What an incredible collection of California Living inspired beats from the epic Steemian producers in this Week #12 of the Beat Battle League.
This week we have six (6) different Steemian producers creating entries based off of the theme California Living. This week had such high-quality entries from the group and being in California while judging this week made it an epic experience to say the least.
The judging panel of @chiefmappster, @danyelk, @instrumentals, and @derekmiller thank you so much for all the time, effort , and resources that went into creating your entries.
We have such a dynamic and thriving community of incredible souls that are helping each other to the top. To help this mission, we created an interactive Discord community where you can connect, interact, network and listen to epic music from the Steemit music community.
"The Drop" Community Radio by @djlethalskillz's show is coming soon to the channel which will include live DJ streaming, DJ tips, music production tips, music marketing techniques, and more.
Come drop by with your music and we can play it on the SMA Radio created by @macchiata so there can be a shared listening experience. It is such an incredible experience to be able to jam and listen with Steemians in all parts of the world in real-time.
Also, besides the list of beats below we created a Soundcloud playlist of this week's entries as another avenue for a convenient listening experience.

Man o man this beat is a masterpiece.
Incredible classic sample choices holy smokes and that flute you sampled from "California Dreamin" is legendaryyyyyyyyyy. Especially from 0:52-1:11 gave me the goosebumps. That part really impacted me greatly.

This is a California Living masterpiece right here o weeeeeeee.
The fact that all this MIDI created and you played this epic guitar is so inspirational. Takes such skill, experience, and dedication in my eyes to be able to accomplish this. Especially so well done.
All these incredible sounds you use kept me smiling and engaged throughout. And had me bringing it back so many times.
I totally agree 100% with @scuzzy's comment about how this makes him feel like he is crusing down the LA streets. It has such an incredible Cali vibe to it. And it means so much especially as you know the tribe is in California at the moment.
My favorite part is when you come in so strong at 0:47-:55 and how you integrate that same sequence throughout. I was looking forward to hearing those segments o weeeee.
Also, appreciate the epic artwork you created to correspond with this Californieye beat. That eye with the trees bordering on either side its so detailed and captivating holy smokes man. You can easily get lost in that art quickly o weee.
