Anyone? 76 hits and no one wants to do a collaborative mix? I'm gonna keep this up and see if you guys want to get together with this!

I think this is a great idea actually. However, I don't own any recording equipment. It's already hard enough for me to even get to someone's place to make a mix. I'd be down to come in make a mix with you when the time comes right, though.

We can do a collab for sure! I would love to sit and actually talk through this and take time our time with it! If you need to use recording equipment just let me know!

The record for the longest continuous club mix is currently 84 hours. I think we can break it if we try!

84 hours?! Damn that is long...but yeah, I am interested, I like to see how this plays out

This is awesome!!! I'M Excited!!! Ok... how do we want to begin this mix?

Isn't that 84 hours one person playing and gets like one 15 minute break every eight hours?

Know there is a record around those numbers of hours with one person spinning solo and it was webcast...

I think DJing that long is absolutely pointless, lol.

Anyhow, cool idea but if you want it to be good in the end you prob need some more guidelines.

-BPM range overall. Someone will throw 145+ stuff in there at any point if they can!

-No Cheesy ass vocal trance should be allowed. lol I love trance, but man I know some of you are into the CHEEESSSSSSSSSSSE. There is good vocal trance and then there is cheese....and when it comes to TAs, it's usually some crap vocal track from a producer or label they like and thus they love it and I bet if it was some bedroom producer they would listen to it for 10 secs and stop it. But because they love th eproducer or label, they play it in the peak of their sets. I don't understand it, hehe. I see it in the videogame world to. People will love said game from said favorite game company or game designers...when the game is ass. They will still buy it (much more than a music track) and try to justify what makes it good. It makes me laugh cause if the same game was made by some unknown developer those same people hate the game.

-BPM range between one track and the next (cause I know some people on this very board who will just slap in some track that kills the whole flow and increases the temp by like 8BPM in one track if the track they are coming off of isn't fast enough).

-An era range for the tracks? Dunno. Just I am sure a few people will slap some old ass crap where it will just seem outdated and out of place within the set.

- Organize who wants in and what styles they are comfortable with. And PLEASE BEG everyone to be flat out honest. There are some DJs (on here) who will say they know or are comfy with playing a style and then when you hear them they obviously don't have too much experience with it...or hell, have the genre all wrong! Then from there, if it's their turn and the style totally doesn't fit them....then skip them or something? I dunno, I'm not gonna figure it out lol. But you don't want someone who plays house music playing after someone mixes in some psytrance track. This might be the biggest part of making sure the mix isn't crap in the end.

And I'd probably make a maximum number of tracks overall so it just doesn't go stale. Not saying 20 or 30. It could be 100 or more. Just need to define a number so people know that it's getting close to end and end it off right, hehe...

Come on, you can't tell me you're sick of SAAAATELIIIITE after only a few years?

Anjuna at its finest moments.

To be fair, I think everyone's moved on past Satellite by now, or they're just tired of defending it...

...good thing Vocal Trance has...improved...since...then.......

......

Anyway, I'm actually with you on this mix idea, and may want to volunteer as a contributor. In any event, Dave has put forth some useful guidelines, particularly in regards to genre and BPM selections, and I would recommend we attempt to build around them.

Certain remixes of Satellite certainly WERE NOT cheesy vocal trance. For the most part it isn't. It's actually a good vocal track overall (compared to 99.9% of vocal trance out there), lol

Well, I recall hearing decent remixes, and not to re-ignite a thoroughly old argument, but I've pretty much sided well with its detractors who would categorically toss this in the dreadful vocal cheese bin.

All good points Dave!!

I dont want to rush into this and really take a moment to iron out how this is going to be created. What the guide lines will be. The obvious what will happen if you do not follow them. Who will be the Master Chief in command in holding all of the mixed data...

I do like the idea of a limit in how many tracks there will be on this. I also am thinking that DJ's have a limit on how many times they can add. 1-2 tops. This way we can have more DJ's and a nice selection of tracks!!

What about requests to be the DJ to mix a certain track?

hmmmm....
