YES, managed to do better than 8 of you (that's one way to look at it, isn't it), pretty happy with that for my very first mix; think I'll make another one one day

Special thanx to TOR, he gave me some general and some more specific pointers, so thank you!

Just for the record I would like my dj name to be 'IAvA Collectif', think that has a nice ring to it.

If I find the space, I might host it for anyone interested, just because I think the tracks are nice

Thanks, Venik & DJ Sphere for checking out all the mixes, including mine; and mr2gti, for the arrangement.

Congratulations to the top-5! Looking forward to those, you bet I'm going to check em, work my way up the learning curve. Only one thing bothering me (aside from the blatant tardiness of course); I couldn't hear any serious double beats in the set (tranceseed?), which means I'm probably losing my hearing, and that is bad news; or worse yet (mmm, well... not worse really), that I can't distinguish between bad and good beatmixing, and that has 'red alert' written all over it

For me, it was a personal project that turned comp when this thread showed up; lately I wasn't expecting much. Glad to see results though. Didn't do too bad imo

cu, guys!

I listened to the "MarathonMan" mix at the very end and it indeed was awesome. But in the thread MarathonMan said something along the lines of "sign me up as Pete Lee" so thats the mix i judged.

Aye! Thats right - sorry for the confusion!

Glad you all like it, i am actually chuffed to bits. Thank you!

You guys should do this again, but more organized though. And maybe only like 30 min mixes so that its not so hard to listen to them all.

Yeah i would have to say i wet the bed on this one guys... I read the judging criteria the day of submission and was kickin myself. The mixes should be shortened next time... or else find someone without a life to listen to almost 2gigs of tunes in a week. Also next time the judges should be given access to the mixes on the deadline date instead of a month later. Props to Mr.2gti for challenging everyone into competition, and to All the contestants: I had real problems saying that one was better then the other, except for the obvious mistakes there was alot of clean mixing there. Dont make a competition a reason to mix, let the music be that reason!

Yeah thanks a lot for that indeed, also for the hosting during the competition. It could not have been done without you

Right... so i listned through my mix last night. And i must say, i dont really understand how i came that i ended up in the tied third place. I remembered that i did the mix in short time because of the deadline (wich later on was extended quite much), and there where a few horrible transitions.

And i know many of you guys who participated in this contest are better than me and still ended up below me. How is that possble? Either there are criterias i dont understand, my results got mixed up with someone else or rest of the mixes where more or less crap.

Anyway, of course im pleased being "highranked" but i honestly dont feel i deserve the spot. Havnt listned to the other mixes, so i cant say anything about the quality there. But it will sure be intresting to hear the other top five mixes.

And thx to mr2gti! Fun competition, looking forward to the next one! But that one MUST have deadlines wich cannot be extended. Next time, people who participate must respect the deadlines and signing up means that you forfill what you've been asked too and not quit like 2 days before deadline. This also goes for the judges of course.

Many great thanks to all of you who participated and of course, the judges that took time in listening through all of the mixes! I agree with you, 30mins mixes next time!
