Ableton and SoundCloud’s Beat the Clock competition drew an impressive number of quality entries. These tracks, made from start-to-finish within a 24-hour time limit, demonstrate the inspiring creativity and diverse musical visions of the Ableton and SoundCloud communities. Starting with audio stems from M83, Junior Boys and Nosaj Thing, each entry emerged as new and unique. The following tracks represent some of the best entries, as chosen by first the community (narrowing it down to the top 25), and then by an artist jury of M83, Junior Boys and Nosaj Thing (determining the top 10).
