IDEA 4 A COMP (DJ friendly tracks for a mix)

[Cheomap]

So Mina had suggested us submitting tracks for a comp, that a dj (tba) would then mix in a set.

- i was thinking of giving it a theme. for example, taking some classic house music tracks, and remixing them into a dif genre..
- i thought it would be good if we all agreed on a bpm to make the tracks at... give or take like 20 bpm.. just so when mixed, the track you submitted gets played at a tempo that doesn't destroy it's quality/original intention.
-when we got enough, we'll get one of our DJ friends to mix it for us... only using tracks.

-def make it DJ friendly, and have a strong intro/outro.

Theme to be discussed.... i was only suggesting an example... but i'd be down to redo some old house/techno hits to mash the F up. Could be called something like " Condemned House vol.one " or something...

Thoughts? Takers?

After we get our thoughts and criteria in order... we'll announce with official rules, deadline, 'n what have you.

Fuckin' fantastic idea! I'm down wit' dis' yo.

THEME IDEAS:
Remixes of old ad- or theme-songs.
Remixes of old techno and house tracks.
Remixes of old-school rock classics (if 1200 micrograms can do it, we can).

aaaaaw I wish I knew how to mix (mix good I mean, I'm just starting to learn) to participate :]
maybey I can propose some VJ mix when it's done? ;)

thanks for putting here my proposition Cheo <3

[SNM]

I still like the idea of doing movie themes

yeah of course it's a good idea.... no, it's a great idea!!

Maybe we can include all the theme suggestions.. old house tracks... movies.. and what AlojSick suggested too.. mix-mosh of tv as well. why not? -but def keep it more dj friendly, rather than punky stuff.

1- BPM, guys? slower stuff, like 120? or go a bit faster, 200.....225?
whatchall think?
2- Once we agree on everything.. this could be a good project to get some more of our outside-friends involved with the site.. just an example, but i'd prob ask some more electro-heavy producers to be apart. (obviously people i listen to.. not just random people)
3- @Mina .. after we get the final mixed set from a DJ... you should totally do a vj set .. that would be the icing on the cake!

I still think that the advertisement-theme thing is the best one. And I'd say around 130bpm. Nice and housey.
Cillit Bang-techno!

that theme would be interesting... but a whole dj set of it might be a bit .... hokey, no? a little too jokey?
130 sounds good to me

As I think "cinema" theme has been done many times, TV themes is a good idea... Plus it can be designed / imagined in a cultural criticism way, like "blow/crash/smash/destroy mass culture manipulation"

So any TV show intro/outro, advertising musics (and sentences), can be used. @SNM : didn't we talk about making a rmx of IT Crowd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bH-MdVCLWM) intro one day?

Some 80's tvshow would be so fun to work on, thinking of Bewitched (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA-8uk_uDP4) or The little House (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9YZzuhBLs4).

For those looking for inspiration, Doctor Who's original soundtrack is amazing, with wonderful sounds and melodies. And there are also all the anime culture, wich main of it is based on TV Shows, I'm thinking of FLCL OST, wich is rock-jap-punk style, or Cowboy Bebop...

Awww grrr again that I can't do any proper music works actually!!!

I don't know who's gonna mix it all together, but some sentences will be needed between tracks I think, like a tvnews speaker intro, or weather talking, etc...

@SNM : there was an animation TV show made in 1990 of The Wizard Of Oz, so I think your RMX idea is still on ;)

[Alojzy Kowalczyk]

You're full of fucking great ideas Mina! This collab-idea is getting better and better with every post.

I'm always willing to record something in a silly voice.
