ABOUT BIG TUNE
# BIG TUNE is an event/program that was created to showcase the musical talents of emerging as well as established producers...The Producers battle head to head through rounds of single elimination competition.
# The last Producer standing will be the Producer with the... "Big Tune"... and crowned champion of the event/evening...
# The event is inspired by the spirit of the Jamaican Reggae/Dancehall Culture where the term "Big Tune" is derived.. In traditional Jamaican Dancehall Culture a battle is referred to as a "Clash".
# Selectors (dj's) would "Clash" with other Selectors by spinning the latest/heaviest "Riddims"(songs). DJ's (emcee's) would record their own artistic interpretation or "Version" of a standard "Riddim that Selectors would play in the Dancehall.
# Whichever " Version" that was most favored by the people is considered the: "Big Tune"
# During "BIG TUNE" event, Producers are paired and then battle head to head.
The format is pretty simple:
a) Two producers share the stage each at their own station/table where they have 2 cdj's and a mixer that they will use to play there Tunes.
b) Producer (1) will play an original self-produced tune approx for 60 seconds...
c) Producer (2) will do the same.
d) Each Producer will play their 2nd original self-produced tune. This brings the end of the round.
e) At this point the host will inform the crowd that they have a collective decision to make...The Producer who elicits the largest response from the people/crowd will advance to the next round and be paired with the other advancing producers to compete for the BIG TUNE TITLE
Regional Events and Big Tune Final:
12 producers will be selected for each of the 5 regional events.
You can apply to be one of the 12 participants - by submitting your info along with 3 beats.
Our team will evaluate all entrees and will get back to the 12 that they would like to participate in each of the 5 cities hosting a Big Tune in 2007.
The top two producers from each event will be flown to Los Angeles, CA for the Big Tune Final in October 2007.
