A mix set is an interpretation of the music as [b]YOU[/] see it, that's why except for the trainwrecks we would mix the same style music using different tracks and mix points.
My take is that if you want to inject something into the mix then go for it, just remember the name of the comp. is Tranceaddict MP3 DJ Mix, so we are kind of expecting Progresive Trance / Trance / Hard Trance and if you drop a killer pure Hip Hop set, your comp. score will probably reflect that. However if you can successfully pull off dropping some Hip Hop into a great progressive or trance track you are likely to score well.
I've seen mention here that we as judges should be more focued on ensuring that true Trance only is acceptable. I'm definitely not of that mindset, If you can successfully take trance and fuse new style elements into it, then you have taken the music in a new direction or to a new level. Remember we never would have gotten trance in the first place if people were not pushing musical boundaries ALL the time. Stop and think about your all time, TOP 5 killer mixes you have heard, Now think about why they are killer, its likely because some new element was subtbly delivered that you can't quite put your finger on but its there none-the-less. Think AVB's essential Mix, Sasha and Digweeds Delta Heavy mix, PvD's Berlin love Parade mix o year or two back?

I totally agree that its cool when people push the boundaries, but I was actually joking ;)

Very Tasty more progressive / housey initially moving into some truly
excellent slices of very hot progressive trance. Generally fairly well mixed
but one or two transitions got a little muddy. but overall very enjoyable
and a nice break from many hours of judging banging trance. |
so as u can see, the winning competitor won mainly because he expanded his horizons. |

Guys, since I last posted I had to rebuild my PC. Bummer. Lots of
software installations to say the least. Its amazing how you forget/rely on so much software when you have to rebuild. Very time consuming re-registering everything.
Anyway, I have my mix ready for upload. Its available in 160kps
as requested to qualify for entry with a track list.
I've converted it to audio and tracked it with Fireburner without any trouble. However, I can't seem to cue sheet via Fireburner with the 160kps MP3 mix.
I see there have been words exchanged since I last viewed.
Suffice to say I am also new to all this would would appreciate some friendly advice on how/when to attempt to upload the mix. I have
600k cable (if that helps). If the mix doesn't upload is there an
address to post and if so, can it be verified ?
Be Lucky, |

ok guys & gals, I've just PM'd everyone the ftp info that I received early this morning. That is everyone except 18. DeviantxPete, which I did not see a post by, so I'm not sure who to send the info to.
Lets get busy mixing and uploading :)
