DJTT Mix competition - Whos got the balls?
Who wants to go in a head to head mix off?
We can do a knockout competition and run a vote.
Kinda like a mix train but a bit different.
The rules (Any input welcome):
30 - 45 min
Any Genre
Any format ie vinyl, traktor, ableton, serato or whatever!
Whos in? Put your names down and I will randomly sort out who plays against who
my genre is better than yours(my dad is stronger than yours)
let the people decide!
I think you need to keep the length pretty short though, sort of like the video contests or MF 3D contests so people actually listen/watch the entries. Personally, I have no time to listen to 15 different 40 minute mixes.
So “routines” like live remixes or live mash ups would be better. They are short and easier to judge.
Nah, Its about the full Mix, see what your saying but just have to be patient!
Just play the one track then 
+1…not listening to 30 minute mixes.
Maybe we could do it that if you enter - you have to listen to two mixs and vote
What?
I agree. Also if it was my decision, I wouldnt allow any post mix editing or any crooklyn clan style re-mixes
Agreed. Even though I love me some crooklyn clan once in a while
15 minutes max eh. K i just play Xpander. jester wins
Props on the new icon 
had to google crooklyn clan style re-mixes…
I win.
Um, why don’t you let DJTT create and run any DJTT competitions? I read the title of this thread hoping to find out a new one was started and was disappointed. 
How about we talk ideas for competitions and even better, prizes. Like the competition 2 or 3 years ago where a DJ gig in the south pacific was the grand prize. I could use a cool vacation.
scamo
I think that 10-15 minutes of (DYNAMIC) mixing in a video would make for a pretty cool contest! As opposed to the exclusively controllerism performance routines that have dominated DJTT’s most recent contests, a more mix-based contest would tap the talented-yet-unexamined pool of performance djs that are great at quick mixing, live mashup, and longform sample use. As a dj that uses serato, this is much more the style of performance that I try to perfect. An example of this kind of DYNAMIC mixing is found in this great clip of Kissy Sell Out (skip to 4:54 to get past the chattering)

This definitely, a DJ mix of length is the way forward, 30mins+ gets a vote from me!
I’m fed up of 10min mashups, mini mixes etc: what the fuck does that tell me about how you’d play in club ffs, in fact I don’t even bother listening to a mix a shorter than half an hour.
I don’t want to hear how ‘cleverly’ someone can use MIK to put a few tracks together, add a shitload of FX, mashing buttons faster than they knock one out over Cheryl Cole’s (or any other equivilent) 2012 calendar. Proper, full length DJ mix that’s what blows up my skirt.. I’m probably just old school, but some little 10 mins mix doesn’t cut the mustard I’m afraid.
Rant over… any way Mo is King and kicked arse tonight and the Jamaican’s showed how the USA’s 3 how to sprint (I don’t count Gatlin - he’s a drug cheat, always will be!).
10-15 min is too short…30 min or longer is prob borderline too long to listen to a bunch of mixes. When I make a demo mix I shoot for about 20-25 min range, I’m thinking that might be the sweet spot for this competition, but thats just me
I’ll play four bars…
