Let the battle commence!
After 3 months of production we've finally reached the fun part, the voting stage. First off i'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to open the DAW's and get involved, as well as an even bigger thankyou to Dys7 for allowing us to feature his track in this years comp! As the remixes prove, its been a great track to work with.
Like the PPF album itself, projects like this rely entirely on you guys getting involved & making it your own. The whole idea behind the album & this competition is to get all the members working together, having more established artists working with beginners & giving everyone something to work towards and learn from.
A couple of quick things to mention before we get to the fun stuff...
- The winning remix will feature exclusively on the next PPF album.
- An official 'PPF 2014' preparations thread will begin on 1st December 2013 but it's never to early to get working on material in time for this. Hope to see familiar faces involved again as well as some fresh ones.
PPF (The Past. The Present. The Future.) is a FREE Unmixed Album series created entirely by the HHC.com members. Click here for more info and download link for this years album - http://www.happyhardcore.com/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=60229
- When your checking out the remix submissions please take a second to follow our soundcloud page.
Right, the rules for voting are simple...
- Check out ALL the tracks & vote which 2 are your favourites (bearing in mind that the winning track will receive full professional mastering).
- Send me a Private Message through the site stating your first favourite track & second favourite track. Your first favourite track will receive 2 points & your second favourite will receive 1 point.
- The track with the most points overall will be the winner!
- Votes may be placed up until 28th September 2013.
Can I just make a clear point to the artists involved. DO NOT post any samples of your remixes or download links until the competition is finished. This is an anonymous competition & if anyone figures out which track belongs to who then that track will be disqualified.
Once the competition has finished and the winner has been announced you can do as you please but if your lucky enough to win make sure that your track isn't available to download until mastered & released on 'PPF 2014'.
Now let the voting begin! The original mix can be heard below followed by the entries. Good luck to everyone involved :)

Can anyone else just see white squares where the Soundcloud embeds are meant to be? Maybe its my browser, but given the age and amount of bugs of this forum...
Perhaps its best to put a URL with each?
Oh and can users discuss their nominations between themselves? I don't want to put every housemate up for eviction :
Remixes are sounding good, I'm looking forward to seeing who wins! |
| masterbucks |
All looks fine on my pc Elipton, no problems here viewing.
Ken, can you embed original track in post too for reference :) ... Im being lazy I know. |
| SmashingTheSirens |
I'm just on lunch at work and having a sneaky listen to everyone's remixes and I have to say I am liking everyone's work so far, some good quality remixes. I'll give them all a full listen later. But anyways a well done from me and a best of luck to you all who entered.
I'm guessing those entered can't vote, as that would be silly, and cheeky at the same time! lol :-) |
| Mortis |
Some good interpretations of the track on show here. Some original sounding and some not. I've got an idea which I think is best but the second best is trickier to decide. Will vote later. |

It goes without saying that you cant vote for yourself but if your feeling generous enough to help your fellow members out then by all means ;) |
| Triquatra |
Voted! Being all of the same standard it's a tough call - well done everyone! |
| Dys7 |
Boy, these are absolutely fantastic. |
| Phobz |
My votes in: stunning work from all involved guys. Can't wait to see who wins and would really like to see which artists were involved with their remix after the winners been announced. Brilliant stuff :) |

I second that!
Enjoyed blasting these out earlier, took me a good few re-plays to whittle it down and finally get my preferred top 2. All good stuff.
Vote in! |
| Ken Masters |
Great varied selection, was sure to go down well :)
Having each remix anonymous is a brilliant way to go about it. Everyone is on a level playing field and im sure the votes will reflect this.
I honestly don't see a problem with people giving feedback on some of the tracks, I think this is all part of the fun especially as its only me and that artist that know which track is thiers.
However what i will say is DO NOT reveal what your exact votes were!. Give feedback on a few of your favorites if you really want too, just try and keep it positive. Once all tracks are revealed and if you still feel you owe it to the artists to give some indepth feedback then by all means but for now just keep it light and upbeat, after all it is just a bit of fun :) |

