The judging panel of: @chiefmappster, @beat5e8 [@beatseb], @inthenow, and @derekmiller are looking forward to your creations this Round #12 of Season Two of the #beatbattle.

Thank you again for all the time, effort, and resources you put into creating your art.

Without further adieu the theme of Round #12 of Season Two is:

Ray of Sunshine

Building off of the positive and uplifting round comes this round's theme of Ray of Sunshine.

You can take this many ways; it can be another positive and uplifting beat. That ray of sunshine into the lives of the listener. Or you can take it along side the lines of a summer-esque theme.

We all know how powerful music is. A certain sound, beat, and/or song can bring such joy and happiness to the listener and be that ray of sunshine.

Different sounds create different emotion for different people so interested to see what sounds, instruments, and arrangements are used in creating beats that are rays of sunshine.

However this Ray of Sunshine theme means to you let's hear it o weeeeeeee.

Looking forward to hearing the creations from the incredible producers in the Steemit Universe.

I know cutting it close ... had to clean my bathroom for a visiting #beatbattle judge ... really ate into my time ;-) Conflict of interest? Conflicted about using that nasty toilet before I cleaned it, for sure! :-D

Ayyyyy hahahahahaha you are hilarious :)

As a recap, it was a really fun hang ... Erika did mention I neglected to restock the bathroom tissue in said bathroom, a faux pas from which I quickly recovered. But otherwise we all did have a delightful time that evening ... "Surreal" for both Seb and I we both readily admitted after years of 'online knowing' then crossing the boundary into the 'real life' thing ...
