Here comes a new round to help Steemians showcase their talent, hard work, and passions to the community from all over the globe.
We had ten (10) Steemit music producers take part in Round Eleven of Season Two of the #beatbattle . Such an incredible group of souls creating content each round and helping each other with feedback. Looking forward to hearing what the Steemit Universe can come up with this round's theme.
For the results of Round 11 go here: https://steemit.com/beatbattle/@chiefmappster/beat-battle-league-s2-r11-results
The Beat Battle League is a Beat Battle challenge every 10 days that the music producers of the world can produce an entry based off a theme or sampled material for that round.
Round #12 of the Beat Battle League starts today and will accept submissions until June 20th at 11:59PM EST/ 4:59 AM UTC with winners being announced Thursday evening (June 21st).
The judging panel of: @chiefmappster, @beat5e8 [@beatseb], @inthenow, and @derekmiller are looking forward to your creations this Round #12 of Season Two of the #beatbattle.
Thank you again for all the time, effort, and resources you put into creating your art.
Without further adieu the theme of Round #12 of Season Two is:
Ray of Sunshine
Building off of the positive and uplifting round comes this round's theme of Ray of Sunshine.
You can take this many ways; it can be another positive and uplifting beat. That ray of sunshine into the lives of the listener. Or you can take it along side the lines of a summer-esque theme.
We all know how powerful music is. A certain sound, beat, and/or song can bring such joy and happiness to the listener and be that ray of sunshine.
Different sounds create different emotion for different people so interested to see what sounds, instruments, and arrangements are used in creating beats that are rays of sunshine.
However this Ray of Sunshine theme means to you let's hear it o weeeeeeee.
Looking forward to hearing the creations from the incredible producers in the Steemit Universe.

I know cutting it close ... had to clean my bathroom for a visiting #beatbattle judge ... really ate into my time ;-) Conflict of interest? Conflicted about using that nasty toilet before I cleaned it, for sure! :-D

As a recap, it was a really fun hang ... Erika did mention I neglected to restock the bathroom tissue in said bathroom, a faux pas from which I quickly recovered. But otherwise we all did have a delightful time that evening ... "Surreal" for both Seb and I we both readily admitted after years of 'online knowing' then crossing the boundary into the 'real life' thing ...