Sorry, could I also just say a huge thankyou to Dys7 for letting you mad lot loose on his track this year, I know you must have been itching to get involved! Haha
cheers for that man. |
| Moriens |
Awesome remixes fellas! haha if I get one second place vote ill consider it a winner ;D. and im not exaggerating when I say I love them all, fantastic job |
| Dys7 |
Agh! I can't decide which one to vote for.
It's a 10-way tie for me! |
| akumie |
i didn't get around to finishing mine (didn't do final mixdown) because i was busy, may as well put it up here anyway. i'm probably going to take out the cherry bomb parts and release it as an original track.
|
| Phobz |
Awww mate that's gutting, really liking the sound of that Akumie. Like the rushy melody and the beat / snare slowmo build up. Nice :) |
| Ken Masters |
That's a shame you never managed to finish yours Akumie, hopefully see you involved in the next members album though :) |
| Ken Masters |
I figured i'd get up today, have a listen though the tracks with fresh ears & try and pick a favourite.
I must admit i'm blown away with the variation & level of production on show here. I'm seriously struggling to pick a favourite!
Any more than 10 tracks and I may have had to extend the voting deadline 
Well done everyone, will do this annually for sure.. |
| Ken Masters |
You've all gone quiet haha
please take a second to get the word out, the more people we have involved in the voting process the better :) |
| djDMS |
I'm on it mate, will get my vote in asap |
| djchexmixer |
Gave them all a good listen at work.
Going to do so again tomorrow then I'll cast my work vote.
Fantastic work everyone! |
| Captain Triceps |
Should this be a sticky, or get a daily countdown like the other thread?

No rush man, have a good listen through em :)
just want to keep pushing this and get as many votes in possible, that way we'll find the most deserving winner.
The votes so far are as varied as the remixes themselves. |

2 tracks stand out for me & i bet i know who did them too lol
but my lips are sealed  |
| djDMS |
Bloody hell! There are some absolute stonkers here.
Going to be very hard to find a winner. |
| Captain Triceps |
For some reason they've suddenly stopped working for me? Not a single one will work, nor will the actual Soundcloud page itself load.
*EDIT*
It's fixed itself... |

It's on and off for me, bloody frustrating. I don't get a right lot of time to myself to listen to them properly, only heard each one a couple of times and not had a 'proper' listen, so now I have a few minutes and it's not pissing working properly for me!

Do we really need another month for this voting stage?
There aren't that many people on this site, I feel like anyone who was going to vote has already :P |

haha in not gonna lie, I was thinking the same thing the other day.
the only reason i set the deadline as it is was because there was a fair few entries to check out. I didn't expect to get the majority of votes on the first day! Haha
there's definitely still regulars id hoped would've got involved and got votes in so I'll reset the deadline in hope a few stragglers will get involved but shorter than first planned. |
| DJ Hellfury |
last minute vote from me, as i was working on 24 hours of music the last days and had to "cooldown" from everything.
after hearing the samples, i just hoped there wouldnt be that much ukh remixes, but its really good to see that many producers joined this. |

Nah I've still yet to get around to it lol. I already know what my vote is though. |
| Ken Masters |
Right ive brought the deadline forward to the end of this month 30th September, that still gives people plenty of time to get involved but saves us all waiting deep into next month for what may be no votes.
If your reading this for the first time then don't delay, get involved and make your vote count! |
| Ken Masters |
well we're halfway to deadline & without giving too much away, I can tell you that the voting is incredibly tight!
If you haven't voted already then please take a second to get involved, cheers! :) |
| Warnman |
I must say, that after listening all the tracks twice, for me it's still difficult to rate the tracks. Very variefied music is in the game over here... I'll give it another shot today or tomorrow. |
| The Dopeman |
can i vote again lol i want them all to win but in a way they all do anyway they're all amazing remixes |

I swear someone was doing a dubstep remix that was actually super cool (and I don't even care for dubstep). But it doesn't seem like they entered though. Anyone know the one I'm thinking of? |

Didn't know about that one, would have been good to hear it. |

| Ken Masters |
If they're are no objections, on Sunday morning (as voting will have ended) I'll update all the track titles and you can see exactly which track belongs to who, then sunday afternoon I'll announce the winner :)
3 days of voting left! |
| Shades |

| Ken Masters |
Only a couple of days left then we can finally announce the winner!
Its certainly been a close battle but its looking like we now have an out and out winner :) |
| Project Vee |
Last day ooooh the tension lol |
| Ken Masters |
It is indeed! Final day to vote everyone, so if your one of those people who leave everything to the last minute then this is your time to shine! |

Just to build that little bit more suspense, i'm afraid you'll all have to wait till I finish work tonight to find out who won.
I'd hoped to announce the winner before I started but after having to get through all the last votes, fully re-count then begin building the results thread I haven't quite finalized the competition, & i'm not prepared to rush the announcement and make any mistakes for the sake of running out the door.
All will be revealed very soon :)

there's been a lot of time and effort put in by everyone including myself so it would be a shame to rush the announcement just for the sake of getting to work on time.
sorry for the slight delay and all will be revealed very soon :) |
