The Arcitype battles in Philly Red Bull Big Tune Competition

AR Classic producer, The Arcitype, battled in this year's Red Bull Big Tune Beat Battle in Philadelphia.

This is arguably the biggest beat battle in the nation and took place Tuesday May 18th, 2010 at World Café Live. The Philadelphia battle was the first of the Red Bull Big Tune, which will visit 8 other cities including Los Angeles, Seattle and Detroit. The winning producers from each qualifying competition advance to the national final in Chicago this fall. Winner of the Chicago final will be given the opportunity to create the ultimate 'big tune' with an A-list artist of one's choice at the prestigious Red Bull Studios in Los Angeles.

The Arcitype made it through the first round of competition (which is not shown in this video) and was knocked out in the second round by the very talented producer, Vanderslice, out of Phoenixville, PA.

The Arcitype had the opportunity to meet super producers, Just Blaze, The Alchemist, Jake-One, Vitamin-D, and Illmind, as well as emcees, Philly Freeway and Big Noyd.

The support Red Bull has shown The Arcitype is only further evidence of the impact this producer's music has on people.
