Rap Musician/Engineer FIRST time EVER seeing Rythmind 🇫🇷 vs Frosty 🇬🇧 GRAND BEATBOX BATTLE 2021

[@dropbarracuda]

For anyone confused, this is a good example of why this year's GBB will for the first time have a "Live Producer" category of the competition, split off from the Loopstation category. So the rules of Loopstation are since 2019 when 2nd devices were introduced is that no matter what, you CANNOT have pre-loaded sounds, however you are allowed to have MIDI sequencer pre-loaded on either the 2nd device or the 2nd generation Loopstation if using one. Those MIDI sequencers must be activated by an artist-made sound, either from their mouth or body. This is REALLY apparent in this video, where the artist is making a noise into the mic to set of the sequencer. There's still a very large "LIVE" element involved, you can't just make a noise and the song just plays, its not like a radio host putting on a record, they still have to craft the song live loop it, and keep the mix well-balanced there on the spot. So there's a ton of skill here, and MASSIVE respect to the artists that are doing this. It's become very obvious that this aspect of looping has grown into it's own thing, hence the "Live Producer" category this year.

[@jimkhana007]

Great explanation 👍

[@dimitriid]

It's also good to remember this first controversy went the opposite way against Inkie all the way back in 2019 when he was also using the Helix with full synth capabilities and the 'Second device' just became all that more controversial in 2021 so it made sense to actually split the category. Mind you it's not *ideal* because we don't know how popular the producer category will turn out to be so many loopers will be encouraged to just stay on the single device loop category and not try at producer but this split category solution it's still better than dealing with a 3rd GBB where this controversy might still be central to the loop category otherwise.

[@dropbarracuda]

@dimitriid 100% all valid points. I think its interesting that they're fully opening it up to unlimited devices for producers. I know Beardyman is one of the judges this year specifically because of the new category, but I'd love to see the Beardytron in competition. In related news: you know how much of a pain in the arse its going to be tearing down, setting up, and sound checking "infinite" devices?? 😆

[@stewartjaquess287]

Well said

This needs to be upvoted so the creator can see it

[@trevordobrinska681]

Dude if you loved frosty’s second round, you have to check out the last German Loopstation Championships. The German loopers are on another level man

[@simondonner398]

Sagau vs Mistix

You mean Syjo vs Mistix?@@simondonner398

[@nubes2553]

Syjo

[@kylewren8289]

Syjo is amazing!!

[@GrowingDownUnder]

Syjo is pretty dope looper I think he is german??

[@killroy8146]

Yeah frosty's second round is absolutely legendary, it was #1 of the top 10 drops of this years loopstation battles. Like everyone else said bizkit vs robin next, i think yall will love it❤

[@stevencoleman3329]

Faxxx

[@JohnBLZ]

Honestly I'd rather have them react to Robin vs KBA or Frosty (at the Kickback Beatbox Battle). We still get Robin's amazing rounds, and IMO better opponents than Bizkit was. Josh O vs Kristof while we're at it?

[@dropbarracuda]

Also... GREAT REACTION guys! This is a whole other aspect of beatboxing and loopstation that is now grown into its own genre at GBB this year, called "Live Producing". LOVE THIS!!!! Y''all's eyes on Frosty's 2nd track drop..... PERFECT. You've gonna love the Bizkit vs Robin battle if y'all do it, they were on the other side of the bracket leading into the finals :)

[@cloudkylezofficial]

I watched this round... Over a 100 times .... I'm still getting goosebumps 💥

[@mariaguezo7136]

The tune from Rythmind’s second round was originally from Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor. Both are insanely talented but for me Frosty takes the w hands down because it was all his own original music, rather than “sampling” other stuff. Thanks for putting me onto loop station battles BP! I found your channel through your Ren reactions but I love your energy and how varied your content is. Subbed ❤

[@petttybettty]

Bizkit vs robin is absolutely a must for next

[@litscreek5361]

Bizkit is the most insane single device user (that means he only uses the loopstation) even more crazy than mb14 and Robin got cracked at using the loopstation once he figured out the oxbox setting the mk2 has a built in sequencer. But imo robins voice is better than mb14.

[@lucasparana828]

Gotta get this guest for more loopstation reactions. Absolutely loved this guys!

[@dropbarracuda]

1 last comment: specifcally for future MixedByBlitz reactions, I'd *LOVE* to see him put in front of some German Loopstation, particularly since they've REALLY started popping off 2022-2023. The German Beat Box Championship 2022 videos are up and the level that they're working now makes them the ones to beat in GBB 2023. German Beat Box Championship 2022 battles I highly recommend are: Antrix vs Kaos (VERY Hype) Lennard vs Friidon (VERY Energetic) Slether vs Kaos (VERY Polished)

[@deliciousficticious3150]

That Lennard v Friidon was insane 👌👌

[@dropbarracuda]

@deliciousficticious3150 Germany's loopstation stepped everything up several levels over the past 2 years, GBB 2023 is going to be really interesting. By the way, if you liked that battle, check out Lennard's "Overload." it's his submission for GBB 2023 Wildcard round 1.

