Here is how it worked. First 6 to sign up were in, no qualifying on this run. We started with the first DJ on the list (which was me, DJ_special_K). First DJ made a mix and leaved 32 bars for the next DJ to mix into. When a DJ was done they submitted the mix to me (greatmesk) and I passed it to the next DJ so they can download it and start off were the last DJ finished. Each DJ got 10 minutes of mixing so the total mix is approximately 1 hour long. Each DJ got ONE week to knock out there part, so the entire mix should be done in SIX weeks. Fate didnt like that idea. Almost every DJ had a delay due to personal problems. But atleast we finished. Its a Beast. Thanks to all DJ´s on the mix. Its been a long way, was it.
THE LIST:
1.DJ_special_K
2.EnGramik
3.earl-panda
4.Leon R.
5.TreTuna
6.JesC
haha ooooh man this is gonna be interesting better start searching… xD i was hoping more of a like hip hop / rap style with electro but oh well haha beggars cant be choosers
haha i know what you mean bro its like a rare genre in my whole electro collection… xD
I sat at my comp just playing song after song for a few hours just listening for that rock electro sound found a rare few but should be fun even if its not exactly what i would listen to
my thoughts: any genre is welcome, but it would be nice if we all have like a guideline throughout the set. like hard guitars, samples from rock tracks and so on. We can surely keep the bpm at 130, transitions are welcome too. You may even play another bpm the whole time, if you switch back to 130 at the end of your mix for the next dj to step in.
Everything is possible, spin some hardhouse or drum and base and add a little bit rock on top, add a sample, small blend or whatever.What would really get me excited is something people wouldnt expect to happen, like korn on DnB, metallica scratches… think of ean´s seven nation army routine as a reference
tbh, i am not too comfortable with rock myself, but im open minded and got some great ideas in the back of my mind
EDIT: changed the first post. does everyone feel ok with the conditions?
We can allways change the schedule. this is the estimated date. my suggestion: as soon as one is done, send it in! dont waste time maybe 3 days are enough for one, maybe another one needs 5… we´ll see
Important for that way would be that we all dont waste time. but from the last mix-train… remember? 12 weeks instead of six
sorry for my writing, im pretty dazed and confused anyone remember the movie?
“Well, all I’m saying is that I want to look back and say that I did I the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place… Dogged as many girls as I could while I was stuck in this place.” my mantra, i love that flick lol
Well in my case I like the week time period.
This is the maximum time I will allow myself for the set. If I’m done earlier of couse I’ll hand the mix over to the next passenger on the train.
I have a job that requires travelling so I can’t always “get busy” and I’m definitely going to start AFTER receiving the mix to hear what you other guys did.
PS: I think the electro-rock theme is cool and challenging (for me). Also the electro-rock theme can be interpreted in different ways…
Good luck guys. Quite a challenge but am lookin forward to checking this out when its done. I had a look through our collection this afternoon and we have SFA tracks that i could would call electro-rock. Sounds like yall will be making some mashups then.
