just curious, even if people submit a mix and they don't win, though you like their stuff, is mp gonna sponsor like any label would....ie name followed by "MercuryPromote?"

@Kristian Littman...you upped us your mix now the 2nd time. Thanks we have received it and removed it from the upload folder to make space (as well as all the other submissions we received so far) but we have it. You could upload us a tracklist or contact info instead. :wink:

[cneill]

Ahh rats!! Wish I'd seen this earlier. The only recorded mix I have is about two years old, and not really that good. No time to do a new one before the 30th, too busy. I really should visit this site more often, not to mention record more often.

Is newness of records a factor at all in the judging?

Maybe I'll enter it anyway just for kicks

This morning I checked our FTP for new entries...please guys try to upload your mixes and:

- Make a directory with your name
- Leave your contact info
- Post a tracklist together with a style description

We received a mix where I don't even know the artist name or have a contact info...if this guy wins we can only hope he reads the announcement here and can tell by the set name that it came from him..not to talk about others claiming it was their mix..so PLEASE give us more infos about your mix instead of just dropping a mp3 with a set name on our FTP ...

@Kristian Littman whoever you are...an email addy or ms username and a tracklist would be nice.

@Dalex: you upped a 4 mb WAV file...mind to up a mp3 set with an Email addy?

@James Lauer: you upped 2 partially sets, please check your Email and upload ONE set again completely.

Thanks in advance

Just a suggestion for anyone who is finding themselves slightly going over the time limit.
Grab something like soundforge and remove a few 16/32 beat sections out of some of the longer tracks.
Some tracks you may find you can remove a whole section and still keep the flow of the mix.

If you have a problem with the ethics of post-editing a 'live' mix, record the track to your computer (if its on vinyl), create a shorter edit, burn it to cd and then mix it live

i've just been informed that Jibgolly tried to pass off the first Northern Exposure as his own mix... its sad really

since when is being perfect wrong?

Wishing the best to all competitors , have fun and work it ! Should be exciting to see what becomes of this , think it would be cool to be able to hear everyones sets regardless of winning or not just to see what people are into the different styles and all .