[@litscreek5361]

Pleeeeeeaaase😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve been sayin for a minute, eyyy bro these German kids😂

[@deliciousficticious3150]

@@litscreek5361 I've just watched a Syjo v Friidon v Mistix loopstation fantasy battle. Now that was epic. I might need to get me a ticket to go visit the Germans ☺️

[@sakrai36]

So a fun story that will probably get lost in the comments. Frosty's second round debuted in KBB21 an online competition few months prior to GBB. Rythmind, Saro and Inkie were the judges. During results from the battle in which frosty first used that round, Rythmind said that he has no idea how he could possibly beat it if they were to battle against each other and indeed he couldn't.

[@Flame19judgement]

And to add insult to injury, I think this live version is BETTER than the KBB version.

[@fainthful9465]

It sounds so much better@@Flame19judgement

[@mixedbyblitz]

This is one of the craziest things ive ever seen and heard. Frosty is a legend for that 2nd song 💪 Cant wait to check out more. Much love BP 🙏🙏🙏

[@Helldog6]

If you liked it here, check out Frosty vs Robin from the KBB. The Quality there is crazy lol

[@GrowingDownUnder]

Yeah Frosty is dope and underrated, RIP

Hell yeah!! I was waiting for this reaction

[@KazziNYT]

up!

[@rammie1976]

yes yes

[@PBRatLord]

His collabs with Dlow under the name Kotcha are LEGENDARY and a great show of Frosty as a beatboxer while this shows more of his raw musicality. Yes, this is still all voice in these battles on the loopers, just obv heavily produced and practiced tracks that they're performing live.

[@Firesors2]

Should check out German championship 2022. First up is Syjo vs Mistyx as the quarter final. The whole championship in sequence is a concert of awesomeness. The finally of Syjo vs Slither is magical.

[@Pantauu]

Up

[@heartwork8318]

I loved this reaction! The sounds were great and Blitz looked like a kid in a candy shop! But the most priceless thing is BP head banging with his stank face😂😂 bring on the battles!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

[@iTzRhythm1]

So at this event, after this evening of battling was over a lot of people were just saying that this battle was the finale. As in: It was of such high quality and the hype in the crowd was so unreal!! I wasn't a real fan of loopstation but since I was there for the eliminations I also automatically stayed for the loopstation and DAMN I was in love!! The live effect is even crazier than on youtube!! Even typing this, I just feel the hype again! Frosty's 2nd round was amazeballs!

[@evolutionviii12]

That was an epic reaction! Hell yeah have him back!! Show him them beatbox battles! And the finals!!!

[@mysteryxmike]

I sometimes drop multiple comments in your vids, sorry! Bu right away I just wanna say how much I LOVE how you plug your guest's work and accolades. Like you always sound so genuinely proud of them, and it's so fckn wholesome that you build them up in this way!

[@kae1beatbox58]

I appreciate you reacting to this, but as a non-active beatbox for a decade, I can't help but mention some of the best loop station battles that I probably watch a hundred times. One of those is. PENKYX vs THORSEN | Grand Beatbox LOOPSTATION Battle 2017 | 1/4 Final These 2 are actually household names in loop station, unfortunately/fortunately, they met at the early stage of the competition. I can guarantee you, this is fire

[@amaanusmani1017]

Theres a feature on the loopstations called silent recording, where you can record stuff but it doesnt play it in the output. It gives more of a surprise factor because you dont know whats coming. Thats how frosty usually starts off his rounds by silent recording into the MIDI sequencer which is his second device.

[@hashxmusics]

How did he record the siren, from the first round?

[@jimkhana007]

This is about the 7th time I’ve watched this, not only for what is an epic battle, but I love Blitz’s reaction - you can just see the awe and absolute joy in his face whilst absorbing this epic battle and outstanding tracks these guys gave us 😀

[@jonathonkrueck4028]

2021 battles have a lot of my favorites. It was an epic year

[@FinchRap]

Bizkit vs. Robin is an awesome battle too or from the german champs syjo vs. mistix

[@jimkhana007]

Frosty’s second performance was epic and has gone down as an absolute legendary performance. I remember watching this live and was BLOWN away by it. It is actually his entry submission which is why people knew the track, but I still don’t think people where prepared for or expected such an amazing performance and sound live at the event. Also someone else has explained the difference between the devices, second devices and production in the comments better than I can. But your seeing years of progression in the art in your reactions over different tournaments with different equipment in what is essentially a few weeks of you watching. Looping has come on so far so quickly and what these guys are doing is just unbelievable and deserves so much more credit and exposure 👍

[@Goulartx]

He makes me feel like he is another level of human, and I'm facing a final boss

[@deano2568]

This has to be the best reaction video I've seen . Totally natural

[@simonhagen437]

Bizkit vs robin has te be the next. Robin is on a different lvl good! And dont forget to check mb14 la cup

[@christophersolomon6591]

So glad you finally watched this. That second round is killer!

