[quote]great news, tribalmixes is hosting a local International DJ-ing Contest, which will not call for single warriors from each country, but drives more into TEAM SPIRIT! let me get this clear and up and on the way! basically short version of the rules for this competition is as follows: # only TEAMS of 5 DJs residing in one same country will take part in this competition. # each DJ in each team has to be a member of tribalmixes community! it is one of the main ideas of the competition - local but yet international it is. # only one team per country will be allowed in the contest, if more than 5 DJs from same country are wishing to enter the competition, they will be preselected by a group of staff members headed by sysop (slash). in case one of team members decides to quit, team will be fulfilled by the next-most-wishing dj..
now a little bit on the musical-dj-ing side of this competition, but here everything is simple: # each of the 5 DJs will have to present 1 HOUR long dj set, recorded from a live session or made in the bedroom - doesn't matter. # music must be at least 128kbps quality and up to 192kbps, 44.1khz stereo in MP3 format (averaging 50-80Mb per file). # genres can be anything: trance, house, tribal, proggy, electro or breaks - whatever moves you. BUT diversity will be very appreciated and will be rewarded with extra score (%%), meaning a situation when 5 different genres of music represented by 5 DJs in one same team will be treated with bigger respect and will have forth-start score-wise. # tribalmixes community will be to decide which country did the best showcase of its talents, music from which country sounded the best. # and of course, all mixes must be exclusive, thus recorded specially for this contest and yet unreleased. if one of the DJs in a team decides to fail this rule, all team will be disqualified.
as of right now we already have at least 5 teams planned with djs-competitiors being selected as i type this: Hungary, Egypt, Bulgaria, Russia and U.S.A. if you feel that your country wasn't mentioned here and are ready to take a challenge, all you need to do is get 4 more (or 5 more in case you're just an organizer) DJs to take part in this competition, ready to present their music and mixing skills to the public of tribalmixes community. the deadlines right now are as follows: # all teams must be submitted by Wednesday, December 20th, 2006 and will be appearing for all to see on the main page along with submissions # all music must be collected by Sunday, January 7th, 2007, meaning it must be either uploaded via ftp or any of the megaupload-alike websites. # starting Monday, January 8th, 2007 all the music will be uploaded to the tracker as everLife torrent(s), and a full week will be given for everyone to get the music and to listen to it. also starting this day tribalmixes radio will be broadcasting contest music on 'a country per day' basis from around Noon to 5-6pm for as many days as many teams there will be. more to that, a special stream will probably be up and running broadcasting only this competition's music. it is all done for community members to get as much knowledge of the competing music and countries as possible. and finally there will be a week-long poll on the main page to find out which country performed the best.
check back here frequently for more info!! also a big shout out to Romania, Canada, Greece, UK, Serbia, Turkey, France, Netherlands, Poland, Australia, Sweden and other countries not mentioned - gather up, make teams and join this compo! it's going to be alot of fun!!! and it is going to be a hard one, calling for all your skills and abilities to be presented and judged by public! all inquiries about participating or any related issues should go to slash. if you have a music-related website to advertise this competition, please do contact as well (cross-promotion available as well). so be it! and let the games begin! =)
