This is a great idea, evem though I'm more prog than trance (if at all) I reckon I could take one for the team and do a proggytrance set.

Originally posted by Acton This would be my concern, should it go to a public vote.

I reckon swamper should select the best mixes and put them up for litening and voting anonimously. If anyone who has submitted is found to be promoting their set nummber, then it's disqualified.

This way a mix would be chosen based on ability and track selection, without bias.

*Bump*

The contest would be to play in Europe sometime in July....

So when do you plan on posting it?

For me, the best set would likely include a diverse range of proggier trance tunes over the past several years, as this DJ would likely be playing an opening set rather than busting out something at peak time. 90% of the marks would be given for the programming, with the assumption that mixing will be tight by default (seriously, how can you fuck up in a recording session with today's DJ'ing technology).

Pretty much my thoughts.

I wouldn't mind putting together a prog set that would work well at a trance event. Playing in Europe definitely intrigues me. Post it up!

I bet it's for the Exit festival in Serbia? One of the companies I work for is having a competition for them as well.
I'll be there anyways, though not as a DJ, I'll probably have some gigs around there though somewhere close to the dates of Exit :-)
Is this competition still going to be held?

Well I doubt it is Exit, they never have any trance really, especially not a trance stage. But anyway great idea for the contest and including a fellow TA track. good luck with it!

Nice!

Originally posted by Swamper It'll be limited mainly to the Trance genre and I'm thinking to limit sets to 1 hour but I need additional criteria to help make it interesting.

Oh.

As far as I'm aware, no criteria/rules have been set yet.
