Rumor has it that if you give 5 DJs the same 5 songs you will get 5 different mixes. Lets test that theory. I purpose that in this battle, we select 5 songs and we all have to do a our mixes using those 5 songs. As to not break the DJF pirating rules, everyone would have to be a member of the same record pool so we can all legally get the exact same songs. I am a member of DJCity and MyMP3Pool.

So...anyone interested?

Or alternatively, do songs that we can get on iTunes or Beatport.

I'm down.

I am not a member of any pool but if I can find the 5 songs proposed (legally, I don't pirate anything anyway) I would be happy to get in on this. Would you be OK with using samples from other sources as a mixing tool, not necessarily the song, just pieces?

Yea lets be having it.
Depends on tunes really.

I'd be ok with house or something along those lines, since I know EDM will get show down in an instant.

I really like this song (house right?)

Something alone these lines maybe?

Glad to see people are down with this. Here is what I think we should do: First decide on a genre. After that, each person submit one song in that genre and that will be our 5 songs for the mix.

I don't think we should allow samples because we all don't have access to the same samples.
No pre or post production (ie premade remixes outside of the songs we select). However feel free to cut an chop it up live in remix decks or sp6 sampler or whatever.
Whatever gear you like. We will vote on to allow sync or not (i don't have a problem with it)
20 min time limit

I like either EDM, Hip Hop, House and Top 40 :uhoh:

I'm down for hip hop stuff or maybe some well known songs.

Stuff like Jump Around by House of Pain, Pursuit of Happiness, idk. Whatever works.

Down 4 whateva genre as long as the songs can be bought somewhere It's all good. I'm just using vinyl/DVS and a sampler and I don't care if someone uses sync.

I'm down. Let's have everyone submit a song (that's obtainable by legal means) and we have to use those 5. My submission is above if we use this idea.

I have to admit, I'm not feeling that bassment jaxx tune, but if thats your selection then cool...Thats what this battle is about, getting creative.

Thought I'll throw it in there because it will be a bitch to mix in to anything.
Let me think some more.
This song always pops in my head when I'm walking into work.

Can we at least agree on a bpm range? Kygo is like 100BPM and Bassment Jaxx is like 130BPM

I don't participate in battles, but if I were to get into one this would be the style I would like.
If I may make a suggestion.... don't try to make it even harder.
if 5 DJ's each picked a favorite song they like, or a trademark iconic song they love to drop, and then a battle made of the 5 DJ's using those 5 songs as the main part of the mix it would be very challenging without trying to add to the difficulty.
points could be given for how much or how little drops from other songs are used, and points for trying to use all the songs somewhat equally and not giving preference to the one suggested by himself.

Yeah I was kinda waiting to put something down to see what the general range was gonna be. I'm OK with any range you guys set or maybe even just 2 sets of ranges to avoid more than 1 big jump.

Let's do 110 - 130. So far everyone I've seen who wants to participate:

ATrain
MrSpyaman
DJ Highline
RabbitMonk
Allensmusic

All of us, submit a track in that range. Then we'll set a deadline and rules.

EDIT: Added allen in case he decides to hop in.

Doesn't the intro exceed 130?
And it also goes below 110.

not 100% on the song but love the hook.

niarta

Shoot, this is hard. How about 100 - 140 bpm?

EDIT: Highline should just pick, he started the battle.

DJ Boom Bap
04-24-2015, 11:35 PM
100-140? You serious? How about 100-110, or 128-140. A 40 Bpm spread is way too big.

DJ Highline
04-25-2015, 11:22 AM
OK here it goes.

BPM range of 120 - 130. There is a lot of music in that BPM range and it is fairly manageable with a standard +8/-8 pitch range.

Song selections due by 11:59PM Eastern time on April 28th. Song selections must include a link where we can legally get a copy. Preferably a playable link as well so everyone can hear what songs we are working with too. If we don't have at least 5 songs, then on April 29 I will pick the remaining songs needed.

Mixes can be done on any gear and sync is allowed. You may use live remix tools such as SP6 sampler or Remix decks but cannot do preproduction remixes. No outside samples.

Every song must in someway be recognizable at some point in the mix (ie can't just use the intro beat of a song and say you used it)

Mixes are between 10 - 20 min

Final mixes due by 11:59PM on May 8th.

Post your official song submission after this post.
