Time for another genre competition?

| Hmm, I've noticed things have slowed down a bit on this board... and it's been a while since we had a genre competition. The last one (which happened after a long stretch of not having one) turned out great... Is there any interest this time around? |

Sure! I also had an idea for another type of competition that doesn't involve getting a random genre. I'll post it next year :)
Edit: actually now that I think about it, it kinda does. Just a different format |

I think it's time for us to ask our Moderator to step up and take the lead. |

| I don't have a lot of time to spend on TA at the moment, aside from general janitor duties, sorry guys :/ It might be better if one of you organises this, especially since it's you lot that will be mixing the sets. |

Okay, so how about we do my idea now?
The challenge I had in mind was to send in 4-5 tracks/mp3's of any genre, depending on how evil you want to be you can make them all the same genre or all different genres. All the entries will be randomly arranged and assigned to each submitter, to where the the person who receives these tracks will build a set from 45-90 minutes that include them plus the interpretation of the DJ.
The genres can be whatever you choose.
For example:
Dave and Zip each submit 4 tracks of different or similar genres in a zip file. If anyone has any good hosting site suggestions let me know.
Zip gets 4 tracks from Dave and makes a mix that is some 10-15 tracks long that includes all of Dave's music along with his own. They would essentially be collab mixes where you might be challenged to switch up styles through the mixes duration.
Suppose Dave sends Zip tracks in the following genres:
Ambient, Breaks, British House, Hardstyle
I'd be ed.
But it would be interesting to see what people send each other to build a set around.
Edit: Would anybody be interested in this or is it too complicated/stupid? |

| Maybe if we cut it down to 3 tracks, I'd be interested in something like that, Nick... |

| I'll be up for listening/feedback. Some of the mixes for past competitions were quite good. |

That sounds a lot more manageable. Would anyone else be interested in this idea if we cut it down to 3 tracks? |
