Homework 80 - Bigger Than Hiphop

New homework! thanks for holdin out for the week break;

Homework 80 - Bigger Than Hiphop



RULES
This week is all about branching out; theres no theme to beat except we want you to display your beat skills outside of a traditional "blap" not to say anyone is generic in the least! but more that this week is your carte blanche to step out and hand in literally whatever you like for your homework...be it jazz, soul, drum & bass or ghettotech!

Show us what you can do when we free the walls! this is a non genre specific homework but it would be nice if you cooked something up specially rather than that 2 year old dubstep beat you had laying around!

DEADLINE
Beats are due Sunday 19th December, email to homework@louisden.com

A quick word from Myke about the release
"This one was quite tricky to finish as I didn't have a theme for this so I decided to try and interpret sounds by mood, and the fact that the Leo star sign is in the summer I wanted feel good beats, but not all of them came out that way. Give it a listen after the download, pass it on and send feedback. Peace.

Den badman, league 08 winner and Tartan Bully S-TYPE has recently dropped the Medusa EP on the Phuture Labs label; dont let the title fool you bumping it wont turn your ears to stone but your neck may feel like it after the crazy head nods it'll generate!. The 3 track EP is genre crossing fusing elements of Electronica, Hiphop, Future Beats and more but rather than trying to pigeonhole you'd be better off bumping it (LOUD) and letting your ears form their own opinion
