Competition

[countingstars]

I think it would be a cool idea to have a mixtape competition on here, maybe give a concept and then people can make theirs and someone can judge. Just an idea...

[El_Jeffe]

i'm keen, sweet idea

[El_Jeffe]

i'm wondering if there's any auzzies around? i would love to have a NZ vs Auz mix battle, put up the best from each country. could be fun
& any auzzies who do read this, don't even think about adding any song that involves a finn brother, their ours not yours & you know it

[nivek87]

im down for this

[funkel]

I like this idea alot. What should the first concept/competition be?

oh of course mate, it's open to everyone but no one was really replying. as soon as we decide on the first theme then this shabang can get underway

as much as a mixtape can hold, so up to 80 mins. but u dont have to max it out.

a new thread should be made for voting. if you would like to take a look at the pop mixtape comp check this thread out to look at how we did it.

ill make the thread at 7pm tomorrow once everyone submits a mix in this thread.

[aolsux]

sweet, i'm so down for this, are we ysi them?

[aolsux]

another quest, does the song have to be on straight piano, or can it include other instruments in it....i'm thinking the latter

[nivek87]

piano driven. like dcfc

[aolsux]

i call the shots: watch everyone add konstantine on their mix

[x togepi x]

if jazz counts, I'm in.

[aolsux]

i already finished mine

[El_Jeffe]

so piano driven it is then. sweet sweet, does this include keys though? & i don't mend time to bust out the cardboard indie indie dance dance kind of keys

[OveriseFan]

Is this too late for me?

If not I'll make one up by tomorrow.

Another thing, you need to make a yousendit of it so people can judge...

I'll also say most of you broke my rules of mixtaping, but oh well.

[nivek87]

sorry j-man, i just read your post after making the thread for it. i want to try to get these going every week so ill wait next week for you. what are your rules? i can only see one person that broke the unspoken mixtape rule with the dcfc twice.

oops, that was me.
sorry, it crossed my mind that i shouldn't do that but i wasn't positive and i wanted to put both dcfc and keane songs.

[aolsux]

yeah it would be cool if this was a weekly thing

[nivek87]
