**mix challenge idea…** THE LINK YOU ALL BEEN WAITING FOR so, a couple of years when i used to troll around bijou breaks they did a minimix challenge thing. set tracklist, no rules. just take the tracks and rock in your own way. was thinking maybe we should try a similar thing here. have 10 or so tracks, covering the styles that we all play on here. think it would be fun to do, as a) we’d get several different interpretations of the tracks b) see in better detail how each other works c) by having to work with styles outside of your normal spectrum it would be a good learning experience for all what you all think? * * * Ready, Steady. MIX!! Not sure if the show _Ready, Steady. Cook_ made it beyond UK shores. But the premise was; You have 2 chefs, and 2 contestants. The contestants show up with £5 of stuff they bought in a supermarket and the Chefs had to prepare a meal from it. Kind of the idea here, we’ll throw some choonage at you and you knock out a tasty mix for our aural delights. The combination will made up of; two breaks, two dubstep, two D&B, two House and two Techno. You can play the tracks in any order, with whatever equipment you want. There is no real set length. Infact no rules other than **use the tracks listed** , so please don’t start asking questions similar to that of an old woman in £1 shop asking how much things cost… 😛 Genre decisions are in the hands of (apologies for spelling mistakes, if any) Breaks - ME House - photojojo Dubstep - weltraumpapst Techno - kooper1980 D&B - Citizen\_Insane **We all reveal our choices on tuesday, however i encourage people to post suggestions for tracks in that time. try keep a degree of democracy to this… lol** ---

a friend in vancouver and i are doing this: he selects (but doesnt mix) 2 tracks, i follow with 2, he follows, and so on, until we have about 16-18 different songs. (currently, we are on songs 9 and 10) we then mix them, in that order, to our own styles, and then release / exchange when we’re done. so, im a newb, but im definitely down for this type of collaboration. i like to see what songs others pick in relation to my choice, and then hearing it afterwards is a treat. ---

I think it’s a brilliant idea, would definitely participate. It shouldn’t be in a particular order though, so we can see how people structure their mixes differently as well as actually transistion. ---

> [@](#): > > you really wanna mix up all this stuff or just stick to 1-2 genres? > > was about to post these two, for more wobble 😃 Yeah I was thinking about that as well. That’s why I put in the two wildcards then you have more opportunity to get maybe four of the same genre. I’m game with anything but gabber really although I’ve never really mixed either Dubstep or D&B. ---

> [@](#): > > you really wanna mix up all this stuff or just stick to 1-2 genres? no, really mix things up for more lols… not sure if i feel wild cards though… as people will fall back to their normal stuff, which means we’d see 4 breaks or 4 dubsteps. how about 2 psy tracks? ---

Two breaks, two dubstep, two D&B, two House, two Techno gets my vote. All of those are distinctly different, but can still be blended in such a short time and still have a good chance of sounding good. I’ll go with whatever the majority or ringleader says is official though. ---
