In September 2013, Joint Adventure and Grindin’ presented the Australian Beatmaker Invitational, a one off beat battle that took place in Sydney at the Civic Underground. With international headline act & guest judge Kev Brown joined by local beatmaker legends Katalyst and Chasm, the night was a huge success, and crowned The 26th Letter (Soul Benefits) as the very 1st champion. This would prove to be the testing ground for what is set to be the biggest beat battle in the southern hemisphere…
2014 is now upon us, and this February the internationally re-branded, Australasian Beatmaker Invitational, will be holding adrenaline filled beat battles across most major Australian cities, while also checking in with our skillful neighbours in New Zealand to see what they can come up with.
The hand selected challengers will be showcasing their finest beats to a live audience, plus acclaimed local and international judges, including DJ Houseshoes (Detroit’s Hip Hop Ambassador), and will be competing for a stack of prizes from sponsors including AKAI Professional, Crooks & Castles, Acclaim, Feit and more.
