Get ready to flip the script at the next edition of Battle of the Beats! Sample Surprise Edition challenges producers to bring their own fun and unexpected sounds straight to the stage. This time, it’s not about the samples we give you—it’s about the wild, quirky, and unique audio gems you’ve been keeping in your vault. From field recordings to strange vocal chops, from toy instruments to glitchy textures, your creativity sets the rules. Bring your sample, make a dope beat, take home the prize.
