THURSDAY, 6/24 -> The country’s premier producer battle hits Denver again and a dozen of region’s top producers are primed to battle head to head to see who has the biggest tune aka the best beats.  In case you missed last year’s Big Tune at Beta, MPC master Boonie Mayfield aka Boon Doc took the title, beating out some of Colorado’s top talent, including runner up DJ Psycho, up and coming prodigy Xperiment, world renowned turntablist turned beatmaker DJ Vajra, Yonas from Denver favorites the Pirate Signal and seven others to go to the national finals. Since then, virtually every producer I know has been getting their best beats together to vie for this year’s Denver Big Tune title, a chance to compete in the national finals in Chicago and a shot at the grand prize, a chance to record with the artist of their choice at Red Bull Studios in Santa Monica (previous winners have recorded with Young Buck, Nas & Ghostface).

As if that wasn’t enough, production legends Battlecat & Just Blaze will also be making their first appearances in Colorado, showcasing at the battle.  Battlecat’s production credits include west coast icons Snoop Dogg, Dogg Pound & Xzibit, to name a few.  Just Blaze’s resume is filled with icons too, including frequent collaborator Jay-Z, Eminem, T.I. & more.  Don’t miss both of them, the Big Tune crew (J Moore, Vitamin D, Jake One & DV One) and what promises to be a RIDICULOUS producer battle, all at the Church (1160 Lincoln St) on 6/24.  18+ / Doors at 8 / For free entry, RSVP at RedBullBigTune.com.
