My first The Upbeats experience was a 3 hour education at ye old Backstage... Heaving rollers, f**k off break beat carnage and straight sweat dripping from the walls 💦💦💦
It was probably the catalyst for my musical journey thus far so yeah mean!
Kicking things off with some dutty bits from 10pm 💣💣
Out to SBK NZ Drum & Bass for the opportunity 👊
SBK 2020 MIXTAPE COMPETITION
First of all RESPECT to those that took the time to enter, we loved checking out all your entries.
We listened to each set multiple times to make our decision.
Thanks to the generosity of Rockshop NZ the winner will be awarded with a $50 Voucher as a prize.
Here’s what we were looking for -
--- track selection & set progression > mixing
--- originality, versatility and variety
--- a set that stood out from the pack
--- selections that would go down well at the start of the night allowing the music to progress
Here’s what we were not looking for -
--- a peak time set full of bangers
--- a set recorded or branded for another event
Congratulations to NAMU who took out the Competition with his original set of wonked bass steaks and fresssh fried snares.
A stand out selection , welcome to the line up NAMU , we're looking forward to hearing you throw down on Thursday !!!
