Find the brief and more challenges here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheWeeklyBeatChallenge/

Weekly producer challenges to get & keep the creative juices flowing! Open for all producers looking for a fun friendly environment to hone their craft. 

This group is directly influenced by the great work of Team Supreme and their weekly beat ciphers. 
Another inception of a great idea to help us all improve and expand our knowledge and skill set as electronic music producers. 

Each week a new challenge will be set, with given parameters that must be followed. 

---

Before we go any further lets discuss a few housekeeping rules for the group. 

First of all this is not a place to spam your music. Only posts related to the current brief are permitted. This is to try and maintain some order and keep the group focused. 

This is an area for constructive criticism, feedback & a place to discuss techniques as well as share knowledge. If you are not willing to do/give at least one of these then there is no point in joining this group. Our core aim is to help each other improve and form a community in which we can enjoy each others music. 

The weeks submissions will then be collated into a weekly mix tape posted on our soundcloud page for all to discuss and enjoy.

Find the soundcloud page here:

*Note - Soundcloud is removing the groups feature in a few weeks time so iv made a new soundcloud account for all our antics.

Here is Vol 4 of "The Weekly Beat Challenge" Excellent Work!!
00:00 - 01:47 @benfowlermusic
02:03 - 04:25 @sammoth
04:25 - 08:06 @atlantisdies

Here the brief.

Here is a repack and reissue of Brief 4 with some added extras. Due to so many people been away last week I thought we would try again for Vol 4.
Nice sample this week taken from some Sax recordings I did not so long ago... I think there could be some really nice scope with this one for some nice chops and cuts. Nearly 3 minutes of improvised sax with some real nice melodic content in places.
As an additional extra i've done some electromagnetic recordings of all sorts of things. Some really nice stuff buried in there but it is sifter for sure.
With the drastically different sounds this could be a really interesting one. As always same rules apply and hopefully this time next week we will have some great additions to the Weekly Beat Challenge underway.
Also stay tuned for the coming weeks for some wonderful sample action!!
Challenge Tempo: 110bpm

Here is Vol 5 of "The Weekly Beat Challenge" 
00:00 - 02:15 @jsujsu
02:15 - 03:59 @benfowlermusic


Here the brief.

Hi Folk's here is brief number 5. This is deffinitly an intresting mixed bag of samples. We have some rain and thunder, Toy guns and lots of different vibrations on various surfaces using contact mic's and a razor. The Vibration one are proper sifters, but there's some great sounds ripe for dirty bass sounds I reckon!! Have a sift through because the sounds vary throughout the audio file.
This one will be a big challenge, but im sure it will be an intresting one for sure. Also some really cool stuff coming in the next few weeks. But for now here is the brief an pack.
Tempo: 172bpm/86bpm
