In case anyone can't open RAR files, and would prefer a ZIP file of the samples for this contest, I've reuploaded them (8mb zip file)

I'm just now getting underway with a completely different type of tune from my usual sorts - no idea how its likely to turn out!!

13 March, 2008 - 20:14 — Lenroc

Interesting samples. Can come to good use in a new tune. I am going to really try and make the deadline on this one! Also will take me away from the chill stuff a bit, which could be a refreshing change!

13 March, 2008 - 21:32 — ed

ok lenroc nice to hear what you come up with

14 March, 2008 - 00:26 — The Sole

I will judge if you still need one. I believe that all judges need to comment on every single competition post, so as to drop in and say "Hi" and to let the contestant know that from the judges themselves and to give feedback about the song. Myself and other people who have talked to me weren't getting feedback from all the judges. THis is very important to a contest I feel.

14 March, 2008 - 08:39 — Frank Marquis

here's a preview of what im working on for the competition

http://www.maketunes.com/audio/frank-marquis-circles-to-cycles

16 March, 2008 - 00:20 — matt

Man my track for this contest is pretty crazy so far :) I just keep coming back to it, and working on it in the middle of the night - not surprising its taking weird turns in its style/structure/genre. Oh well, its all good haha - stay tuned for weirdness

24 March, 2008 - 13:40 — Frank Marquis

is this thing still on....i mean is anybody even trying....kind of a let down really

24 March, 2008 - 17:14 — ed

lol yeh dosent look like anyone interested this time oh well maybe was a bit soon after ..

24 March, 2008 - 21:34 — matt

I've got one in the works, but yeah I guess maybe too soon? Everyone must be all remixed out, spent ;)

Perhaps an extended cutoff date to allow some more folks to join in over the next month?

24 March, 2008 - 23:56 — Frank Marquis

yea that might work matt...i sure would like to hear some more tracks...its the whole fun of this thing

25 March, 2008 - 00:19 — matt

Yup I agree, its cool hearing a whole range of different takes on it, as they are submitted

25 March, 2008 - 00:44 — Lenroc

Hey guys - I agree on the extension of the deadline. I have been fiddling around in my spare time, but have not really been able to focus on anything decent yet. I was hoping that the Easter weekend would do, but with family visits etc. I'm still nowhere! Gotta FOCUS!!!!!

25 March, 2008 - 01:11 — misko

my track is 6:09 minutes is that allowed and..??

25 March, 2008 - 01:20 — misko

26 March, 2008 - 11:08 — The Sole

He is extending it another month. You guys have until May 1st! He has updated the contest intro! This is a good thing. Does anyone else care to judge in my sted so I can compete? I haven't done a true to God techno for some time. I have been on a experimental rock and collab binge!

26 March, 2008 - 11:17 — wolf21

LET ME KNOW IF YOU GUYS NEED ANOTHER JUDGE. IF SO I'M IN.

26 March, 2008 - 11:19 — The Sole

Wolf you are in and I am out of the judging then! Thanks bro. I am gonna compete. I haven't made anything yet or heard the samples but I am in. Gonna bring some heat. You rock man!

26 March, 2008 - 11:30 — wolf21

NO PROBLEM BROTHA...WHO ELSE IS GONNA BE JUDGING?

26 March, 2008 - 11:37 — The Sole

As far as I know right now just you and Ed. But this is good because I can add to the track amount on this contest. He specified he needed at least 1 other judge, so there might just be you two, unless someone else wants to volunteer.

26 March, 2008 - 11:41 — wolf21

THAT'S COOL...I'LL CONTACT ED LATER AND SEE WHAT'S UP?

26 March, 2008 - 12:12 — The Sole

Yeah..I guess. He didn't confirm with me earlier about volunteering for judge. You should email him. The busy life and all. Cheers man and thanks. I am gonna check out the samples now. Mgith see if I can use all the samples in the same song.

26 March, 2008 - 13:08 — Frank Marquis

damn...i sure am glad i said something....im glad to see this thing is up and running again...sole glad your in this...cant wait to hear what you do...im glad to see some new names as well....im pretty stoked to hear some new stuff....:)

27 March, 2008 - 00:55 — The Sole

I can't use every sample. THe flavors are too different. But I started something yesterday. Thanks Frank

27 March, 2008 - 10:32 — Kaset

Wassup Crew! Here is my entry! I don't have too much experience with this type of style, I am more in to hip-hop, reggaeton & R&B. It's not my best work but I had fun.

