Just for fun/bragging rights.

Thinking 10mins, whatever folk can lay down in that time. No limit on genre/equipment etc.


Anyone be interested in taking part?

why not pick a genre and everybody gives their interpretation of said genre (I know you could probably see the same tunes over and over but just make a stupid rule saying you can't use tracks from other mixes) would be interesting imho
no genre seems hard to judge + it's only 10 min.

It's just a bit of fun...once you start adding rules does that not take away from that a bit?

Also not sure what you mean by this;

"make a stupid rule saying you can't use tracks from other mixes"

So if a tune has already been used in another mix, you can't use it in yours...would that not mean whoever gets their mix in first would effectively close off the tunes they've used for other people?

And everyone would have to do their mixes in order in case two people posted on the same day sharing a tune... nah... 10-15 minutes of whatever you're excited about RIGHT NOW whether it was released recently or not.

yeah I'm not a fan of ruules tbf but this one seems fun because you don't hear the same tune in every mix + people have to dig/be creative + people have to put effort in it + people want to be fast because otherwise the tune they wanted to use might be used already


tbf I can't mix I just want some new mixes with unheard stuff xD thought this suggestion might make things fun

Sounds like a laugh! I'd want 3 decks to do this tho :( Might have to go to badgers to record it.

Seems reasonable.

One that wins gets a custom title of their triumph.
