[color=red]IT'S FINALLY HERE, THE BEGINNING OF GREAT THINGS TO COME, BUT FIRST...[i]THE CONTEST![/i][/color]

[b]--MERCURY PROMOTE DJ CONTEST--[/b]

[i]MercuryPromote is being established as an upcoming portal catering to the world of Electronic Music.

While the website is and will be constantly under development, the opening act of the site will be to promote upcoming / bedroom DJ's world wide who deserve the international attention they are currently lacking.[/i]

[i]-All mixes w/ tracklisting must be 192kps (approx 60-70 min) and no more than 90MB in size. Anything over this criteria, will be removed from consideration.

-We're looking for unique mixes. Grabbing the top records every jock is spinning and putting that into a set isn't going to cut it - be different, be creative.

-Prog, Tech House, Techno, Minimal, Breaks, Electro, or a combination of whatever flips your lid - no hip hop, no trance, no handbag house.

-Three winners for this contest will be announced on [url]www.mercurypromote.com[/url][/i]

w00t! :RockOn: :RockOn: :RockOn:

Re: >>>> Mercurypromote DJ Contest <<<&

Good luck to all who enter! But what about a best bedroom producer contest? Seems to me they always get left behind! Where would a D.J be without the music creators?? :unsure:

sidenote : i LOVE the refase site!

one contest at a time :)

^^thanks man :Bingo: I aim to please.... I'm actually updating it now

WOW!

That's an incredible idea guys. I've got to listen to so many dj's and enjoy so much mixes I would've never known if it wasn't for [ms] and now you're giving yet another chance for people to dare and show their skills, thank you for all your hard work guys.

(mercurypromote... the empire grows... :P)

yeah, and where would bedroom producers be without mother who clean their rooms and do their laundry for them so they can focus on making music?

Re: >>>> Mercurypromote DJ Contest <<<&

You guys rock :RockOn:
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, you all come through with a sweet bedroom dj contest. I salute you! :Bingo:

Next up: [ms] records, [ms] the club, [ms] the country!! We will rule the world!!!! Well, ok, actually -e- will be the ruler, but I get to taste the food before he eats it!

Re: >>>> Mercurypromote DJ Contest <<<&

Hell Yeah :RockOn: Great Idea

Bring on the competition :!:

very very cool.

what a super idea. nice job palmer. quit giving me boners. =P

Not being a bedroom dj myself i wish all you spinners the best of luck and look forward to hearing your work...

and what another great idea by the team.

FYI, what is "handbag house?" :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

[quote=FM";p="65273]FYI, what is "handbag house?"[/quote]

An offshoot of 'Fanny-pack Trance' I think.

There are so much things left to do and a producer contest is surely something to consider for future..now is the time for the DJ contest and everything else comes later. Be sure we will [i]never[/i] run out of ideas. :)

Good luck to all who participate in the contest. May the inspiration be with you. :RockOn:

Re: >>>> Mercurypromote DJ Contest <<<&

If only this was 1996 when I was 'Lord of the Wheels of Steel'... I couldn't mix a gin and tonic these days :Down:

Re: >>>> Mercurypromote DJ Contest <<<&

its a great idea, there are a lot of young djs who hosted some mixes in the members set that were really cool really looking for who will win this contest cheers!

Re: >>>> Mercurypromote DJ Contest <<<&

Re: >>>> Mercurypromote DJ Contest <<<&

My new demo which is up is 78min long, it doesn't really pick til the latter part, like I planned. Do you really want me to cut the meat out so it's 70 mins? Waiver anyone? It's still under member sets...'my new progressive mix and first on MS.' Thread. Late.
