Round 1
Round 2
Round 3
Round 4

Due to popular demand, here's round 5. Most of you should know the rules by now, you suggest a genre, get assigned a random one and deliver a mix. For those, let me just point out the most important rule: YOU HAVE TO DELIVER YOUR FUCKIN MIX!!!

For the others, here's the extended version:

Step 1: Registration
If you want to participate post in this thread and name a genre that you want to include in the challenge. This must be a genre that is not already named by another participant. Use only EDM genres and don't select anything extremely weird, rare or specific. I'll keep an updated list of accepted people and genres. You can't add a genre without participating or participate without adding a genre. Also, post in such a way that your intentions are clear.
Registration will be open until next Friday (28.01.) 13:00 (UTC+1:00).

Step 2: Drawing
After the registration closes there will be 24 hours of time when you may do two things:
1) Withdraw from the challenge. (If you don't like the genre list, are too busy, entered accidentally, etc.)
2) If you have successfully participated in a previous round you can name one genre from the list you do not want to mix. I'll consider this in the drawing.
Entering is not possible anymore in this stage. The drawing will be posted on Saturday (29.01) 13:00 (GMT+1:00).

Step 3: Mixing
Your mix should be between 30 and 80 minutes long. The deadline for submitting them is in 4 weeks, on Saturday, 26.02.2011
You're also supposed to offer the person who'll mix the genre you brought in some help if required and give him a short feedback on how well he did.

Hard Trance (and I'd love to get it) .

I'll go with Funky/UK funky, as much as I hate the name for it.

Are you aware that you single-handedly reduced the number of participants by at least 50 % ?
Best to enter with the difficult genres on the last day, I'll do so myself with Humppa.

I'm not exactly sure what that is. Could you post a source / sample of what defines that genre?

Also, this round is not UK themed.

I thought it'd grown in popularity enough, seen some threads about it here, but sure:

I was afraid it might be quite close to UK Garage (which is already in) but I guess it's OK.

Braindance (early 90s IDM like Autechre & Aphex Twin). shouldn't be too hard to find stuff like it. it's very flexible too, so incorporating techno, electro, or whatever else kinda weird from that era you get your hands on is fully cool, cuz it was done that way anyway.
