Hard at work trying to piece together something Rob! This was more difficult than I anticipated tbh ... :O
Good thing I still have a week!

Great stuff @transpire ! Really funky!

I actually thought I might be first to post, as there was nothing on here when I checked yesterday - ah well! Great job, Transpire.
As Petter has mentioned, I also struggled with this one. My first attempt was a complete disaster. I'm a little happier with this one, although I think despite using several Big Beat techniques (automated filters, phased drums, repeated/stuttered sections) I may have drifted into a more standard kind of EDM (if there is such a thing) - who knows, maybe I've actually created a new subgenre, so just in case I've decided to name it "Big BDM"!
Anyway, here's my track - hope you like it :)

Hi all,

this is my contribution. I think it's more a chill-out big beat, than a full big beat song. Hope you like it anyway. I used old 95 BPM. Took me quiet a while to mix it properly down, because of the many beats and basses I layered together.

The main bass, starting at the beginning I played live because a friend of mine sold me his cheapest bass guitar. It was really fun. I'm more a guitar player, but I discovered that bass can also be very much fun to play.

I also uploaded it on Soundcloud.

Good luck everybody.

Cheers Paddy

Right, time flies and stuff piling up for the weekend too :O So had to try and get this one done ... 

Ideally should've spent some more time on percussion details and especially the acid synths - and mixing - but hey I'm totally flabbing around in the deep end here anyways, so not sure if it'll make too much of a difference :D

Anyways, I've sampled some bits from a couple of my (many) favourite 80's songs and tried to make something in the spirit of early Fatboy Slim ... hope it's not a total abomination. I called it 'Move Yourself' and here we go:

I had a lot of fun with this one and went for the classic era of breaks, vocal snippets, stabs and 303.

Also had a go at a tempo change/ramp up which I've never done before and also kept it all sample-based except for the 303.

Reminded me of the old days when all I had was an Atari ST and an Akai S950.  Rumour has it, that's what Norman still uses, but I doubt that's true!

Love the INXS sample Petter! (I think that's what it is) and the mix is very polished too, what's your secret? :-)

Didn't actually start this until after xmas, so it's a quick one! A bot of a challenging one as way out of my genre zone, but fun and educational none the less! Hope you enjoy it. Here's my entry:

Found a small pocket of time to (hopefully) slightly improve my mix, and have updated my entry. 

But wow, what a lineup once more! All bangers, and all so lovely different. Like them all, and yet again I'm very happy I'm not the one picking a winner here :)  Well Rob should have his challenge too, right! :D

Another late one from me, and another not enough time to do a decent mix etc blah blah. Anyway, I based this largely on Right Here, Right now, couldn't quite bring myself to go the major key, full big beat route. Have no idea why, but it ended up with a cathedral vibe...

Another great one @ben-m ! Love those Faithless like chords :D

And @simon-unsigned ; Yeah, the guitar riff is nicked from New Sensation :)  Glad you liked it, not sure there's a secret - if any, perhaps the about 50 Producertech courses I took :D
