Producer Rockwilder working with the Beat Kangz?

Got a CRAZY brand new piece of news for ya..!

———————————————————————————

Nashville, TN – (November 14, 2009) – Music technology leaders Beat Kangz Electronics (BKE) and Grammy Award winning producer Rockwilder today announced an innovative strategic partnership that will empower music producers and artists through the promotion and sale of BKE’s desktop music production software Beat Thang Virtual

Rockwilder will promote Beat Thang Virtual on RocBattle.com, the number one beat battle and beat sales website on the internet, where artists and producers meet to buy and sell beats, and producers “battle” by pitting their best tracks against one another with users voting to determine the winner.

All customers who purchase Beat Thang Virtual will receive a free exclusive membership to RocBattle.com, and a copy of Rockwilder’s video Sell More Beats Online: What Every Producer or Beat Seller Should Know About How To Be Successful Selling Beats Online.

“I’m damn near doing all of Method Man’s new record with Beat Thang Virtual,” said Rockwilder (born Dana Stinson). “The preset sounds are so good, I haven’t even loaded my own sounds yet.” In addition to preset sounds, Beat Thang Virtual allows producers to import their pre-existing sound library for use in the desktop software’s intuitive interface.”

“We are excited that someone with such talent and so many classic records is having fun and making hits with our product,” said Aja Emmanuel, president of the Nashville-based Beat Kangz Electronics.

According to Emmanuel, the pairing is a win for customers as well. “Partnering with RocBattle.com will immediately empower our customers,” he said. “They will not only have the tools to create their music, but an outlet through which to sell it.”

Rockwilder agrees. “For the price of the Beat Thang Virtual software and all that it has to offer, I feel it can be a tool to empower artists and producers to make a mark in the music industry without spending thousands of dollars to do it.”

A common mission for both companies is to provide up and coming artists and producers with the professional tools needed to create and promote their music. In that spirit, the partnership also announces the KANG OF ALL BATTLES, a contest where one artist and one producer will win over $30,000 in cash and prizes.

ALL ENTRANTS MUST USE A BEAT THANG or BEAT THANG VIRTUAL to create their tracks so the playing field is level. Producers must only use Beat Thang sounds. Artists may use original Beat Thang beats, presets, or monthly Rockwilder beatz. No one has an advantage because of money or status. Straight Skill, Creativity and Hustle will determine who wins THE KANG OF ALL BATTLES!

——————————————————————————

All I can say is CRAZY!!! Never seen a battle like this, over $30k in prices for EACH winner.

Will Beat Kangz Beat Thang Change The Game?

saintjoe — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:24:45 +0000

The specs on the Beat Thang from BeatKangz look crazy. It comes with more ram standard than many drum samplers can be exapnded to, it comes with 3000 on-board sounds, not just drums.

It can use sd cards, 32 gb each, for a total of 64gb of INSTANT storage, that you don’t have to wait to load.

Separate track lengths, yes, each track can have it’s own length. Onboard sampling, 1gb of sound rom with 4o0mb left open for those of us that don’t have sc cards on hand, we can still get it going.

The sequencer resolution is the same as my mpc 4000, I could go on.

If you haven’t heard about it, you should check it out on their website. www.beatkangz.com

If you have, let me know what you think about it.

Oh yeah…they have a virtual beat thang too! All the specs/sounds of the hardware, in software format.

It’s out now, and it integrates fully with the hardware, whcih ships in October.

I’m trying to get my hands on both, so I can give you the low down.

So what you think about that?
