Welcome To The Game of Def Beat Battle!

Here Are The Official Beat Battle Details

There Can Be Only One Winner

Welcome to the official battle details. We want to hear the absolute most far out and creative production the world has to offer. All styles of production are welcome. 

The rules are simple. Each producer gets one minute to play a beat. You can have the DJ to play it, you can play it off your phone, you can play it off your drum machine, we don't care it just better be hot and bumpin'. If you want to see what a beat battle looks like our last one is on the bottom of this page.

How many beats will you need? We plan to have anywhere from 16-32 producers. I will cap it if registration becomes heavy. You can plan on 4 to 5 rounds of battles. If the judges want to hear one more beat then you should have a couple of them in reserve. The final round will be 2 out of 3. If I was battling I would have 5 rounds, 2 tie breakers and 2  beats for the finals. That gives me a total of 9 beats.

You can register to enter the battle here on eventbrite. Cover for the battle is $10 at the door. The fee to compete is $25. To battle you must pre-register. We will not collect your money until the day of the battle at the battle, please have cash. The registration is just a head count for producers.

You will be judged on creativity, sonic quality, crowd response, and your personal presentation of the production. There can only be one winner but believe me there aren't any losers. Please respect the judges decisions.

Meet The Judges

One thing all the judges have in common is that they are all entrepreneurs who live in the business of entertainment. It's important to me that we have judges who see beyond the drum machine and can preside from an industry perspective.
