Hello Guest - MakeTunes Electronic Music Contest 2
16 February, 2009 - 16:39 — matt
Alright here we go people, it's MakeTunes Electronic Music Contest 2! Who wants to mashup some electronic samples and make something unique to share with us?!
This time our sponsor PrimeLoops has provided us with 10 samples taken from their professional sample pack products, but this time I have selected 5 from Dubstep Producer, and 5 from Breakbeat Electronica.
Once again you're free to mangle, mashup, mix, and generally go to town with these samples in whatever way you see fit - just show us what you can do with them!
Rules:
- Use at least 5 of these samples in your track (you can alter/tweak them to suit).
- Use whatever other instruments, VSTs etc you want.
- You can enter up to 3 tracks in this comp.
Prizes!
This time around PrimeLoops have generously donated 3 prizes! So, first place will win 2 samplepack products (Dubstep Producer & Breakbeat Electronica), and we'll have a runner up prize as well (Minimal Synthesis)!
First place will win:
Runner up will win:

A part of my sub conscience tells me that I am going to compete in this competition for the sole purpose of the picture on the Breakbeat Electronica box. Is it just me...or..........
nevermind.
Lock, cock, and weapons free. Lets do this gentlemen. That box needs to be added to my collection under my bed.

Wait a second, I'm not even sure I can win this thing yet. Competition on this site is tight.

YO What UP I got some fire going on with this entry here, Vocals are by a Reggaeton Artist named TONY DIZE I used the required 5 samples but I focused on the Music_Loops_04_Bm.wav it has a nice lo-fi reggae beat to it so I used it for the intro as is then I chopped skrewed and tweaked it to give me a nice clean and raw bass beat witch I featured through out the track!
LET KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!!
DjWillieF-Quizas(Vocals Remix) w/ext. lo-fi intro
I know this question was asked before, but I forgot the answer... Can we submit a collabo?... Anyway, I'm definitely in!

Yeah I guess collabs are ok as entries - might make it hard to for you to work out who gets the prize if you win though ;)
I would give it to my compadre! I just enjoy competing. I appreciate the response to the question so quickly Matt.

Here is my track for the Electronic music contest 2.
It took some time but I'm finally ready to share it with you.
In this song: i used 6 of the given samples, and added what was necessary.
A female 'Rap' is featured, and used her more as an instrument then as lead, on purpose.
Have fun listening, and get your groove on... its time 2 C U dance!

Here's my entry to the Elecronic Music Contest2:
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/dmt-nrg-remix
this time I used the samples to remix an old song by my band (NGR by sista pollution, which I uploaded some days ago)
if you want, listen to the original version first!!
Hey all! A late entrant from me... Something I've chucked together over the past few days. Not sure if the idea is very original... I'm sure a hundred people have used the same vocal hook at some point! Oh well, it's a hundred and one now. :-)
Also, I've used 5 samples as required, but some are pretty mangled and/or hidden in the mix, so they're not obvious at all in the track... Hope this isn't thought of as 'cheating'. I can strip parts of the mix out to show where they are if required.
Hope you enjoy anyway - http://www.maketunes.com/audio/babylon-303-in-obama-we-trust

The Results!
Far out, this one was the hardest to judge yet. Seriously. I've been agonizing over this for days, listening to each and every one many times, and once I'd narrowed it down to a shortlist of 7 tracks, many more listens to each of those again... so many GREAT tunes guys!
Firstly, here is the shortlist, in no particular order...
DjWillieF-Quizas(Vocals Remix)
Ed - Horizons
zs1 - funkbreakdub
prea1 - defected da da remix
Sole - EC2
Rubz - Time to lick shotz
Babylon 303 - In Obama we Trust
DRUM ROLL PLEASE!
The 1st place prize goes to.... Sole - EC2
The runnerup prize goes to.... Babylon 303 - In Obama we Trust
Congratulations, your prize details will be emailed to you both shortly.
You have no idea how difficult trying to pick a couple of prize winners was from this comp! All you others on the shortlist you should know that you were a *hairsbreadth* away from a win!
And to everyone who entered, I really enjoyed hearing the creativity and variety everyone brought to this! THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS :)
Rock on. Be inspired. Inspire others. Create.
Congratulations guys! Great entries, great competition!
