hotいも
Artist: Du Vel Mat Te
Genre: FUNKY BREAKS
7KEYS:
- NORMAL 4
- HYPER 7
- ANOTHER 12 (obj. w)

The final of the three いも BMS. Like all three of them, only audio clips were used, so it's assembled entirely from slicing up loops and one-shots.
This is a high temperature, outdoors-y type breakbeat track. It was made with the image of the Australian outback but there is nothing Australian about it except for like one didgeridoo sample.
I came up with the song name first, because I wanted a "hot potato / cold potato" duality with chillいも. All in all it was the trickiest of the three songs to work on, but I think its atmosphere brings a unique image to the current BMS landscape.
It's also a scratch song, so this time, there's a level 12 by w with a pretty tough scratch section! For a level 12 it may be on the lower end of difficulty, but I can't pass it at all because I can't scratch well. Alas.

Since this is the last いも track and the FINAL STRIKER of team いも, I'll use this readme to give some information about the concept behind the team and alias.
To begin with the alias was a joke on (tribute to?) my friend Cheese who made an album in 2010 that was like 90% just default mixcraft loops. I wanted to see if I could make music only out of pre-existing loops and have it still feel like something original I made. Cheese does not play BMS so he is blissfully unaware of all of this as I type this.
Inspired by old BOF teams like 2011's Yozora's Mixtape (though my sampling technique can not quite touch morigasigeru's) and 2010's まもののむれ が あらわれた！ (which I believe is mostly loops?), I wanted to use the Du Vel Mat Te alias to make a quirky loop-oriented solo team. Not a competitive team, but one with unique personality to bring extra flavor into the event.
My friend's album was named "the album IMO" and had song titles like "farms imo", "fish imo", etc. Thus, translated into BMS culture this naming scheme becomes "teamいも"!
By the way, the concept of "飯テロ" does not exist in the Western internet.

This year I was already doing a solo team and could not lead a second one, so I asked w to "sponsor" me. I'm very thankful for his support, both with registering the team and contributing some charts that I enjoyed playing a lot. Usually I make my own charts, but it's fun seeing your songs with somebody else's charting style!
By the way, the name "Du Vel Mat Te" is just random syllables, but I've since found out it's also made up completely of Norwegian words that produce a nonsense sentence. (Also unintentionally, if you re-arrange it becomes Matte Duvel, which sounds phonetically familiar.)

I might still make songs a Du Vel Mat Te here and there in the future. Like MITCH DOWNVELL it's a bit of a sideproject that exists to try a different production style. I really don't know how long I can stand making music with no access to VSTs, though!
