How about an ILX DJ mix competition? (closing date for entries: Monday 5th November)

what's the prize?

http://www.johnnycupcakes.com/news/images/candy.jpg

This would be cool.

Okay, if people are interested in doing it, we should upload entries to this thread.

The rules are:

1. Only one mix per DJ, and should be you mixing.
2. Mixes should be roughly 60mins long (give or take 5-10 mins)
3. Should really have been mixed for the competition. This means you have from today to record the mix. Obviously no one can tell when the mix was made, but in the name of sport it should have been mixed after 26/Aug/07.
4. When you upload your entry, make sure you include your DJ name, the name of the mix, and what you used (decks/Traktor/Ableton/etc), and a tracklisting.

Not sure whether to have separate competitions for people who use decks and people who use software - what do you all think?

You have 1 month to get your mix in 26/Sep/07 is the closing date for entrys. Then we'll start a poll a week later (to make it fair on those who got their entry in late). The winner gets a hearty virtual slap on the back and the general adulation of the ILX massif.

i would really prefer the sweets (not that i'll win)

is this still a thing?

oh. this was a nice idea.

i may not have time :/

Ello all, just to say that ive entered the comp as well. May the good times roll!

Erm... who or where do i upload my mix?

Hehehe, even I forgot about this. Shitty. Yeah, wack it up on here.

this might stand a chance of being a good idea if you moved the deadline back to say, Christmas or New Years.

I'm still working on mine :)

I still need time.

end of OCtober would be good

Okay! I haven't started mine.

Shall we say Halloweeeeen?

as for me, that laffy taffy's as good as mine. DJs post your mixes for download (scroll to the bottom, might as well use something that's already here)

I will be uploading my mix in the next half an hour.

you are from Sydney AICM £5?

one hour of really dry, melody-free, jeff-mills style slammin' late 90s techno that makes no sense sober and away from the dancefloor coming up.

.

cant please em all hey.

i'm warming up to the idea of doing one of these but I'm really busy so sorry if I don't.

I was supposed to read Jane Eyre today. Instead I started and finished this. But I told my mom that I finished Jane Eyre.

you won't regret it

Uploaded: Tape Store's 'i've never been to a dance club, but i bet it sounds like this' Mix

Note: All mashups by Tape Store on Saturday, Sept. 29 (with the exception of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin's "Bigger Than Yr Yard (Tape Store remix)"

I used Audacity for the whole thing. Thanks to zshare.net and other sharing sites. Also, thanks to the Australian programmers who created Switch.

My name is Chris. This only explains ten seconds of the mix. Do I need a tracklist? It's more fun without it...

I just skimmed my way through Jane Eyre. Grace Poole not killing Jane = ;_;

I'M SO BORED. I MADE A COVER.

I forgot to do all of the details, and I quite like this mix so, like I said, that laffy taffy is as good as mine.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/AbXy6001/covert.jpg

http://www.sendspace.com/file/ud3dsh

A little over 60 minutes over various minimal house/techno and that sort of thang. Made with DSS DJ Which is essentially a Traktor clone but with less bells and whistles. I made a cover, but not out of boredom. I mixed this in the beginning of September, but nevertheless I'm banking on it to win me fame and or fortune.

whoops, I meant to post http://www.sendspace.com/file/ud3dsh

by which I mean:

I WOULD NOT BE A POPULAR DJ

again... you have to right click and save on the link.

I think I just picked out my records, now to find time to record. It's too late in the evening now. I'm stating this to make sure I follow through with it. It's going to change your lives. Or not at all.

I was really excited about my mix a week ago, but it sounds duddish now. I'll probably get a program and create something better.

Inspired by this thread I made a new software mix with varied stuff I've been playing this year. Being mostly psychedelic trance I doubt it wins the competition, it may annoy the jury.

Starts darkish and minimal, progresses to a melodic climax and comes down a bit emotional.

Thanks for listening!

