Okay the Maketunes for $TIMES$ contest is officially over.
Me and Dattoli have our decisions made on the top 5
instrumentals of the competition. From 5th to 1st, here are
the results.....

5. Capricorn One - 8 - bit Massacre
4. Crush Beats - Hustler
3. Djwillief- Dark March
2. A-Z productions - Rnb club

Good work on the beats. In our eyes everyone stepped their shit up
quite a bit for the competition.And for everybody that participated here is a
small zip file with about 30 or 40 oneshots in it... Theres some random
stuff in there but if you look theres some good drums on it
too.

http://www.freefileshost.com/d/8466

And the winner is..

Maoribeats for Str8 Banga

congradulations man... you definitly did some nice work on that track maori...
A-Z almost beat you.. but in the end you still came out on top...
I will need your email to send the link to your prize.. If you wanna hear
what we got on the beat send it to me or put it up for download maori..
We got some nice shit waiting for it..

Like I said nice work everybody. We're interested in working with
everybody that made the top 5 in the future. I meant to post this last night sorry for anybody that was waiting.

Great job all you guys! You rule! I will check out the other beats I haven't commented on when I get my days off. I wanna have a chance to hear it all. BY the way, since this contest helped create my trance vs hiphop track, I figured I would post my vocalized version of the 1st version here, prior to posting on the feedback forum. My voice is vocoded through the whole thing. Here is the link.

Special thanks to Teddy and KD for the one shots. Thanx!

Doctor Ryzl's picture

had one in the works, but life got a hold of my ass and made me indisposed for the weekend. (Tires for car and other BS) But I'll take 5th. Works for me. Hey tried to check the winning submission from maori, and get a 404 error. Ya'll move it somewhere else?

I'm thinking 'bout holding my own comp, but I need to find something for a prize or two... Let me do some diggin' and thinkin' Ideas are ALWAYS welcome. So let me know whatch ya'll think about a remix comp. I'm thinkin' a comp of hip-hop remixes of a non hip-hop songs. Like what Kanye did with Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, or Apathy's remix of ZZ Tops Cheap Sunglasses (Ain't heard it, it's on Baptism By Fire along with a bunch of other great remixes and originals) With all of the different types of producers/musicians on here, everyone could compete.

It'll do what it do till it done

A-Z, it was a hard decision between you and maoribeats. Your shit is on fire man. I wouldnt be suprised if you win the next competition.

cool cap. I was thinking about starting another instrumental competition.. but making it a monthly thing from now on.. personally
I thought your 8 bit massacre song should've been number 4.

A-Z Style Beats's picture

well i will definitly try to win in the next competition,and we all made some crazy beats,it was fun

TURK's picture

Congrats to Maoribeats! Well done to everyone involved!

Coolboy in the mix.

Doctor Ryzl's picture

Well then. I'll call it 4th and a half! Yeah a monthly hip-hop comp would be what's up.
I know I got some bad ass construction and loop packs as well as samples, I just hafta check the legality on giving them to another individual. If I can't do a "hand off" of said packs, I'll just hafta make some loops to use as a prize. (I can be a bit lazy at times... Must be all those herbal refreshments I imbibe in) Once I figure all that out, I'll work on starting up a comp.

It'll do what it do till it done

I have been drinking, and so what you are reading is from the heart without the defense. I don't know why I try to compete in the genre I am not naturally inclined to do. I thought I did a great job but the beat work is always a little beyond me. I don't concentrate on that part ...EVER. I always work on melody and that is what I know. It always surprises me that I never have won a contest. I do enjoy going after anything though even if it isn't my strong suit. To compete... is just fun. You know? I am drunk right now so if any of you motherfuckers make fun of me I will eat you up for breakfast. I am a strong headed motherfucker too, and will only go so far toward something before getting distracted to something else. I have literally hundreds of projects started with kick ass melodies(as that is what naturally flows from me) that have yet to be brought to the world to hear, and probably wont be. Fuck it! What do I care. There is more(much more) where that came from. Damn! I will eat you motherfuckers for lunch if you rag me about this comment. I am drunk and just wanted to state what was on my mind! When I am sober I have the reserve! Enjoy this comment while you can!

lol i love that whole comment sole your the man bro!!!!fucking funny shit man lmao

The Sole's picture

Yeah I was really drunk. Workin' toward that goal right now as a matter of fact. I started a rock-n-roll piece. I just go after all genres. Except country. I would do country except my dog hasn't died yet, and my woman hasn't left me... so I can't go THAT extreme! LOL! ;0)
