CALLING OUT: Deep House Battle

[Spife]

- 1v1 or 1v1v1
- 30 minutes long
- due date/voting time should be discussed
Rules are flexible

My first battle, I've been mixing for about 2 years now and I want to see how I compare. I think the length should be longer then 30 mins but then we'd likely have no voters zzzz (considering how 30 mins is the norm).

Sooo yeah, anyone interested?

[Finnish_Fox]

I might be down but I am:

A) Not very good at differentiating some sub-genres. I play a lot of funky stuff (as you heard) but do have some tracks I think could be considered deep.

B) Not very sure how many deep tracks I have.

[Spife]

I realized while posting this that I dont know what makes a track "deep house" lol, i mean i'd call a track deep/chill/low energy...
Anyway im not going to be a stickler, as long as its relaxed and house music. You think i should change the title?

Hahahaha. :tup:

I know obvious deep stuff... I get down with some Migs but Chandler gets a bit too deep for me (though every now and then the mood will strike me right).

Hahaha... exact same boat. I try to shy away from labeling it and just play what sounds good to me. I always say that I listen to house - nothing too anything - nothing too deep, too funky, too disco, too progressive, etc.

A 30-minute mix is 7 or 8 tracks tops (if you speed through them) and I should have enough... but I still have to check cuz a lot of them that have "deep" samples end up being pretty funky/upbeat.

[m:cake]

i'd also like to join the battle if we go with the relaxed/chill house sound.. cause i can't say for sure if the tracks i consider deep-house are deep-house and not tech/minimal or whatever. never been good with those genre stuff :D

I'm the same but mine is on the funkier edge.

[Spife]

so it sounds like we got 3 chaps who aren't willing to bet much on their genre definitions for "'deep' house" :lol:
What do you guys think for time to work on the mix?

[m:cake]

lets say about one week? till next sunday or smth. like that? or do you guys need more time?

[Spife]

I need a little more time, have a test wednesday I'm not ready for and some more personally stuffy thursday. We could start on the 1st of april though (next sunday)

[Rothgery]

I might be down, if the others fall out. Around the 1st of April would be better for me too

[m:cake]

arround 1st is fine for me too :)

btw 1st is saturday ^^

[Finnish_Fox]

and some more personally stuffy thursday.

Women's issues, eh? :P


We could start on the 1st of april though (next sunday)

Shieeeet, mofo - calling us out and you ain't even ready? Fools have been capped for less than that!

Just playin'... whatever is clever. Gives me a bit more time to look for my elusive deep tracks.

[Spife]

haha test got pushed back to monday but we could still start sunday if you guys want.

[M!TCH]

Finnish you better tear some shit up. Looking forward to hearing these mixes. Oh, btw I sold my 8s. The dude who bought them called me the next day and asked if he could return them because they are WAY too big for his room haha.

Sure... I'm pretty flexible. My only pressure will be my own procrastination. :uhoh:

Are you serious? That's hilarious... I need bigger ones. Probably get some JBL Eons off CL sooner or later.

[Finnish_Fox]

double post.

[eleong]

any space for one more guy?

[Finnish_Fox]

any space for one more guy?

...as long as you don't quite know what exactly constitutes deep house like us. Haha.

(Not my call out, but I'm ok with it.)

[ben mills]

I'd be down, as well.

Or I'd be down to go up against any of the others not in the original competition.

30 minutes is a good length. Don't really have to plan that out, just play musics.

[Spife]

1v1v1v1 it is then!
Also we start tomorrow still yeah?

[JonAvalon]

lets keep it at 3 users max please

[Spife]

1v1v1 it is then!

We got 1 week-3 hours at this point anyway, he'd be to far behind :P

[m:cake]

ok 3 way then.. and to be clear on rules.. i d say without efx and also no post production, anything else to add? or do you disagree with those rules?

[Spife]

Yeah those sound good, no efx and no post production editing (I assume that's what you meant, I just want to be as clear as possible).

[m:cake]

yep thats what i meant. everyone should just record a the mix on the fly without any editing afterwords :)

[Finnish_Fox]

Agreed.

[ben mills]

Do people really edit mixes after recording them?

[Finnish_Fox]

Do people really edit mixes after recording them?

I don't usually unless I recorded more than 74' and I want it to fade out @ 74'... for burning purposes.

[Spife]

Do people really edit mixes after recording them?

I have, but that was because I was recording for a mix competition, ran out of time on the last take and threw a track in there that I wasn't prepared for lol. I just quickly patched it up.

[m:cake]

so finished my part uploading now! Can't wait to hear your mixes! :music:

[Spife]

haha still fiddling with my tracks. I'll probably finish it tomorrow or friday.

[JonAvalon]

mcake confirmed

[Finnish_Fox]

When is the due date exactly? Wasn't sure since it got pushed back and all... still Sunday?

[Spife]

11:59 pm (in your time zone) on sat the 7th. If we're going for a week (and I assumed we were) then yeah that's 7 days later.

[ben mills]

If anyone gets left out and still feels like a battle, I'm down. Or up for it. Whatever lingo you prefer.

[Finnish_Fox]

11:59 pm (in your time zone) on sat the 7th. If we're going for a week (and I assumed we were) then yeah that's 7 days later.

Damn... thought I had till Sunday night. Me and my procrastination. I'll put something together in the next day or two.

[Spife]
