Our third round of battle was some of the most exciting bouts we’ve seen so far in the 2014 season. No rookies on the stage Thursday night as we saw the return of AG, Goodwill, Mike Regal and Allerian. The diversity of styles was a welcome change of pace.

No two producers were in any way alike, and each round had plenty of surprises in store.

Round 1: Allerian [408] VS Goodwill [387]

We all were excited to see what Allerian was going to bring to the table this year. Last season, he was a surprise to all who faced who faced him. In 2013 these two competitors faced each other in a very close bout. This year was no different. With only a 21 point differential, Allerian pulled with a win in our first battle.

Round 2: AG [338] VS Mike Regal [433]

It’s been several years since AG has been on the MTBD stage, and it’s obvious that he’s been perfecting his craft since. From what we saw from Mike Regal, he too has been busy in the lab honing his battle skills. Mike stepped out of the gate strong, with an arsenal of hot beats and some Mortal Kombat samples! Mike offered up a FATALITY for this round.

Round 3: Allerian [394] VS AG[329]

Allerian’s electro hybrid style was tough for AG to keep up with in this round. While AG had some heat, Allerian was captivating the crowd with his Elektron Octarack. Live manipulation of the beats came with ease for Allerian, and if those who didn’t care for his sound, were on his side as he freaked the funk.

Round 4: Goodwill [399] VS Mike Regal [441]

This was the battle we had been waiting for all night! Goodwill and Mike Regal brought the HOTTEST of HOTTNESS in this battle. Goodwill’s bass heavy bangers went toe to toe with Mike’s hard hitting samples. After six beats, the crowd wanted more. Before we could get the audience to vote for their favorite, a MTBD #beatoff was called for.

After 4 rounds of battle, Mike Regal came out ahead with a 42 point lead.

Round 5: Allreian [351] VS Mike Regal [421]

Coming back into the ring, after a big win against Goodwill, Mike Regal really hit his stride. While Allerian’s style was no match for Mike’s hard-hitting anthems. The crowd was with him, and so were the judges, as Mike Regal won his third round of competition.

Round 6: Goodwill [375] VS AG[353]

Goodwill seemed determined to knock out AG in this final bout. But AG came correct, and brought his 3 best beats of this night in this round. You could tell each of these producers were ready to claim a victory in the final competition of the night. AG’s style was giving Goodwill a run for his money, but in the end, the judges awarded a few more to Goodwill

In the end Mike Regal not only won each of his battles, but he won over the crowd as well. With a score of 1,295 Mike Regal is our 3rd finalist for the 2014 Miltown Beat Down and will compete in the November 8th Finals.

In our second bout of the 2014 battle season, we welcomed to the stage three MTBD rookies. TALLMKFNTONE, VELLE BEATS and JJ JABBER all stepped up to challenge seasoned battle veterans, JAZZWARD.

How did they do? Well here is the recap of September 11th’s battles.

Round 1: Jazzward [397] VS Tallmfkntone [319]

Jazzward brought it. They brought friends, fans, #BIZZONFACES… but most importantly, they brought hot beats. In the first round of the night, rookie TALLMFKNTONE stepped up with a slight amount of caution, while the boys of Jazzward brought two right hooks and a jab to knock out their opponent.

Ronnd 2: JJ Jabber [365] VS Velle Beats [352]

Rookie JJ Jabber was poised and ready in his first battle against young Velle. But don’t let Velle Beat’s age, or complete lack of facial expressions, fool you… THIS KID HAS HEAT! This was a very close battle, that kept the audience excited and ready for more from these two new producers.

Round 3: Jazzward [433] VS JJ Jabber [374]

The Jazzward crew came with it in their second bout of the night. While JJ Jabber had a hot start in this round, the fellas of Jazzward came out of the gate strong and kept their lead with a three pack of sample focused bass heavy beats. JJ’s bass was no joke either and we started to wonder if our sub-woofers were going to make it through the night.

Round 4: Tallmfkntone [369] VS Velle Beats [374]

Well is the subs got flexed in the last round, they got damn near stretched out in the fourth round. Tone and Velle did not hold anything back. The brain tickling effects of the 40 hertz low end bass were in full effect for this round! Tone came with some exciting breaks, but Velle’s undeniable bass mastery won this round for the young producer.

Round 5: Jazzward [427] VS Velle Beats [417]

In the final bout for the Jazzward crew, they took us down to “Tinos’ Place” for a little touch of yazz flute, with their first beat of this round.

Not only did we hear some great samples from Jazzward, but rookie Velle Beats really hit a stride and almost took out the mighty Jazzward crew, as he fell behind by only 10 points.

Round 6: Tallmfkntone [411] VS JJ Jabber [392]

Tone finally brought the beats we were waiting to hear all night in this final battle. JJ was ready for Tone and had some of his best beats of the evening on cue, but Tone won over the judges and the crowd in his last appearance of the night.

After winning all three of their bouts, and racking up an impressive score of 1,257 JAZZWARD won this night of battles and will move on to the 2014 Miltown Beat Down Finals on November 8th at the Miramar Theater.

Our final night of preliminary battles, went down as our best. 2009 Miltown Beat Down Champion AD LIB made his triumphant return to the Jackalope Lounj, 4 year battle veteran TRADEMARK was back and the “Peoples’ Champ” 40 MIL had his eyes on the prize. We had high expectations for these vets, but we were all amazed with the quality beats we heard from WILD CARD BATTLE winner and Miltown Beat Down rookie, MILES HIGH MAJOR.

Here is our recap :

Adlib [461] vs MilesHighMajor [412]

Just look at these scores! No producer scored under 410, out of a perfect score of 495! What a great night of battles. All of these producers should be commended for their hard work and amazing music.

The 7th round of battle in the 2013 Miltown Beat Down brought a lot of surprises and a ton of great beats. The night featured MTBD veterans Goodwill and Klassik, battling freshmen Lynd-Oh and Allerain. A battle for the books, we had some great moments in this round of competition.

This battle really came down to the scores. Many of our judges were in disagreement with who the victor was in each of these battles. As you can see by the point spread below, it came down to a few marks on many of these battles. It was a very good night of competition.

Here is our recap:
