A new battle

[GREMM1S]

Mr Dj social app's revivals prompted me to see if anyone is interested in a battle?

Noticed a thread about things to get some more interest/practice in djing, i'm a bit flat myself lately so any ideas for a battle we could do?

Happy to help run it if need be as well.

defs keen.

a short mix comp like 15 mins max, set a minimum song limit of like 7-8 songs to see people really put in da mix skills

Yeah man was thinking something like this, i quite like the beatport based ones where we say ok do the top 10 dubstep tracks for example.

yer but i dont want all the mix to be using the same tracks

[Cupe]

Why not do what we did a while back and choose the top ten from a certain list, then you can use whatever remixes/genre versions of that 10 track list you want?

[Mitch]

Or even top 5 (any remix / edit) plus five of your own

The only reason i like everyone doing the same tracks is that it makes it a more level playing field.

But yeah dont really care tbh.

but track selection is key to a good mix.

True true, just makes it easier to judge having some form of standardization.

What genre are we thinking? For ease to judge and make im going to suggest 20/30 minute sets.

[Kodiak]

I'm gunna put my hand up for this. Need a challenge and inspiration to try something new.

[AlexJ]

we so far in battles ive done deep house and cheese. so anything that isnt that is fine with me. wouldnt mind an electro set (i normally do progressive stuff) or something just to play something different

[GREMM1S]

Electro top 10? Have to use half or something

[Kodiak]

I like the suggestion of set tunes but free to use any remix

[GREMM1S]

What about aria top 10 club chart?

Open to any remix.

[djbater]

I'm new, but would be keen for this. I like the idea of the top 10 aria chart... can we use other acapellas though?

Probably keep it to just remixes of tracks in the top 10.

You have to have some rules or it just turns into "everyone make a random mix".

[Kodiak]

Let's lock it in then.... Seems as though the Aria chart idea seems popular.

Rules

1. All top ten songs from Aria chart must be used (attached below)

2. Free to use any remix

3. Half hour mix (couple minutes either way is Ok)

4. No songs or accapellas permitted that is not from the list

5. No pre made mash ups (live mash up is fine)

6. Submit by ????

7. Winner selected by ????

The song list

[GREMM1S]

Yep sounds perfect man.

I think at least two weeks is reasonable happy to see what others think.

Will we just do a poll result? One vote each?

[GREMM1S]

bit of cheeky deep vibes in there too very nice.

[AlexJ]

any chance we can give it 3 weeks? the next two weeks at hectic as because of uni exams. after that im free as a bird for 10 days and would like nothing better than to sink some time into this battle

[GREMM1S]

Just say due on the first of next month?

[Kodiak]

Sounds good. Gives some time to hunt some remixes.

Not sure what I'm getting myself into here. I got no idea what most of these songs are.

[yizzle]

cant participate on this 1, but i cant wait to listen to what you gents will submit in the next 20ish days

[Kodiak]

Having a listen to the tunes involved... This could get interesting. Looking forward to the different ways people will approach this.

Who's putting their hand up to be in this?

[GREMM1S]

Yeah will submit one
