Happy music making! You'll have until this exact time next week to submit your beats! Since it's the first one odds are your music will get placed on the final compilation tape! Really excited to hear what everyone comes up with!
Calling all producers, beatmakers, experimental musicians and music-makers of any kind!
I cordially invite you to participate in Tumblr’s very own weekly beat cypher, in the spirit of the weekly Kenny Beats/D.o.t.s. Beat Battle, Andrew Huang's 4 Producers 1 Sample series, and the unfortunately now-defunct Team Supreme Beat Cypher. First sample will be posted at 12 AM EST on Saturday, Feb. 19th!
Reblog, tell yer friends, get the word out!
For more information and guidelines, read on!
Format
User-submitted beat cypher sample is announced
Participants will have one week to make a beat incorporating the sample
The beats will be compiled into a tape and released on Bandcamp as soon as possible (everyone featured will be credited!)
It starts all over again the next week!
Guidelines
All genres are welcome! Honestly, you can submit something no one has ever even conceived of before. The tape will be all the better for it!
Beats should use the sample provided! (the sample will be available via a Dropbox link in the cypher announcement post; beats should incorporate it in a recognizable manner. Of course, please feel free to use the sample in any way that you want-- I just have to be able to hear that the sample is in the beat!)
No pre-made beats, please! (of course there's no way of verifying this, so we'll have to go by the honor system)
All beat submissions can be made through the Dropbox link in the weekly cypher announcement post. Please be sure to title the file in this format: BC [Cypher number] Entry [Artist name] [Beat name]. Also feel free to throw in your socials in the "submissions" section of the website if you want me to advertise them!
Each person gets only one entry a week! Again, honor system.
No material you don't have the rights to! I'm not rich enough to handle a copyright infringement lawsuit!
Other Info
For now, I'll do my best to organize this weekly, but that may be subject to change depending on holidays, extenuating circumstances, popular demand, etc
I may need extra help deciding which beats to put on the tape! There won't be any fixed rankings, but depending on how many entries I get, I might not have room for all of them. If you want to help, just PM me!
Should the tape be a free download, or have a pay-what-you-want option? I'll only implement this once I figure out a way to pay everyone equally (I'll look into the mechanics of compilations on Bandcamp and see if it's possible). I only want to build community by doing this, provide a platform for artists, and hear some fresh and amazing sounds, so I would feel horrible taking any money that I didn't earn; I want to find a way for a trusted third-party service to split the earnings so that it's out of my hands and all fair and square (it would be unfair to expect you to trust me, I'm just a random person on the internet, I wouldn't trust myself either!)

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted a beat for last week's cypher!
I'll have the compilation up on Bandcamp as soon as possible.
Let's support each other, and create a unified space for new music to be heard-- it'll bring all of us up (a high tide raises all ships-- in this case, you're the ships and the space is the tide)!
I'm trying to get this going with a weekly beat cypher/compilation!
First compilation starts 12 AM Saturday, Feb 19th (more info in the pinned post on this account!)
ALL GENRES WELCOME
