+1

...so we all have a level playing field as far as tracks are concerned. Some of us don't have the time to spend searching for (& buying) some obscure remixes for this, after all its only a fun exercise to see what we all come up with when given the same tracks

But that's exactly the fun of the competition - if everyone uses the same mixes it's going to be a pretty damn dull competition as there's not really much room for creativity.

I agree that it would give a more level playing field for the competition if we was to use the exact same tracks but yes, overall it would become quite tiresome after hearing the first 5 mixes.

So I'm all for using remixes.

Oh, put me down for techno please

this competition isn't really about finding the most obscure mixes. it's about seeing what people will do with the same tracks. i put out th e criteria a few pages back. it's really about technical skill and creativity. if you can do something creative with a really obscure mix then you'll get some good points for it, but it won't be because you have a mix nobody else has.

one of the main reasons for letting any mixes/remixes is so that people don't have to go out and buy as many new tracks.



sorry for the lack of caps.

I'm kinda undecided on remixes...

Perhaps remixes that everyone has access to (ie Beatport) and the judges can mandate only what remixes can be used?

Quick note on remixes and tunes, territory restrictions may fuck a lot of people over. I couldnt get some of SVD's tunes the other day because of it... and they wonder why we download illegally!

I think there's a way around the territory restrictions.

How many other mixes are outside of what port is offering?

Cheers Beatflux, had a good read. I got the following results from it: make friends with people fromt he netherlands and have them buy it for you and send songs through from ones the labels wont let us buy, or change regions/IP addy's...

I tried one of those proxies to download "Without You Near" and it was too slow to do anything. I guess you could get a friend to DL a song for you, but that's a pain.

You'd be surprised how many bootlegs and unreleased stuff is out there, esp. for tunes like Cafe del Mar, Born Slippy, etc. (and some of them are worthy of releases on their own)
