Beat Battle League | S2:R3

New round of the #beatbattle starts today with a theme change-up.

We had twenty-six (26) Steemit music producers take part in Round Two of Season Two of the #beatbattle . Such an awesome diversity of incredible entries from all over the world. Looking forward to hearing what the community can create with this new theme in Round #3.

The Beat Battle League is a Beat Battle challenge every 10 days that the music producers of Steemit can produce an entry based off a theme or sampled material for that round.

Round #3 of the Beat Battle League starts today and will accept submissions until February 22nd night with winners being announced Friday night (February 23rd).

The judging panel of: @chiefmappster, @danyelk, @beatseb, and @derekmiller are looking forward to your creations this Round #3 of Season Two of the #beatbattle.

Thank you again for all the time, effort, and resources you put into creating your art.

Without further adieu the theme of Round #3 of Season Two is:

The Drop

That moment in the beat when the whole mood changes and you can feel the energy reaching a climax.

The drop. The change-up. The switch-up. Whatever you call it.

That major shift in the track that drives that emotion and gets the energy level going.

The Drop is well-known in the EDM and techno music but can apply to any genre so looking forward to hearing how the incredible Steemit producers can do with this theme.

Who will create the beats with the best drop?

Remember the entries for the Beat Battle League are judged on:

• Sound Quality: does the beat sound crispy, in speakers and headphones, is there cracking or recording errors? How loud can we play it before you notice quality issues? etc

• Technicality: what are the skills you displayed in making this beat? The technical aspects of the your craft. The layers and sounds do they match? How many? etc

• Creativity: how unique your entry is. How well it revolves around the universal theme? Holy smokes we have never heard that sound before? A creative video and/or artwork o yeahhhhh.

Also, sharing the story about the creation of your art in your Steemit post helps the judging panel and community gain perspective and knowledge on yourself and the message you are sharing.
