I love this theme, the trailer for True Romance was pretty amazing. It's a bunch of stills from the film sequenced to this theme by Hans Zimmer.

Beat Battles

Phillip Drummond (myspace.com/phillipdrummond) from San Francisco puts on beat battles every month, a bunch of really amazing bay area producers come out for it. I entered a couple times last year, and I've posted my favorite beats I made the for the battles.




Rocky Horror Beat Battle

my 2nd round beat:


my 1stround beat:


then I got my ass handed to me in third round. I broke my CD and tried to make a scene, but when I stormed off stage my foot got caught in the MC's microphone cord and we got all tangled up for like 30 seconds. ahhhh, comedy.

80s beat battle

final round beat, I did not make the finals though
everyone had to remix old Eric B track


download my Eric B remix

this was my 3rd round beat


I first heard about these beat battles through my friend Brian, I was like 'cool I want to enter', he was like, dude you should go to a couple first. So, we went to a few, and anything remotely dancy got clowned super hard by the crowd. I was like F that shit, I'm no masochist. Phillip Drummond the promoter started encouraging me to enter, I always made up excuses and shit. But then finally they put on an 80s beat battle, where they give you these selected 80s tracks, and you can only sample from those and a few shitty drum sounds they give you.

I really couldn't back down from an 80s beat battle. Totally made a fool of myself, but the second time I entered I learned a few things, came back pretty strong. It was Rocky Horror beat battle night, right around Halloween. I broke a record in half and wore it as a costume, as if someone threw it at me and it cut into my body. I couldn't find anything good for fake blood except for hot sauce, which, if you need fake blood, don't use hot sauce.