[@adamwilliams8177]

I told you so 😂😂😂 thank you for reacting to it. Frosty slays in the 2nd round 🔥

[@chotiracreme7134]

Frosty's second round is from kickback battle which was an event during covid. There are both solos and loop station. It is amazing. Also i personally recommend bizkit or Josh O

[@iiBaZZa]

Your joy from Frosty's drop was even greater than I hoped hahah legend

[@Henk717]

For what to react to next, I think for the reaction flow first react to Bizkit's rounds since he does rap in some of them. But really don't miss out on Beardyman's Judge Showcase from 2019 once your done with the 2021 rounds because his showcase is absolutely spectacular and actual freestyle.

[@Flame19judgement]

Yes this, Beardyman is actually insane. He is a pioneer of beatbox looping. If you are prepared for horrible video quality from 13 years ago search youtube for "Beardyman live in the underbelly" An hour of amazement. Also what I would class as beatbox comedy?!

[@TalixZen]

You can pre-load your settings, but everything needs to be produced on the spot. The crazy synths are pre-set effects, but it still takes a vocal input to make them go. Anyways this kind of thing is why the category was split into two: loopstation only and producer (all the extra gear).

[@scottywashere5141]

I told you to check it out BP 😉 Glad you enjoyed it bro!

[@ericgolman2684]

Frosty's Fall is my go to hype up song!

[@TheShamus547]

Yeah like some of the other people have said, you have to react to German Beatbox Championship 2022 and West German Championships 2023, they are both absolutely insane! And the GBB23 producer and loopstation wildcard winners are also lit 🔥

[@cofiddle]

This year they allow for the use of a second device connected to the loopstation. It has to be approved, but you can see it changes the game quite a bit. That on top of the fact that theyre both using that new mk2 device, yeah. Much harder to recognize as a live loopstation performance

[@BrooklynSkateUSA]

Please please react to Bizkit vs Frosty now, it’s the finals of the same tournament and you need to see Bizkits rap rounds

[@williamzimmerman3847]

Nothing can be preloaded. Everything is made live, weather its authentic or through a machine effect or second device effect. Its all made live on the spot (live altered or not) but its amazing what some of these artists can make with just their voice and a machine!

[@Tocinos]

Sequencers are designed beforehand

[@karnazacss]

[@mohammadrehman7788]

Ive been waiting for you to hear Frostys second round in this battle ever since you starting going down the rabbit hole xD

[@skeptic5681]

I'm so glad you reacted to it and I was cracking up seeing your reaction to frosty's second round. I'm not sure if it's already in the comments, but as a background info to rythmind: BraZ explained in a video that Rythmind found out too late that he has to make more songs than he had prepared, so he didn't have much time for the songs here. He is an amazing looper and creative too and I know he can do much better. His first Song I personally don't vibe too at all here, but I think he did a great job with the beat for the second one. I'm not sure if he would've created something that could've beat Frosty's second round, but I think if he had more time it would at least be a split decision. Frosty was quickly becoming my favourite in the GBB21 because I really love the atmosphere he created and the creativity and variety. I would suggest the final round from Frosty and Bizkit, the Solo Elimination Round from Dice, the Solo Elimination Round from Rythmind (it had me cracking up and when/if you watch it, you will probably know why), the sound there it's insane and shows how good he is at what he does. I love seeing the GGB Loopstation content here and that you enjoy watching it too

[@doty777_5]

Such a great reaction as always. I agree with a lot of the other comments, you should check out the GBB 2021 Bizkit vs Robin Semi-Final. Much love ❤

[@Bigtoedilemma]

For some extra context. This is mainly done using granular synthesis using the granular delay built in to the rc505. All the input sounds are made live but using the 505 as a granular synth opens up all the doors for intricate sound design

[@prouvencau6343]

Yes please

[@jbillo6564]

Frosty's huge synth sounds are using frequency modulation on his own voice (or static from a jack lead). The frequency modulation combined with layers of sounds pitched 5 octaves up or 7 octaves up etc can create huge sounds that sound completely digital. @Black Pegasus

[@Luminated]

One thing I've always been so curious of is how Saro has adapted the new sequencer. Something tells me he has some insane stuff cooked up that's going to blow some peoples mind at one point.

[@sowa1894]

Frosty second round drop - best drop GBB looping ever bro

[@amragha2817]

The second round of rethmynd is from motzart lacrimosea and it's crazy and madness

[@Mj-kl3rb]

the ones you already saw were pretty much all from the vocals except for the ones with sequencers. they allowed beatboxers to use second devices that are triggered by voice to be technically beatbox but it became controversial with some people. now in the new GBB, they split the categories into two, loopstation and producing. Loopstation now only allows 1 device which is the loop itself, but the new loop as well allows for sequencing but that's about it. Otherwise, it will be just beatbox with a lot of effects
