ID Contest 57 - The maybe not so ultra-easy(ish) edition!

Time to wreck those heads again!

50 samples; a point each for the artist, title and mix.

Except for the last five. In an incredible show of ingenuity I've decided to take the usual fifteen second samples, but instead of being from tracks they are from sets. Don't worry, nothing too obscure. The scoring is pretty much the same for them; one point for the DJ, the event and the date. The last one is a video though (.flv file which this can play if you're stuck).

The zip file is below (14MB). Thanks to Mr. Mystery for hosting this.

The deadline is 20:00 GMT, November 11th (Sunday fortnight).

Best of luck!

Fair enough, but I thought that I'd just mix it up a bit.

The last ones should be easy, just guess each date from say January 1st 1997 to yesterday on every one, then figure out who played where at that date.

I did not think this through.

Ultra-wha? This ain't easy!

This is piss hard for me. Even Chris would beat my score if I participated.

ouch...this one is going to hurt hehe

Fucking hell, I honestly thought that I'd made an easy contest. Looks like I've overestimated the popularity of a lot of these!

I didn't really think it was that hard. I think it's pretty well balanced - some easy, some hard. There's just not many straight out giveaways.

People are just lazy

me neither.. thought it was just about right

Alright, here's the first table. The Mysterious one takes the lead but there isn't a whole lot separating him from the others.

Mr. Mystery 74
isoterra 58
benjamin 49
lacksesepsotygh 24


The uniques table has a similar look:

Mr. Mystery 7
benjamin 3
isoterra 2
lacksesepotygh 1


The sample with the most IDs is 37 with all four entrants getting it, while 20 is not far behind. The award for "Wow, how has this not been ID'd (fully) yet?" goes to 49. There's still another 16 non-ID'd samples looking for a good home.

Just under two weeks left folks so get those entries in!

I know, but I thought that the set was incredibly well known. But I guess they're only easy if you know them. (And even then they can be a bastard!)

lmao@47

Might have a bash at this.

I hate being last but one

A new entry comes in from phant0m, who wades in with 36� points;

Mr. Mystery 74
isoterra 58
benjamin 49
phant0m 36�
lacksesepsotygh 24


He also makes his mark on the uniques table, grabbing a couple of his own while taking a few from the others;

Mr. Mystery 5 (-2)
benjamin 2 (-1)
isoterra 2
phant0m 2
lacksesepsotygh 1


I'll give out some hints for the remaining IDs later to try and generate a bit more interest in this, seeing as it's kinda dying on its arse a bit!

Could I interest Sir in some hints perhaps?
===============================

02. Early release on this site's most popular Psy-trance(ish) DJ's label.

05. 95% of trance is shite this producer says, but this track is hot!

09. Owner or manager of a business or an industrial enterprise, coughed up this breaks tune in 2004.

13. Two clicks away if you look under these clues.

15. The song one would play to greet him.

27. I assure you, this will continue a fine cequence of hits for this guy.

29. Pretty rare, you're probably going to have to Scan the World to find this. Just once though.

33. You might get this by calling Mr. Dierickx.

41. A recent release, just under a dozen days.

42. Finnish producer who had a big hit in 2005, but has since changed his style a good deal.

43. This is going to make you freak.

47. Young Englishman who had a tough night in Madrid recently.

50. Not a DJ's best dream.

A new entry comes in the form of Philby, while phant0m bumps up his score a bit.

Mr. Mystery 74
isoterra 58
benjamin 49
phant0m 43.5 (+7)
lacksesepsotygh 24
Philby 23

Philby also causes a slight change amongst the uniques:

Mr. Mystery 5
benjamin 2
isoterra 2
Philby 2
phant0m 1 (-1)
lacksesepsotygh 1

Just a couple of days left now people!

is it that time already

i'll have to raid those hints a bit later
