Will They Blend - VOTING TIME

Will They Blend - VOTING TIME
Posted on: 15.02.2011 by Dorcas Bassignani

Original Thread
Direct Link to set on Soundcloud


So, the idea was simple... Take 10 tracks, spanning 5 styles (dubstep, breaks, house, techno and dnb - 2 of each) and mix them together. The idea of this challenge was to push the creative boundaries of people, as opposed to normal mix competitions where you just throw down any tracks you like. The trick was to show the most ingenious use of the tracks supplied.
These are the 5 entries received


The Tracks;
Biometrix - Bass Skanker
Chris Lake and Marco Lys - Stay
Cyberoptix - Geisha
Dopamine/Diverted - Only One (BLIM remix)
Jason Fernades / Hugo Paixo - Intruder
Kiko & Ginos - Anse Vasta
Kuilema vs Rosyroze - Ay Que Linda (Original Mix)
Origin Unknown - Lunar Bass (Commix remix)
Ram Trilogy - Grid Lock (Break remix)
The Rogue Element - My Style


Mix 1

So just have it completely open genre, see how people transition from eachothers flow - would also mean nobody would have to aquire any music they may not have.

yes, and agree. But selecting the tracks may take a bit longer...

Congrats Maxted! A well deserved win.

I'm up for another too, bring it on.

Excellent job everyone. I particularly like this little challenge and want more of them. Maybe since Maxted won, he should choose the next one? My DJ status is "hermit." Between my job and the city I live in, getting out is extremely hard and the community here is nonexistent. Assignments like these challenge me to push harder and learn new things on the spot.

Thanks guys! Really happy i won, especially since the competition was so fierce!

I'll work on writing everything up in the next few days, have to go back to the tracks and rack my brain

I thought the BPM lists were interesting.

4 and 5 were very similar in starting slow and building up the tempo to the end.

1 started fast slowed down to the middle,then went back up to the end.

2 progressed upward towards the end, but did it by going up in bpm and dropping back down, then up higher and drop down.

3 went with starting and ending slow, with 2 peaks in the middle.

Or it's possible that the same 5 people are listening over and over again I'm listening to parts of these again for the 3rd time now, heh. Sick of the songs by now but inspired by the mix techniques...

It did take awhile to listen to them all But aslong as we keep a fresh comment in the thread, keep it at the top. It should get more attention.

I noticed that too. Things have been pretty quiet as far as voting goes.

Am I imaging things? Or has the poll not moved for a few days? The number of d/l and plays suggest that there should be more votes?
