This time, we’re mixing creativity with a bit of chaos and holiday spirit. Each participant creates a sample pack in advance for another producer. Every sign-up gets more info how to prepare the samples for another producer in advance. At the start of the battle, everyone grabs a random USB stick from the Syntherklaas present bag and must build a track using those samples. Expect good vibes, surprises, and beats that hit harder than pepernoten.

What can you expect?
A creative and energetic group of producers ready to take on a new challenge; that’s the spirit of Battle of the Beats.
Participants dive into a fun, fast-paced session where they create a track from scratch, experiment with new ideas, and push their creativity under a bit of time pressure.
You’ll meet like-minded producers, share sounds, exchange tips, and see how different workflows come to life. It’s not about competition alone, but about growth, inspiration, and community.
And, of course, true to MPA tradition we’ll wrap it all up with a listening session, a drink in hand, and plenty of room for networking and creative conversations. You can also win some cool prizes. Ready to create a new track from scratch?
