Re: Ziptnf - Dag Dabbit [old school trance]

Originally posted by ziptnf See, I told you guys I would finish it! There were several pain-in-the-ass tracks, ones that weren't beatgrid friendly whatsoever. In particular, those tracks were Tenshi and 1998, where the beatgrid kept getting out of sync, so I found myself having to adjust the beatgrid manually during transitions. I wish I had 3 arms Anyways, sorry for playing songs that have been beat to death for 10 years, but these are all my favorites. I mixed them harmonically. Enjoy! Beam vs Cyrus & The Joker - Launch in Progress Gouryella - Tenshi (Transa Remix) Ferry Corsten - Sublime (Thrillseekers Remix) Tiesto - Sparkles Rank 1 - Airwave Sasha - Xpander Ian van Dahl - Castles in the Sky (Wippenberg Remix) ATB - Summer Veracocha - Carte Blanche Binary Finary - 1998 (Paul Van Dyk Remix) Pulser - Cloudwalking Kaycee - Escape Darude - Out of Control [[ LINK REMOVED ]]

of all the mixes I was mostly looking forward to the oldskool trance mix. mainly because there aren't that many oldskool trance mixes made. having listened to this I dunno really what to say. There's definetly no oldskool trance in this mix. More like "top trance hits of 99" or something. Not saying that the tracks are bad or so. 1998 pvd remix, xpander and escape are all great tracks.

but yeah. as already mentioned. the mix felt like an anti-climax. since i expected some awesome oldskool trance but instead got tracks that were already played to death even at the time they were released.

I agree with the old guy though. new trance sucks.

Sorry, dude, I just wasn't into trance before 1997. I was never told HOW old school the trance was supposed to be, but I think tracks that are 10 years old fit the ticket. I didn't have enough time to dig really deep into tracks that I had never listened to yet were produced before 95. I'm happy with what I put together, sorry to disappoint, this seemed to have been a challenge that would ruffle a lot of people's feathers

Originally posted by Meat187 Aaaaaaaaaand we're done!!! When fewer people than in the previous rounds registered I was hoping we could finally have a round where all mixes are done. Sadly I was completely wrong and not even half of the mixes were done. I don't really know what went wrong or what could be done about it. Not to criticize anyone in particular, but the "deal" with this game is that you commit to do a random genre mix and what you get in return is that someone mixes the one you registered. When so many participants just drop out the whole idea goes astray. I don't think there'll be a fourth round in the next few month (unless someone else does it, of course). Maybe with a longer pause interest and dedication will be renewed.

This place always dies out a bit during the summer IMO. Maybe a longer pause before the next one would be a good thing.

Regarding an extended deadline:

Eventhough the point of a deadline should be to mark a clear end I have no problem extending it when it means that actually more mixes are made and not just waiting longer. But experience from round 1 where the time limit was very loose tells me that those who don't finish in time usually never finish.

So yeah, if you put together something in the next two weeks, DO IT!

New time limit: 08.08

So is anyone making use of this?

Probably not.

Montana, I listened to your set, and I thought it was actually pretty dark and trippy for the first 14-15 minutes or so, then I started to lose interest and it just became background music for the next 20. I thought it was pretty good, maybe a few more interesting (I know that's a difficult word to use for Ambient) tracks were necessary?

Mr. Mystery, I listened to your set too, I echo the statements of everyone else, that it sounded more like tech-trance than techno. Not a bad thing, necessarily, as I like tech-trance, but for this challenge, maybe not the best time to play it Mixing was pretty decent, it was more just the style of music that threw me off. Nice job tho.

Sand Leaper, I haven't gotten to your set yet, I will try to listen to it when I get a free chance.

sorry, I went on holiday

Genre challenge, eh?

Hey, Happy Hardcore sounds like crap anyways most of the time, so just because your decks speed up/down doesn't mean you can't release a dodgy set anyways Just look at me, I did it!





...

Listened to the nu jazz one, enjoyed the first half more than the latter one. Nice funkiness shizzle.

I have to say that there were 2 tracks that I really didn't like, being the one around 33-35 and the one around 52. That said, I didn't know what "nu jazz" was before this mix and now I have a better clue, so thanks for that

lol, so extending the deadline accomplished nothing? lol, smack that bitch who suggested that you give them more time.

Indeed it didn't. Confirms my view that in most cases (apart maybe from broken equipment) motivation is the problem and not time.
Anyway, case closed.
