Been watching alot of Redbull Thr3style performances lately and feeling kind of froggy.

Rules:
Mix must be between 13 - 16 minutes long
At least 3 disticnt music genres must be used in the mix (remixes are ok as long as the remix keeps the feel of a genre) feel free to use more if you like.
Scratching and Tone play is allowed
Only 2 decks and a sampler can be used (ie Serato SP6 or Traktor Remix deck)
All mixes must be done in one take just like if we were on stage
No post production

(Edit) No Sync - I'm down with sync...just not in this battle

Deadline for submission is May 1 at Noon EST

Who's down?

I guess nobody wants to battle...

Can nobody play more than one genre at a time in a set? Surely I'm not the only one?

I'm unsure of the precise criteria. Do we need to do fancy tuntablism like they do in the threestyle vids or do we just need to do a mix with at least 3 genres in it or is the purpose to do more of a mashup of genres rather than just transitioning between them?

Thats the beauty of Threestyle, its not all about fancy scratching (because lord knows I can't), its just about making a set that rocks. Fancy scratching and tone play and such can help sure...but it won't win the battle if thats all you do for 15 minutes. Its all about a mix that sounds good with multiple genres and how you show creative transitions between them. This type of battle is all about creativity and suprises not so much technical stuff, but you do need the technical stuff to pull of the creative stuff...you know what I mean.

Wow...over 24 hours have past since the deadline and still no other entrants....I suppose I am the only one here that can do a Threestyle mix....its a lonely place...I tell you what...I'll extend the entry deadline until monday. That gives anybody who dares to step up to me the entire weekend to come up with something...

Well Mondope and to everyone else, If you can get it done by Monday 5/19 then I'm still down...because I'm ready to publish this mix...but if you are down to do battle, then I will hold off.

I'm going to try and make it. Super busy this weekend I'll give my best shot. If nothing else I'll record from one of my gigs this weekend :)

Ive prepared a tracklist which I will try and record this weekend. It just depends on whether I can get the tempo changes right. Its times like this I wish my controller didn't have stupidly imprecise tempo faders.
