Illusive Mind's favourite competition entries

For the current Electronic Music Contest
In no particular order

Ed - Ec1
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/ed-ec1
This funky, housey breaks track immediately distinguishes itself by taking it's time to build itself up and it tweaks the samples to suit itself rather than the other way around. This is a track that stands out on its own, not just as a remix.

P!tbull - P!ts Electronic Music Competition Entry
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/pts-electronic-music-competition-entry

Chops the samples to create a new melody out of them. Very inventive.

Mortal Engines - Steppin' Stone
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/mortal-enginessteppinstone

I don't know what 'Booty Tech' is, but this track is very creative. Going beyond just sampling and a hard and dirty track.

New Army - Brighter Days
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/brighter-days-electronic-music-comp-entry

Combining a kick ass beat with some dirtied up samples and some nice melodies of its own this track gives itself some space to breathe which makes it more than the sum of its parts.

Sole - The Calm After the Fight
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/the-sole-the-calm-after-the-fight

Using the samples as a base to play some nice hard edged synth riffs, Sole makes the sound his own.
