Im pretty sure you didn't make the remix for the actual competition.
It's a good remix and i found it dj-friendly too...

I think self promotion is a double edged sword, you need to know when to do it, how to do it and how not to look like an ass. A day on myspace music will def give you a better understanding of "what NOT to do" .

Anyways, if you want to get your music accross you should go out there and hand out your cds, let people know you and support the local scene.

The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”

+1

Definitely some good points made. The competition was a good and bad thing. For some, its a free distribution release if your track is good enough and to others it could be seen as a robbery of their creativity. I know Nick Galea remixed the track as well...wonder what that one sounds like.

Thanks for the compliments and for having my back guys. I got some good feedback on how I can improve the mixdown so I'll be doing that today or tomorrow.

I thought I would be tempted to submit it, so I waited till the day after the deadline to start it. Its my first production attempt ever, so I thought it was best not to submit it.

A nice cha cha beat would have been nice. But I guess you don't have any talent
