DJTT Mix competition - Whos got the balls?

I personally believe I've got a good taste in music, and I believe picking the tunes is the important bit.

Limits the people that haven't got the capability to do that. Im guessing most people on here will have a mixer/2 decks or controller and be expecting that what the competition will involve as thats what would be expected if you were to play in front of a crowd. Where as to be able to go through meticulously with software such as ableton adds another aspect, and personally i would call it more of a production than djing/mixing or whatever you call it, as the process would be closer to that of producing a song.

Whats the point if its not all done in one take?

It should be a mix like you would do in a club or in front of people...not made at home....

Yes open is an anything goes set. If you want to mix hip hop into dubstep into moombakore then it would go into open.

I can't so we'll just have to go on trust here. Another reason there's no million dollar prize.

Thanks for setting up some rules Jojo.

What is the "open" genre? Is that for those who mix genres? I believe I might fall under that.

And how will you be able to tell the mix was live and also new? Or does the newness not matter?

7 months ago isn't that old. The mix is a bit meh though (especially for a studio mix), I see why you didn't post it. The levels are all over the place and some of the transitions are a bit staid, not much layering or long mixes, just intro into outro.

I believe all of them are done on wax if I remember. There just basic mixs done quickly.

[*]If you want to call out someone specific speak up. It would be up to the other person to accept the challenge and set the guidelines for that specific mix. i.e. genre, length, gear used etc...
