As promised ages ago, IT'S BACK!
Your chance to show off your skills, and compete for the title of best DJ on HappyHardcore.com
If you're not familiar with the process, this is how it went down last year...
The initial topic and discussion
http://www.happyhardcore.com/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=53562&SearchTerms=mix,competition
The entries
http://www.happyhardcore.com/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=53825&SearchTerms=mix,competition
The rsults thread
http://www.happyhardcore.com/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=54228&SearchTerms=mix,competition
Obviously there'll be dead links etc on these but it gives you an idea of what happened.
Going for a similar idea this year, see what interest we get first.
So who's up for it? |

I'm not in a massive rush what with 7D and work commitments so i can see this part running until the end of this month(ish), then as long as it takes after that! You on a tight schedule mate? |
| Bonkers4Life |
Ah, didnt participate last time. I'm sure i can find some time around school and 7D, so I'm in! |

| silver |
Stickied baby! |
| SpiritWolf |
I guess I'll give it a go this time, count me in! |
| Samination |
since I wasnt in the first one (and i dont want to go topic digging), what was the rules for this one? |
| djDMS |
Thanks Silver! 
Sami - Don't know, i havent made them up yet! |
| Samination |
well since i hate mixing one style, i want to know. And then there's time limits |
| wong |
sami i had a quick read through last years and id say u can probably mix any style u like and make the mix between 30-45 minutes long |
| DJ D-Luc-D |
How does the voting work? |
| _Jay_ |
If you submit a mix, you have to make a conscious effort to listen to all of the mixes submitted. That's where the bulk of the votes will come from. I think you had to vote for your top three last time. I think. Anyone else can vote as well, irrespective of whether you are involved directly.
It's a good laugh. And some awesome mixes come out of it.
Really chuffed I broke my mixer a few weeks ago. |

In private messages to the organizer (Deano [DMS]).
Results are revealed at the end. |

True, I'm just very excited about this. It's the first mix competition I'm going to enter. And I know that it's quite small (looking at previous threads) but its still exciting |
| DJseaking |
ill take part again |
| djDMS |
Looking good so far chaps. I'll start putting some rules, deadlines together over the weekend so we can make some serious progress soon. |
| carldj90 |
count me in
|
| Samination |
This program will follow |
| djDMS |
....eventually!
|
| Bonkers4Life |
Whens this gunna start up? I have some free time very soon and would like to get this mix done during that time :D |
| djDMS |
For those of you wanting to get started on mixes bcause of time/availability issues, here's what you need for now.
Mixes can be ANY genre, but bear in mind that Hardcore rules around here so it's up to you if you take that risk.
Mixes should be 30-45 minutes long. Go shorter or longer at your own risk - remember there are going to be lots to get through and longer mixes might be overlooked.
When your mix is complete, provide me via PM links to your mix. Streaming AND download links would be more helpful so everybody can access them depending on their method of listening.
I'll wait another week or so for people to register their interest. Anyone struggling for time let me know, i'd rather have you on board and delay things than not have you at all!
Once i have a list i'll post it here, then we'll agree a time limit for getting the mixes in. After that, we'll go into voting etc.
Anything else, let me know :-) |
| stray |
Ahhh what the hell, I'm up for it just so there is a small injection of Freeform into the comp ;) |
| Samination |
hm, maybe I should try to go for a (mainly) makina/j-core mix then? |

Hey man, you never responded to my pm. Is that off? |
| D-tor |
I want to mix something stupid. |
| Samination |
I got something cooking that I was thinking of adding to the competition.
I'm going to do a "complete mix" (80 minutes) and then make a shorter one to fit the 45-50 minute space for this competition |
| Kebab Head |
not read the whole thread so if its not too late i will enter - i feel my mixing is now worth entering this |
| Future_Shock |
submitted :) |
| Kebab Head |

Thanks! |
| Bonkers4Life |
Will be working on this next week, as this week is full of exams for me. |
| Samination |
so... i screwed up and didnt just make one mix... i made 3 :P |
| Tastetherainobw |
I'm going to submit my mix tomorrow!
Uk Hardcore, Freeform, and more! |
| Samination |
Dean, have you counted how many we are at the moment? |
| djDMS |
Yes mate, just a few entries so far. Will get on with confirming entries and setting deadlines etc after the weekend. |
| Dys7 |
I will be able to start working on my mix hopefully Monday or Tuesday next week (Its in repair all this week). |
| djDMS |
Any more for any more?
If you're thinking of entering and haven't made yourself known yet, please do so over the next few days.
There will be a prize for the winner if you need that little push in the right direction |
| Simon |
What's the final date for entry?
I really should throw something together pretty soon. |
| djDMS |
Not a lot of entries so far so I need to keep it open a while longer mate. |
| _Jay_ |
Hold up, do we need to actually submit mixes now?!?! Or just register interest? |
| djDMS |
I'll settle for either at the minute mate, but we're still in the process of gathering interest (even though i already have a few entries) |
| GrahamC |
I'll have a go at this :)
Will get working on it tonight! |
| Samination |

| Simon |
Can I just ask, what is the preferred weapon of choice for hosting the mixes, basically I'm really lazy and want either the easiest site/method or for someone to do it all for me...
...Including the mixing!!!  |
| Kebab Head |
So are we ment to be sending mixes in now?
How long are the mixes ment to be? 10mins? 30 mins? 1hr?? What??? |
| wong |

hmmm either that or my brain doesn't store information very well |
| djDMS |
Anyone who hasn't committed to entering and wishes to, be aware that i'm closing entries before the end of the week.
Then it's just a case of rounding up the entries so you listeners shouldn't have to wait too much longer! |

Ah, don't wait up for me. Been caught up with 7D stuff. |
| Ranzor |
Hope I'm not too late. I'll try to submit a freeform mix I'm working on by the end of this week!
When submitting my mix, can I upload it to Soundcloud first and set it to public? Or does it have to be exclusive to you, djDMS? |

You can make it public mate, just make sure you PM me the link when it's up. |
| djDMS |
Last chance for anyone who hasn't confirmed they're taking part.... |
| JAJ |
Can i still take part!!!??? |
| djDMS |
Sure you can mate :-) |
| djDMS |
Right.
Everybody who is still intending to enter needs to get a link to their mix to me by the end of next week (10th june). Soundcloud/mixcloud/download links etc, whatever you have will do. Anyone who can't provide a download link, don't worry - i'll sort that.
Any problems/questions, feel free to get in touch.

Last couple of days folks... |
| Ranzor |
W00t! Can't wait. |
| _Jay_ |
Ahh I'm gonna have to pass probably now :-(
I've leant my decks to a mate (I've moved to a smaller house temporarily), and I'm proper struggling for time these days as well. Stupid full time job. :-(
Will try and listen to as many of the entries as I can though :-) |
| djDMS |
Right, unless you live in some unheard of timezone that's 36 hours behind GMT that's your lot! Entries are officially CLOSED.
I'll just need a while to put everything together so expect the listening/voting thread sometime tomorrow (wednesday).
Thank you all for your effort/input |