I did mine this afternoon. Kinda eclectic, kinda fun, some wonky mixes but what are you gonna do. I'd been promising myself (and others) I was going to record a series of mixes for a year or two now but kept putting it off. This was fun and hopefully will inspire me to record those mixes as well. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think.

more info soon at http://www.acuterecords.com/blog

oh yeah.

Equipment used: 2 Technics SL1200 mk2s, a Rane TTM56i mixer, Sennheiser HD-280 Pro headphones, recorded directly to Audacity free audio software on a Mac G5 using a Mark of the Unicorn 828 mk 2 interface. In Audacity, I made 1 edit to fix a really messed up mix that I had recorded twice while recording the mix live (picked up the needle and redid the mix then edited out the flubbed take) and I fixed some volume issues. Please excuse any digital distortion, I didn't set my levels well.

just posted some more info about the selections to my blog, for those with way too much time on their hands.

Dan, is that "For Those Who Like to Groove" sometimes known as the "Hollywood Sweat Mix"? I've been playing that quite a bit lately. Looking forward to listening.

Hollywood Sweat Mix is the mix right after the one I played. I'll have to listen again to see what the difference is. There's 2 other versions on this 12, and 2 versions of a pretty awesome song called Lyrical Rundown, which is less hip-house and more hip-hop.

fyi guys I'm working on a funk/soul mix.

fyi guys I'm working on a reggaeton mix.

want

fyi guys I'm working on a jpop/black metal mix

Is anyone really going to listen to all of these???

I'm going to give it a shot. I mean no offense to the talent but there IS such a think as the ffwd button.

i have listened to 2 1/2 already just today, there's not that many c'mon feel it feel it

rip BIG HOOS' funk-soul mix.

: (

I mean no offense to the talent but there IS such a think as the ffwd button.

Yeah, mine works fine this way, since half my mix doesn't believe in transitions.

By the way, if you want me to sendspace, let me know, but i did put it on archive.org:
i've never been to a dance club, but I bet it sounds like this

is this the same as the tracklist you posted upthread, ts?

Yes. And the title is accurate, obv.

how have you never been to a dance club? what with all the awesome, burgeoning scenes emerging from columbia's diverse nightlife.

Tape Store can't pass for 21.

he wouldn't want to bother in this town.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b361/tapestore/shattered.jpg

The Light the Fuse mix is great. Love that Medium Medium track.

thx jamie, glad you dug it

xp- lol I used to go to Shattered

Ha, I'm probably not going to listen to any of them, as first I'd need to see what the ILM consenus on which ones are better (i.e. the vote), and I guess I'll just vote for myself then, ha, C'mon, I need this! if only because it'll look good to put on a resume.

Boo, I've been out of the loop for too long. When is there going to be another round!?

After I win.

stirmonster is going to be hard to beat, damn. more to come

rip BIG HOOS' funk-soul mix.

Hi. I've been missing for a while, but I just listened to this mix again and realized that it's really good.

Ha, I'm probably not going to listen to any of them, as first I'd need to see what the ILM consenus on which ones are better (i.e. the vote), and I guess I'll just vote for myself then, ha, C'mon, I need this! if only because it'll look good to put on a resume.

OK, this is way beyond blatant self-promotion, but what ever happened with this contest? Google didn't tell me much.

yeah it's time we got voting. i haven't got a lot of net access at the moment though. should do soon, but if anyone wants to create a poll, go ahead.

so who won?

we are all winners

I got "best sportsmanship"

lol

"best attendance"

"chair stacker"

they were all graeat except for a couple i wasn't feeling. i remember really liking jabba hands' and twitch's and spencer's

"most bitter"

hey yo these were mostly pretty good. should we try again?

i'm game

i'm in (amateur status)

hon. mention "most improved"

really though everybody should get a prize

I'd do this shit

omg, my mix was so terrrribly awesome! i'll give this another shot.

ok i'll start a thread to avoid confusion

no way dude that's competition! he can only use 1/5 of his collection though ;)

(i hope he does do it again tho, missed out on the mix above)