5 May, 2008 - 19:05 — RevJoE

5 May, 2008 - 22:18 — matt

The suspense, oh the suspense! :P

6 May, 2008 - 00:57 — Frank Marquis

ed is on a three month vacation so it might take a while to find out

6 May, 2008 - 17:32 — The Reverent One

Well, I guess I won then guys!

7 May, 2008 - 16:24 — The Sole

all those in favor ....
Matt? The next contest?

8 May, 2008 - 11:56 — matt

So is Ed missing in action at the moment? Ha we'd better get this comps results finalized before starting another Sole :) I wonder whether perhaps a short break between comps might be in order too? Just a thought. Unless everyone is rearing to go?

8 May, 2008 - 16:21 — The Sole

I could use a break actually. Also I was wanting someone else to carry the feedback forum torch... I am pooped and haven't been creating much. Too busy playing Half Life 2 and COD 4 and Gears Of War and Halo. Computer first person shooters are cool.

9 May, 2008 - 11:49 — matt

Yeah don't stress over it, I'm sure the feedback forum still attracts a bunch of extra listeners to posted tracks who will comment as well. Its all about enjoying music after all :)

11 May, 2008 - 01:45 — RevJoE

yea when's the next one? and by the way who came in 2nd, 3rd and 4th and so on?

11 May, 2008 - 14:48 — The Sole

Rev Joe? It was a joke bro. We don't know who is 1st, let alone the 2nd or 3rd. We will find out when Ed comes back from vacation.

11 May, 2008 - 19:33 — RevJoE

Oh I get it...lol.... so we're waiting on ed anyway how was I to know without a "LOL" put in there...lol....(like so)....lol....

12 May, 2008 - 15:32 — The Sole

(tee-hee-he)

12 May, 2008 - 18:34 — EUGOD

THE BASSMAN MAY JUMP IN THIS ONE . WHAT YALL THINK ABOUT THAT ?

12 May, 2008 - 18:37 — EUGOD

HAY YOU NO WHAT ? I DID NOT READ THE POST 1ST , IS THIS OVER ALL READY ? SHIT WHAT THE HELL MAN

12 May, 2008 - 23:53 — Frank Marquis

yea...i dont see why it shouldn't be extended but i would hate for you to do all the work and get no credit....that would suck

13 May, 2008 - 11:13 — The Sole

YEah Eugod...you should hold off. THe contest is officially over. Would be a waste of work...except that you still created the song. Maybe you could make one with the samples that shows your spin of how you WOULD have done it. Your song in the end anyways...

3 June, 2008 - 07:07 — ed

ahhhhh sorry guys just got my self a new laptop on my travels i will be sure to chek you stuff soon

4 July, 2008 - 06:51 — The Sole

Cool bro. Hey be sure to check out the open source contest. I know you could work with the multitracks. Adam ZwaK makes some pretty kick ass music. Got almost a whole month before it gets finished. cheers

4 July, 2008 - 10:33 — ed

Ok The Top 3 Tracks are

1, illusivemind - Mountains are Mountains
2, Frank Marquis - circles to circles
3, Sole - Ec3

Congrats To the winners

It Was very difficult to choose between 1 and 2 in the end i just went on "catchyness" all the tracks were mastered and produced to a very high standard thanks for contending everyone!

Seems Like this comp has gone on an age couldnt even remember the samples.
Ok Sorry about the delays long holiday + new house + new baby and the timescale went out the window .

4 July, 2008 - 11:01 — DjWillieF

Congrats to the Top 3

4 July, 2008 - 12:24 — matt

Yeah congrats guys! I think my preference would have been quite similar if I'd been judging.

Oh and Ed - congrats on the new house, new baby, and long holiday lol :P

6 July, 2008 - 00:44 — veno

congrats to the winners!

7 July, 2008 - 10:35 — coolboy

Congratulations dudes! You too Daddy Ed!

Coolboy in the mix.

8 July, 2008 - 14:55 — RevJoE

top three? what about 4th thru 10th?....lol......congratulations to you top three....about time ed...lol.....

9 July, 2008 - 01:25 — illusivemind

Wow, big congrats to Frank & Sole, I think they both produced amazing tracks in this contest. Sole created a mind-bending array of textures that washed over you and Frank crafted a frenetic Drum 'n Bass monster that utilized the samples in a way that still blows me away.
