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

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.

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

sod it... im retracting my first mix!
Seeing your more of a underground crowd... here is my alternative installment.

No fancy covers... dunno even were to begin with that! So tracklisting goes:

3 Muscle Car (Sander Kleinenberg's Pace Car Mix) Mylo Feat. Freeform Five

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.

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.

i was mucking around with my decks last night for the first time in a couple of weeks and had some pretty good results, so i'm going to re-record tonight. might have to sneak mine in after the deadline tho - over bandwidth limit for the month!

sendspace!

yo tape store plz to post a sendspace link.

Speaking of which. The upload link on my mix expired, who knows how long ago, so if you want to download my mix, so you can vote for it, and I can secure my diabolical stranglehold on this competition, then please go here.

The Megaupload link is temporarily unavailable and Rapidshare has the annoying time limit, so I've also posted the mix to Sendspace:

loving Danergy's and Mehlt's mixes so far, btw - haven't had a chance to listen to any others yet

Mind should be up by 9pm PST

Mine

mine will be up later today also.

Would it be fairer to extend it to Monday night so people have the weekend to finish their mixes?

^This. I should be sleeping right now.

is that a yes?

yeah good call

Uploading to sendspace now, but will take about 2.5 more hours. I'm off but will post the link later.

So how is the competition going to work - can someone (with some webspace) put all the mixes in one place then run the poll thread, or at least the ones with links that will expire?

And if I upload one tonight will that be too late?

I was going to put my In the Rain mix up, just cos it was completely ignored on that thread and I think it's OK.
