Here’s the next one! Deadline is September 31, 2010.
Click here to go right to the Beat Meet:
The Beat Meet is a friendly competition between producers. They all must use a sample kit provided by this site. The kit will usually contain a fair amount of drum sounds, a bassline, and 2 sample loops. All contestants are given about a week to filter, combine, sequence, and flip the samples however they wish.
This is so long overdue, that I lost count. The absence of Beat Meets doesn’t mean that they are going to stop anytime soon, with plenty more planned to keep you beat makers busy for the rest of this year!

In case you don’t live in the San Francisco area, here is an update on the recently posted Death Proof Beat Battle won by pOETiq.
This is the footage from the Beats Rhymes and Life Deathproof Beat battle in which producers have to samples songs from the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino’s “Deathproof”/Grindhouse. The first two clips are mostly talking but it’s beats/music from there on out and we play the originals first so you can hear what folks are sampling.
