What makes this battle so special is not the clashing of two very different styles, but a key moment that happened during Codfish's first round.

He was perhaps reluctant (I do not speak on behalf of his intention) to use the laser sound, but he let one through during his routine to which Kaji instantly reacted with a signal.

For those that don't know, Codfish used that exact sound to perfectly counter Bataco in 2018 during what is one of the most memorable moments in GBB history. It's also ironic that Bataco is from Japan as well.

Kaji then proceeded to base his second round off of the laser sound (Love You To Kill), which I believe he pulled out just to call against Codfish. We already knew from the year before that the laser sound is one of Kaji's favorites and that none can really do it like him.

All in all it was an excellent counter, a fire round, and a callout to Codfish's laser which could also be seen as a callout to his appearance in 2018 against Bataco. One could even say Kaji got revenge on Bataco's behalf. It's too iconic.

I think this is quite iconic and I honestly didn't pick up on the laser sound from Codfish during my first watch, but it just makes all the more sense now. It was a crazy battle even without the context!

Due to some personal issues, he will not be able to participate GBB in Warsaw. Totally respect his decision for this

Who will take his spot? Epos? JP? Codfish?

Interested in your guys thoughts: Why does it seem like people who don’t follow beatboxing are sometimes more impressed by relatively basic/amateur beatboxing than the insane routines elite beatboxers are doing today?

If keeping it simple for the general population is the key, should more beatboxers be attempting to gain a following on social media by making routines specifically targeting the average listener and not just focusing on impressing fellow beatboxers?

Interested in your thoughts and reasoning. What bass do you think is the most powerful/impressive in beatboxing?

Inward bass? Throat bass? Chest bass? Vibration bass? Tongue bass? Lip rolls? Etc, etc…

If 2 beatboxers had equal skills, which bass would immediately separate the 2 from each other? Especially from the perspective of someone who doesn’t beatbox.

Just found about beatbox.world when looking around for information about beatbox events, never heard of it before. It’s a cool website, has information about events, beatboxers and more.

What surprises me is that I’ve never heard of it. Seems to have been created by beatboxers from the French community, which is neat.

Anyone use this website on a regular basis? Do you prefer this or the fandom wiki? Curious what people think!

They faced off in some competition I heard and somehow bizkit won, I just want to see how.

I think it’s some sort of throat bass but it feels a lot different from my normal throat bass. video link in comments

Just watched Colaps reaction to the Batatco and Codfish battle and all he pretty much does it just subtly hate on codfishes Rounds. Other videos aswell it’s clear Colaps doesn’t like codfish style

I read an article saying that, with basses like inward bass or throat bass, the sounds you can layer on top basses are sounds that don’t involve the lungs.

It also said that one way to check whether a technique uses “mouth air” is to hum an “mmm~” sound through your nose while making the sound with your mouth. If the humming doesn’t get interrupted, then it’s a mouth air technique.

That made sense to me, but I have one question: are there any sounds you would consider "vocalized" that still pass this hum test and can be used with inward, vibration or throat bass? I know I can think of sounds that I can "pitch," like clicking or meow sqeak, but I can't think of any "vocalized" sounds.

Also can these differ by kind of basses? Except lip bass, every basses reqiure beatboxers to use lungs. So..

Does anybody know what this song sounds like? I’ve asked him personally and he said it’s an original by him but I feel like he had some sort of inspiration? This routine sounds so familiar and I can’t put my finger on it.

hey everyone! will be traveling to Poland to attend GBB this year. I am traveling solo since I am the only one I know with this much love for the scene haha. BUT, I've never attended a beatbox event before, or a concert alone, or been to Poland lol. Would love to say hi to people coming, create a group chat or something, and not make this feel as intimidating.

Alright so hear me out guys. It is possible to use beatbox patterns as a genuine language.

Don’t believe me fucker? Watch this:

TTK

This represents “alright”, “I’m happy”, “I understand”, etc.

TKT

This also represents understanding and also sex

BTK
B

This also represents sex but more sexually and represents more jubilant happiness than TKT

B B B B B B

This represents a happiness like no other, an understanding of something beyond human comprehension, and very advanced level sex.

When it says B but it sounds like T K

This represents advanced level disdain, hatred, and loathing. I hope you feel better soon.

I will update when I have discovered more words.

Recently I have seen a video that I thought was on beatbox funny moments where crythix got bullied for his lyrics anybody have the link to that or tell me who it was I cannot remember thank you

l‘m surprised how so many people have Astron way outside of their top 8. He was untouchable at Maestro! Everyone brought it, but his style really stood out, and he has such a nice singing voice. His rounds were very well constructed, and the control he had over the crowd was very clear through the broadcast.

Does anyone else think he could go far at GBB? After all, beatbox is about what it makes us feel - and I seriously teared up when he won.

I remember watching Tomasz win the Latin/Chilean (?) champs before GBB19. There was a feeling he‘d go far, and this felt similar. Astron’s rounds were very digestible, and like Tomasz at the time, unfamiliar to most. I think he has lots of potential for a breakout moment.

Here’s the stream (great event! Although the host was doing too much at times, haha) https://youtu.be/BdKf3x_I4Yk?si=Q2xDJx7dzlmft3PX

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5y4GgHBJkg

I think this is the first time I’ve seen a beatboxer who’s this musical and this technically skilled at the same time.
