Hey thanks for votes guys. I really appreciate it.

Sooo.... Im usually a Ba-Humbug type of dude. Wont get into my beliefs or anything like that. But i haven't celebrated xmas in many years. i have a five year old thats never had an christmas. But, I have had a cpl enlightening experiences this year that have lead me back to Him. Point... I'm digging the sounds of the holiday this year. Been showing the boys the old xmas animation movies. And playing some ol Bing Crosby on pandora.

And because my vinyl is all in storage. I don't have any material to sample for us.

Im sure a couple of you know of Moka Only. Makes all his own beats. Has more albums then any artist i know of.

He does an annual holiday album called Martian Xmass (year). here is one of my favorites.


As you see the final track doesn't have to do anything with xmas...
So, Because i don't have any records. We are going to go about this battle a little different.

Rules:
Must use an xmas record or as many pieces of as many xmas tracks yu want.
{Please share with us what xmas tracks you used.}
vst's - any you want
drums - any
vocals-any

The due date: Dec 31

Make any genre you want. make a comedy track, whatever. just make our heads nodd.
{Ill be using some of he many Soul chrismas records for my material. just sampled from audio jack on laptop}

I hope all of you and your families are safe, healthy, happy, and warm this season.
Much love to all of you guys. :worthy:

Aww hell yeah. I look forward to the Martian Xmas every year. I have a spotify playlist of all the Martian Xmas albums. I set it to shuffle and that's all I bump for the last two weeks in December.

Great idea for a battle. Now not only are flip skills judged, but sample selection as well.

My partner said she wanted to do a xmas song so I made a beat on the MPC1k and she got on it. I sampled the Mormon Tabernacle choir for short section and some jingle bells from an intro but the majority of the sounds I used are from things I've recorded personally. Happy new year brilliant humans.

Here is my entry. Not very good but I am getting back into learning the MPC Ren. These battles are a great way to do that.



I used the following samples:

Alice Coltrane-Turiya And Ramakrishna
Christmas Medley Fingerstyle Guitar
Dion-Please Come Home For Christmas
Frankie Lymon-It's Christmas Once Again
Gene Autry-Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Blessings!!

What's good people! It's been a hot minute!

Want to get back involved...never really had much time for this one, literally caught it last minute and threw something basic together before I go to work! (yeah, I'll be working tonight!)

I sampled God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen...

Anyway, hope you enjoy! Bless up for the new year!
