Conference
Paperchase Beatdown 2024
Get ready for the most sensational beat battle of the year. At Paperchase Beatdown 2024, emerging Hip-Hop, bass and beats producers face each other in an arena-like setting and compete for the #1 position with their skills and originality. Producers register in advance and selected participants will receive various samples and assignments in preparation. During the battle, each of them will present on stage how they tackled these assignments.
A jury of heavyweight producers, including Esko and Reverse, will share their in-depth feedback with the contestants and the audience and both jury and audience will pick a winner and decide which contestants will go home with a prize package and the Beatdown 2024 Championship title. This beat battle is presented by Paperchase, the fast-rising platform for independent artists, and will be hosted by NOELL3.
Participants must hold a ticket to ADE Beats and can register from Sept 9 through Sept 27 at www.paperchase.nl/beatdown.
