Since 2005, the Lightsleepers, spearheaded by Kavet the catalyst, have been organizing The BEATROOT producer battles. This is the only known battle in Hawaii that pits Producer vs. Producer! Beat vs. Beat! Each battle consists of 8 producers that use various production equipment ranging from the classic AKAI MPC 2000XL, to a Playstation, or the convienient Laptop. Each round is one 2 minute beat each. The first round winners move on to the Semi-final round, and the losers of the first have to battle again to claim the ‘Wild card’ 4th spot. In the Semi-finals round, the remaining producers battle a round to clinch a spot in the Finals! The finals consist of 2 rounds, with each producer playing 2 – 2 minute beats. The winner of the battle claims a spot at the BEATROOT 2008 finals! Overall, the Beatroot brings a cool twist to the producers and beat makers in Hawaii and really is a showcase for all of Hawaii’s established and new producers! Finally, an event that allows the unsung heroes to shine!
