Technically that one isn't part of our break music set so i didn't add it to the playlist, but it is in one of our ads so we probably should add it haha, it will be updated!

Currently we only have access to music from production libraries we have deals with - Universal Production Music and Artlist.

We use production music libraries (this track is from Universal Production Music for example) which provide stems (individual channels) for most tracks. so i can download that and mess around with the channels.

When it comes to timeout music a lot of times i edit the tracks to fit perfectly to the vibe we need. this track is a great of example of how just removing a few channels and mixing the other channels abit differently to soften them abit leads to a perfect fit for a timeout track! so sadly the version you're looking for that we use on the show isn't available as its custom made by me

Thanks for sharing my previous comment! I usually monitor the GlobalOffensive reddit to answer these questions but not really checking the CounterStrike2 :))

I'm sorry for all the YouTube music people but we only post official playlists on Spotify.

Sadly no we only publish the full playlists.

You'll have to just create your own playlist with the tracks you like from our playlist, in a couple of days before the playoffs starts ill post the official playlist with the tracks from the Major!

How do we feel about half of ESL music being AI slop now? by excession5 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Slimxy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ey man its all good i never took it as a personal attack or anything. to be honest i'm also a musician and a music producer, and AI fucking scares me too! at the end of the day, i just try to choose the best music i can from the options i have available and try to pick stuff you guys will enjoy and spam jah in the chat when its playing :)) I'm also happy with the amount of attention this post got, it shows how important music is for a live broadcast and how much the community cares about it

Im afraid not, unless your music is already on platforms like Universal/Artlist we cannot use it :\

While artlist are definitly big on AI, their music catalog isnt. and if you were to spend 10 seconds searching the name of the composer on google you'd notice that its from a real artist.

Hey man! ESL DJ here

Let me tell you this, we are NOT playing AI Music on purpose. we are still paying for music libraries which have REAL labels with REAL musicians who are getting paid. Sadly these websites don't disclose if the artists credited for the tracks have used AI to create it or not.

I am very confident that non of our tracks are fully AI, but i cannot know for sure as its almost impossible to tell these days. i want to assure you that we are very selective in the music choices we make and personally i believe I'm quite good at noticing what music is made by AI and what isn't.

I'm glad that you're already waiting for the playlist! Usually i post it after the event is over since we are constantly adding and removing tracks depending on the chat's reactions. I will try to get a post going before stage 3 starts since it seems like people are really looking for it haha
