Inspired by the EPIC NEW YEARS EVE Mix Battle, I'm calling out DJs for a REMIX of the NYE mix: the EPIC NEW YEAR Mix Battle! If you're in, please post in this thread.

The point of this battle will be to get creative with mixing, blending, transitions, sampling, juggling, scratching, and having fun like only DJs do. As such the rules will be as follows:

* The mix will be at least 20 minutes with the last track playing or starting during the 20th minute. This means that as long as the last track is playing or starting between 20:00 and 20:59, the mix will qualify to compete.

* Music can be played via any sound source, but must be recorded live. This means that TT, CDJ, DJ app, DVS or mobile device can be used, but the performance must be recorded live in one continuous take.

* No post-production allowed. This means that no DAWs (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=daw&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDigital _audio_workstation&ei=VFvYUMx5quvSAZXbgdAN&usg=AFQjCNHdL0ynL7zqAA7SX4PzOrtNCJCuMw&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.dmQ) or DAEs (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=digital%20audio%20editor&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CEEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDigital _audio_editor&ei=alvYUPXqO6bH0QHR2oHoCg&usg=AFQjCNGhmFGAxlaHcf9JXaCgoKBrjyif4w&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.dmQ) can be used to fix the mix. Ok, you can normalize... but that's it!

* The Track list is published below. Remixes are ENCOURAGED!

* The mix must play at least 8 of the 15 tracks. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PLAY ALL TWELVE TRACKS! You do not have to play the entire track.

* The mix must include ONE track that isn't on the list. I don't care if it's classical, country, or DixieLand singing in the bathtub. You must play one track that isn't listed. Make it good.

* Mixes will be due to the Battle Mod (Jon Avalon) by 19:00 (7PM) EST on Thursday, January 3!

* Voting will start shortly after the submission deadline and conclude on Sunday, January 6 at ~17:00 (5PM) EST.

* Winner gets bragging rights and losers have to acknowledge their loss to the winner in their DJF signature for January.

So sign up!

Can the length depend on how many people sign up? If more than 5 sign up 20 minutes is a lot of listening and critiquing :shrug: I'd also like to see a rule stating no voting unless 50 posts and cannot have joined within the last 7 days.

Anyone else? If so, the mix drops from 20m to 10m...

That'd be 75 min total listening time... That's a lot.

But right now with just the four of us it's at 80 mins min so..

Do we ever find out whose mix was #1 in that battle, maybe confront them about their sudden popularity among very new members.

As of now it's still 20 mins because it's only us four, and if you're submitting a mix I don't think post count matters.

Edit: I think it should be 15 mins because 80 mins for just us four is quite a bit.

I'm done, I'll submit mine in the evening!

I just wanna add that im a new member too and I voted too on the battle........ I haven't posted except to say Hi and ive mainly lurked, reading posts.

I did at least take the time and interest to listen to the submitted mixes and vote.... though I thought that the amount of voters was real low?...shame then that more longstanding members didn't take interest and vote?

surely its is a mod issue to validate new members??

anyways im looking forward to this one too....:P
