The Battle Host must provide a sample set to be used for the battle. These samples are the only sound sources allowed, unless the Additional Rules for the battle state otherwise. The samples can be anything that the Battle Host has the right to distribute for non-commercial use.
The Battle Host must create three Additional Rules. These can allow or require additional sound sources, or impose any kind of new requirements.
THE CONTEST
Anyone can enter the Battle by posting a link to their entry in the Battle thread. Unless the Additional Rules state otherwise, any processing is allowed and the source samples need not be recognizable. The Host may disqualify any entry that does not meet either the general rules or the additional ones.
Once the submission deadline is reached, the winner is elected by posting votes in the same thread. Anyone is welcome to vote whether they participated or not. In case of a draw, the Host designates the winner between the submissions tied for first place.
THE DEADLINES
Each battle takes place over two weeks, starting on a Friday. Submissions close and votes open at 23:59 on the 11th day (tuesday). Voting closes at 23:59 on the 13th day (thursday). The winner then becomes the Host, and has until 23:59 on the 14th day (friday) to post a new thread with a new sample set and new rules.
I'm down. So with these, can we use other things, or only the samples provided? Edit**** never mind haha, sometimes I'm a daft cunt. Reread the rules, got it.

Only the samples provided. Do what you want with them...cut, splice, time stretch, pitch shift, modulate, resample, granulate.Have a read through the previous BB subs you'll get the idea.
Private link for this one. Bashed it out in a few hours this evening.
Took a bit to get drum sounds but with some clever tuning, compression and effects...presto
Reworked it a little.59 secs and works well on autoloop for contimuous listening pleasure).
Took 4 hours noodling overall...no excuses. I look forward to listening to others.
A good BB to have a tight requisite as if working in the industry.
So I saw this thread and decided to check out the other Beat Battle threads to get an understanding of what this is about. It got me interested so I decided to give it a shot!
This is what I came up with (Hope ya'll don't mind external private link. Didn't wanna clutter up my Soundcloud).
Made this in a couple of hours. This was an interesting challenge. The drums were definitely the hardest part, for me at least. Started with trying to get any kind of kick drum. After I designed the weird kick, it reminded me of the game Silent Hill so I opted to go for a weird, fucked up sounding track.
This was fun and I learned quite a lot with this! I'm interested to hear the other submissions. I'll definitely do more in the future

gotta be exactly 1 minute, yours is 59 seconds, I'll allow it though.
@Narukami Nice work my friend. Got some good depth.

Thanks man! I quite like your track as well. I'm impressed that you managed to create drums that sound like something that could be used in an actual song, so nice work!
