Definitely with you on that one.

I actually wanted to do a second one, but with so many people not posting their mixes at all, or posting them like 2 months too late I'm not so sure anymore.
Can somebody think of rule changes / ideas to keep that problem under control?

those who didn't respond in here or pulled out when seeing the style to be forbidden. One or two genres maybe excluded, eg dark gabber, nuwhatever, and the person who suggests the genre has to name maybe half a dozen artists that the person taking it on should check out ?

Maybe if there hasn't been a mix posted here even remotely close to that style in the past year...

IMO, exclusion of EDM genres somewhat defeats the purpose (within reason). As for people taking too long... well, I don't really see a huge deal with that, either. Yeah, it's annoying... but what were you really out? (I'm not saying don't do something to remedy this, or keep them from entering the next contest, or whatever you feel necessary. But, why not do the contest again? It's not like it cost you money. )

I agree with excluding those who backed out when their genre was picked, or those that just never responded.

There can't be a second one until this has finished, so:

Announcement:

The challenge will definitively end this saturday (25.04.)! If you haven't posted your mix yet, this is your last chance.

I'd definitely be up for the next one... this time we should have 2-Step Garage as a possible genre But I like Ian's comment, that the genre suggester should list off a few artists to lead the mixer off in the proper direction.

I.E. if I suggested 2-Step Garage I would say MJ Cole, Bump & Flex, Groove Chronicles, etc.

this


also.. for the 2nd time round.. keep it to 2 weeks again, but just politely ask that people stick to the 2 weeks, if they dont get it in in time, then tough titty. for people who have a lot on their plate at that time, then just dont enter the competition, if each contest lasts for 2 weeks, the next contest will come around soon enough

Too bad I missed this, hoping for another round.

Listening to Nik's prog-house mix right now, nicely done.

... aaaaaaaaaaaannd we're done.
The challenge ends NOW!. Thanks everybody for participating.

Here are some rule changes I envision for round 2:

- Fixed and announced dates / timelines for everything.
- After the registration ends people will have 24 hours to withdraw, in case they don't like the genres, didn't really want to play, are too busy, etc.
- There will be a strict time limit of 3 or 4 weeks for the mixes. I'll send friendly reminding PMs a week prior to the end.
- Nobody will be banned for not completing the first one, but people will have to explain why I should believe they'll manage to do it the second time.
- We'll stay with EDM only, because I'm afraid there'll be even more drop outs if someone has to do Country or Love Songs

Let me know what you think!

all sounds good, but i was happy with the 2 week timeframe

I think doing some kind of a pop/rock/whatever mixtape could be fun.

If there's going to be more of this, we will run out of genres pretty soon. Now, I'm not saying there should be brand new ones every time; just to prevent too much of repetition.

Fuck you Meat! You said it ends Saturday and Saturday hasn't ended for me. I'm just waking up now, and hooking up my shit to record my mix.

Yeah, I will.

I have a late lunch party that will probably last until tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to upload it today. However, I will post a tracklist and post a link first thing tomorrow if I don't have time today.

I'm just going through the tracks one last time before recording

Oh, and since the guy that posted it actually said "Elektro-Tech Trance" I took some liberties with some of the tracks, specially the intro, to allow for a better buildup

Oh, don't you lie to me. The "Guess the Cap"-Thread clearly proves that you never actually sleep.


Edit: It's like that Chuck Norris joke: "Woscar does not sleep. He waits. For the next cap."

SSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Don't tell anyone tho

I'm all over this. By the time it downloads, it should be halftime in valencia vs barca

LOL, thanks guys. Let me know what you think

Ian, you lucky bastard...I have to watch it on the web on really shitty quality because stupid Sky bought the rights to the Spanish League in Central America and refuse to negotiate with other networks.

I'm about 30 Minutes into this. The music in this is actually pretty enjoyable. Good selection of tunes here mate. This genre, I think I would have had a lot more fun with this than epic/uplifting. Mixing is quality bro. Nice job, so far.

Thanks Chris, actually I took a lot of liberties on the first half of the mix. Since the guy that posted this genre actually used "Electro-Tech Trance" I got a bit creative

Pretty sure you and most guys will recognize 3 classic tunes in there.

I flicked through & know one straight up. Not totally what i'd call 'techtrance' throughout but it's the beauty of interpretation.

ps. vamos valencia!

Yeah, I'd say the actual Tech-Trance part of the mix is the second half. I'll post a tracklist tomorrow

And no, fuck Valencia!
