Heya crew,
I wasn't able to get a collab going in time but decided to contribute something anyhow. I spent a few hours trying to get a handle on this genre I'd never heard of.
Amapiano seems to be influenced by deep house, no? I dig it - wish I'd had more time to work on this, but here it is...
Congrats to Ikaco for the win...
Madlib is one of my all time fav producers- didn't try to imitate but took some inspiration
used parts of all the samples including the drums. Added some obscure cuts from my own collection in keeping with the theme.
Heya, I used The Mahavishnu Orchestra sample and also parts from the Les Hommes Track. No outside sounds except drums.
My wife has been playing a lot of old video games lately.. I think hearing that music in the background probably influenced the composition.
Happpy Birthday to Mox and STBB forever!!
Thanks to Ladz for hosting and choosing the samples
Also thanks to Joa and the rest of the crew for keeping the battles going for the last six years.

I chopped up the first 2 samples for the A section, the other sample was used in the B section.
Drums mostly from the samples.. finished it off with a couple of samples from my French-Canadian vinyl collection to keep it on theme.
Happy 6th Anniversary to STBB Forever!

Heya Everyone, It's been a while - It's nice to be back. Since Joa was kind enough to drop my new Halloween single in the thread I thought I'd better show some love and participate in the battle.
Didn't have much time so it's not a great mix but I took as much from the samples as I could and...
Big ups to JulianConvex for giving detailed technical advice.. Hard agree Soundcloud sounds like a** in general
I have huge respect for everyone who takes the time and effort to compete here - I'm trying my best to be critical in a constructive way so forgive me if anything I say rubs you the...
Hey ya'll
Looking forward to sharing my thoughts on peoples tracks.. here's my offering in the meantime
I tried to use as much as I could from the samples including all the melodic/harmonic stuff + the snare from the Burt Bacharach tune
Feeling like my tracks lately have had too much hi-end/...
Shout outs
TWU :Straight ahead but still bops and thus deserves love
Elevated Kings: It's good - would have liked it more if it had more of a build between sections
Fla: nice track and I appreciated the usage of the movie dialog as intro
Wig: It's a dope flip but it sounds like an old worn...
lots of quality this week.. I'm grading in in favour of grittiness over polish in deference to the rules

Mox- nice straightahead instrumental flip- well done
Kong - A dope beat..woulda rated higher if it was a bit grimier

Per.du -...
Wish I'd had more time to work on this one.. Much love for Curtis and Mr. Hayes so I thought I'd contribute even tho not my best work IMHO
P.S. It be February so let's not forget to give much love and respect to all our black forefathers, within hip-hop and without <3
