Soundcloud is a partner on our Beat Making Challenges – unique beat battles where we capture field recordings of instruments in the communities where we build a Beat Making Labs and challenge producers around the world to make a genre-specific beats out of the samples. See our challenge page for more details.

Soundcloud was generous enough to offer a free Soundcloud Pro Unlimited account to the winner of our challenge, and regular Pro accounts for the runners up. Check out the results of our #PanamaChallenge on their Tumblr page and look out for upcoming challenges in Fiji and Ethiopia.
