Alex Takton #AutoTruthAT5 Automatic Truth AT5 LLC . (DJ/Producer & Studio Engineer)

Welcome to the official battle details. We want to hear the absolute most far out and creative production the world has to offer. All styles of production are welcome. 

The rules are simple. Each producer gets one minute to play a beat. You can have the DJ to play it, you can play it off your phone, you can play it off your drum machine, we don't care it just better be hot and bumpin'. If you want to see what a beat battle looks like our last one is on the bottom of this page.

How many beats will you need? We plan to have anywhere from 16 producers. You can plan on 4 to 5 rounds of battles. If the judges want to hear one more beat then you should have a couple of them in reserve. The final round will be 2 out of 3. If I was battling I would have 5 rounds, 2 tie breakers and 3  beats for the finals. That gives me a total of 10 beats.

You can register to enter the battle here on eventbrite. The battle registration is $25. To battle you must pre-register. We will not collect your money on the day of the battle. The registration is the place to be. We're 16 and done!

You will be judged on creativity, sonic quality, crowd response, and your personal presentation of the production. There can only be one winner but believe me there aren't any losers. Please respect the judges decisions.

Alex Takton loves hip hop and loves battles. That said, we set out to create a listening experience that will serve as a backdrop for the Game of Def Beat Battle. The Game of Def is available for streaming now. You can click the player at the bottom of the page to hear a few tracks.

Follow the streaming links to your preferred platform and give us a few streams on the old player! We will see you all at the battle!

Our hosts for the battle operate one of the hippest new coffee shops in the city of Milwaukee, La Bodega. Stop by and get a hot cup of Joe to go.
