in Beat competition

Happy Friday Music Producers!  Excited to announce the winner of last week’ Flash Beat Contest!  Over 40 entries this round, and folks brought it!  Some amazingly sick beats to listen to this time, great work all around!  And before we announce, extra big thanks to our special guest judge and creator of the Los Angele Battle Kits Loop Sets, Sentury Status!  Now let’s get to the winner.

The rules:

This beat competition was free to enter.  P5Audio provided a zip file with free loops and sounds from the Los Angeles Battle Kits Construction Kits.  Music  producers had to create a head noddin’ beat in any style using only the loops and sounds provided.  Producers were allowed to manipulate the sounds in any way they wanted.

AND NOW TIME TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNING PRODUCER!!!!…..

Winning Producer: E Dot

Track: “Flare Up”
Why we chose it:
- Innovative use of the sounds!
- Great arrangement.  Stays interesting throughout the entire track.
- Great drum programming.
- Excellent mix
- Ready for an artist to drop vocals over!

Listen to the winning track here:


The prizes:

  • $100 in FREE P5Audio sounds
  • A blog post about their life / work /music etc…

 

And now for something NEW!

For this week, instead of listing runners up, P5Audio will be hosting a chat on Twitter to critique, discuss, and talk shop about everyone’s entries.  Anyone who wants feedback on their production, this is the place for it.  We’ll also post the lists for each judges top 5 favorite entries, so you will get a chance to find out if yours was a runner up or not!  We have the chat scheduled for this Tuesday, June 12th from  10:30 to 11:30 PM EST.  The hashtag will be #p5audiochat. If you are not familiar with how to do a twitter chat please check out this blog post on How to participate in P5audio’s Music Production Chat.  We look forward to chatting with everyone about their beats!

Thank you everyone for entering this contest!  It was a fun one, and we were happy to have Sentury Status as a guest judge!  We are always honored that each and every one of you take the time to enter and show the world what you can do with these sounds!   We also want to thank everyone that is leaving positive helpful feedback in the comments on Soundcloud. You all rock!!! Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the all the latest contest news!  Check back for the next one!  It will be soon.
