thing! So I started off initially with the multiple forms of echo 2 to be the primary lead which was onyl eq8'd and reverbed with in sample pitch shifting - the second layer of echo 2's acts a nice bedding of weird background bleep bloops, and last layer as a mild backup to help support it when needed. this just had some simple reverb and multiband for sidechain as well. The main beat was just the drum grooveswith more sidechain for the bass later on and a simple eq to filter out the main residual noise. Then I tied this with a few bass hits, snares, brushes and the stick clicks to get the rhythm whilst also added the sub texture and groove. Once all that was eq'd right and given the special effects it added to the feel but still needed something special - so thought of GTA haha and got a flexatone put in with some changes added in and that just gave it the little something (I think). But either way super fun to create and hopefully adds a little electro feel to it as well. But regardless enjoy! ^^

Verse 
They say the devils in the details
I say the devils in a sundress, holding two melons and a Sunkist
Skip the Prada, I’m not really into fashion walks
I think I like way her better in an undress
Tell you first I’m not tryna to be sacrilegious 
But, please don’t ask me where I got all those moving pictures
A nightly thing, keep the day out my night adventures
Not a strange addiction, you can call it bad investment 
Still, she plays close like margarine to toast,
But I wouldn't toast much, she keeps me tied on a rope
On a spit, on a roast-ing, over on a cauldron
She the kind of witch Hansel and Gretel had a fall with
It’s illusion what she’s selling, and I'm done buying
Keep me losing long runs, so I’m done vying
For that love in that form is a dumb buy-in
A sirens call, you know but I still fight it

Writing Challenge #77
Topic: Up All Night
Artist: SigmaRaps
Beat: (FREE) 90s Boom Bap Saxophone x Chill Jazz Type Beat - "Dealing with the Devil"

Up all night, under moonlight's glow,
No sleep in sight, just letting thoughts flow,
In the quiet hours when the world's in repose,
I'm wide awake, where the night wind blows,

Stars above, they twinkle, they glisten,
In this darkness, there's a mission I'm missin',
Every second's precious, there's no time for wishin',
Up all night, I'm on a night owl's expedition,

The city's asleep, wrapped in a dream,
But I'm alive, in the silence, I gleam,
With a pen and paper, I start to scheme,
Creating rhymes and verses, it's a lyrical stream,

The night's my canvas, and I'm the artist,
Painting with words, 'cause the night's the hardest,
To catch those thoughts before they depart us,
In this sleepless world, where the darkness imparts us.

Topic: Attitude for Gratitude 
Beat: I finally made my own beat for one of these 😄 - 140 BPM Awake Gm 
Artist: BoarderLess
DAW: Studio One 

There’s been a lot of the pain 
But I’m lookin to be grateful 
People be praying for rain 
And I’m sittin’ here with my plate full 

I’ll always be faithful that I can improve 
And even on days that I lose 
I try to remember the stories I heard on the news
And this is the life that I’d choose 

Cause some people starving 
And others they live on the street
I gotta be grateful cause I know 
I always had plenty to eat 

I know that we wired to think of better
But I just been tired of thinking better 
 I always forget all of the shit I have 
And see shit that I want cause I think it’s better

Topic: Pirates of the Open Sea
Beat: 
Artist: BoarderLess

Yea we lookin’ for the treasure 
Pressin’ mf til they blow up from the pressure 
Cause our flows are always fresher 
Raising up the bars they gotta keep up with the measure
 
Find the chest but then we go for more 
Snitches on this ship ain’t getting stitches they go overboard
I’m on the beach so I could know for sure 
Pirates on the open sea the peace is what we going for 

Tryna find the missing piece to the puzzle 
But that shit’s buried and homie forgot the shovel 
If crews lookin for trouble then we ain’t keeping it subtle 
Like paparazzi with canons we shooting em out the bubble 
 
But I’m a pacifist I ain’t looking to ground pound
Ima find the treasure check my website for a countdown 
When you think about, listen to me in surround sound 
We all share the same X like hoes that went around town 

Most pirates acting thick in the skull
Check your X to find the next place I’m digging for gold 
Lookin for a full plate? Better stick to the bowls 
There’s only One Piece left that’s for my ignorant soul 

Cause I’m the captain of this ship 
No distractions on this shit 
Don’t wanna know what happens when 
I catch you lacking on this ship 
If you part of the crew you’re considered family 
Need to have a strong bond when going through insanity 

Cause we lookin’ for the treasure 
Pressin’ mf til they blow up from the pressure 
Cause our flows are always fresher 
Raising up the bars they gotta keep up with the measure
 
Find the chest but then we go for more 
Snitches on this ship ain’t getting stitches they go overboard
I’m on the beach so I could know for sure 
Pirates on the open sea the peace is what we going for

Beat Challenge #50

DAW etc = Ableton + VSTs for days (fabfilter, omnisphere, kontakt etc...)

Producer: parallaxed

Delightfully simple beat, eroded kalimbas, nicely toned guitar from Kontakt, gospel+choir courtesy of the workhorse Omnispehere, hours spent whittling out lush pads in u-he Hive

Used the vocal and synth sample from the pack, the synth is heavily disguised as subtle ambience, but I promise you it's there propping everything up nice, yeah? 😉

Would be very happy for anyone to pipe out some bars over this - I can be very flexible on the structure and mix to accomodate the writing. DM me and lets collab!

The scratching sounds and vocal chops are not frozen, so this mixdown is dynamic and will scratch/chop differently every time... I'm happy to resample these for consistency but at the moment I love that it's kicking out a unique mix (fabfilter Timeless 3 and beat repeat magic...)

FabFilter Saturn 2 for character, sweet ducking with Pro-G.
Cableguys Kickstart because sidechaining doesn't need to be hard.
Pro MB + Pro L-2 to tame the mix.

Beat Challenge #49

DAW etc = Ableton + VSTs for days (fabfilter i find indispensable... try them if you haven't already, yeah?)

Producer: parallaxed

So this turned out to be an oddity, but after it began tumbling in some direction I did best I could to carve out a melodic journey that unsettles the yuletide spirit at first, then resolves into those familiar festive vibes...

As the beat develops, one of the 15 bar melodies is used wholesale and chopped up to introduce some new melodic context... then we slap you with some familiar festive hooks blending in to transform the flow.

Sleigh bells samples used, obviously. Bass drum also. Trumpets from Hark the Herald angels as provided in the pack. Fudged the tubular bells in ableton sampler for the intro lead line. 

Used tubular bells from the ableton stock for the switch up melody... woodwinds also in there. Followed top tips from Mr. Bill to optimize the sub, shout out to Slynk also for his handy HaaS width tool, imo it gives presence and character to mid sub harmonics...
