Just skimming through the mix it sounds cool but Im not sure this is the type of music that gets Montreal's (Very picky) stamp of approval, know what I mean?

yea man thats exactly what i was thinking... thats kinda what annoyed me i guess? i hate to sound overly-confident or arrogant but i knew that the mix was pretty solid and maybe the fx were a bit much(?)... but my thing was, i was running with the assumption that a dj competition would be looking to expand the circus sound and not find more of the same sound?
(i am NOT trying to offend any of you guys that mde the competition, i heard your mixes that you posted, which were all top notch, and the performance from all of which on thursday night was even better)

EDIT: any circus staff/admin/promoters on TA feel inclined to throw in their 2 cents?

That is exactly how you sound. And this is not the first time, if I remember correctly.

sorry... im not trying to piss people off man i just had a question about what might be wrong with my SICK mix...
there's arrogance for you

EDIT: before everyone starts kicking me into the ground that WAS a joke

(still prepares for flaming to ensue)

my friend did electro, he wasnt picked
i did minimal, i wasnt picked

it's nothing personal, circus is a house club which is looking for a sound that would suit the club well

im sure everyone's mixes were great, but most werent simply circus material

well considering Steve Lawler plays some of these tracks, im not sure you are right.Nick, this city can almost be called the North American capital of dance music.There is just so many people trying to break through in this town it can be hard.Doesn't mean you are a bad dj.In that business it can sometimes be more of a case of who you know bfore what you know.

....

Lawler can also play whatever the fuck he wants and get away with it because of his celebrity status. Guys like Enjoy will eat it up just like if Sasha started playing Gabber Jazz I'd still be like "OMG BEST DJ EVER"

I did tribal and progressive.... didnt choose also
my guess would be the judges had too many demo cd to listen to.
