Thanks for the feedback man appreciate the kind words on the remix and the show! As I have said already your mix shows a real capacity at production - great sound quality and some really inventive ideas add up to a great remix!!! Like I said ... you should do more stuff like this!! ;) Mine...holding on in there.. but LX Nen has deservedly hit the 50 spin mark for his remix.. fingers crossed he makes the cut!! http://www.beatportal.com/remix/deta...ack-box-remix/ |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Thanks all for the feedback, and spins, it really is much appreciated.
If you haven't spun the the other dirty mixes in the first post, please go back and give them a try. I think Buji's mix in particular is a lot lower down the ranking than it outght to be, just 2 more spins would get it on the first page, where it will be noticed a lot more. Quick link: http://www.beatportal.com/remix/detail/bird-1-buji/ As for copies being available, the competition rules say we could be kicked of the competition if we do hand them out, so you won't find many of the mixes floating around officially. I'm not sure people will be worried about this after the competition ends though ;-) |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
I'll second the plea for Buji. Spin it!

Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
BUMP!
1 week of voting left, and a lot of excellent dirtymixes are being left behind. If you havent followed the links in the first post and voted by clicking 'spin it' on these tracks, now would be a good time to do it. You'll have to spend a minute signing up before you can vote, but it's a quick and painless process. Here are the chart positions as they stand: 15th LX Nen 25th Marshall Watson (guys, this one REALLY deserves to catch up with my mix!) 26th Dunwho 27th Uncles of Wise 36th Reactorstudios 44th Unwoundfloors 47th Buji 92nd Vflow 96th Europium 96th JoeBellingham 100th Phaseblue At this stage it's all about mobilising a fan base, luckily I've had time to do that so I'm doing well for now. In the next stage, the top 10 (plus 10 chosen by beatport staff) get their mixes heard by Rick and Karl. What better way to make a dirt's day than by giving them that honour? ...and you'd also be saving R&K from sitting through some of the drivel that's currently in the top 10 (aparrently due to skill at generating e-mail accounts rather than skill at remixing). |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
VOTED!

Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
I woke up with fresh ears this morning and decided to finally check out all the dirty mixes. Man, what a ride! This collection is so diverse in mood and style, if this was released as Bird 1 (The Dirty Remixes), I'd definitely buy it, without hesitation. +1 vote for everybody.
My favourites (after first listen) are Buji, Marshall Watson, LX Nen and Europium, but everybody did an excellent job here. Seriously. Thumbs up, and best of luck for the contest to all of you. Considered what I'm hearing now while playing the current most-voted-for submissions (which is not much fun, to say the least), I sincerely hope the Beatport staff will pick a bunch of dirty mixes for the final top 20. They deserve to be heard by Underworld (and I think UW deserve to hear them, too :)). |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
It's Monday the 15th and the track at the top of the remix contest has had 351 spins and 324 listens...i mean waddafuk! More spins than listens. Go figure!
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
some of these are good, but most are garbage... i have something like 290 listens, but 43 spins... that's just weak. no matter. I have the remix and I'm happy with it.

Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
A fairly simple tweak to the voting procedures at beatport would go a long way toward eliminating some of the blatant scamming going on: Require that the registered user listen to the entire track before the Spin It! (vote) button becomes available to click. If they want to FFWD or RWD, fine, but the vote button stays 'greyed out' until they listen start to finish. If someone actually likes a mix enough to vote for it, they won't mind having to listen through the entire thing in one go.
The fact (really just my opinion) that nine of the top ten tracks are either crap, cheated their way to the top, or both, is a disappointment. That's nearly half the advancing spots going to undeserving mixes. BUT, that still leaves 10 spots for the truly great ones, which is a generous allotment in itself. Surely, the entire group of dirty-mixers won't make the cut, but I'd be stunned if there weren't a nice selection in the 10. LX Nen, among the remixes that really blew me away, yours is closest to the top, so I'm declaring you the winner! Nice work. Lollipop for you. Making my mix was a ton of fun and a tremendous learning experience (first effort with Cakewalk Sonar). Listening to everyone else's mixes was a lot of fun and a tremendous learning experience (so many good ideas to steal). I think I made it through ninety of 'em, reviewing most of the group. All of the feedback I received will help me greatly in crafting future mixes (blah blah...tremendous learning experience). Thanks to all who listened. To everyone else...you've one more day to make it count. reactor. |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Nice post dude, it's all a good learning journey. Thanks for your review of my remix I take it all on board, good or bad. Was that a TR606 drum machine on your remix?
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Jolly well done to all the quality Dirty mixes out there, a thoroughly respectable showing and yes, a shame that quite a proportion of the top ten don't appear to be 'legitimate'.
Hopefully the Beatport editorial staff will do a half decent job of finding the quality in there and give Underworld a properly representative selection to listen to (and not just the skewed top 10). Thanks for the reviews for my effort, esp. reactorstudios and LX. I've had a punt at the Devo (What We Do) contest now, I'd be grateful for some opinions (and spins!) for my entry which can be found here (it's the Uncles of Wise Blacklisted Mix): http://www.beatportal.com/remix/deta...acklisted-mix/ Good luck all the Devo entrants! (New thread for Devo Dirty mixes perhaps?) ttfn, Mr Tim Uncles of Wise. |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
europium, most of the percussion is a 909 mangled by the PX64 Percussion Strip in Sonar. The kick is Frankenstein.
I missed out on pulling a Devo remix together, so I'll have to catch the next competition. Let's definitely get a thread started for the two Devo mixes, though, as I will certainly be following along and would love to know which tracks are attributable to dirties. reactor. |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Hi guys,
Just a quick thanks to anyone who gave me some spins/comments, really appreciated. Also well impressed with a lot of these dirty mixes, really hoping some of us get heard by Underworld as that's the best part of the prize, surely! All the best fellow dirts. Jez. :) |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Can someone more familiar w/ Beatport give us a rundown on how these contests usually play out? How long does it usually take for the finalists/winners to be announced?
Definitely have my fingers crossed for a few of the excellent Dirty remixes to make the cut! |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Well, this is my first one, but there's an update from Beatport on the rules page...
"Update: Due to an overwhelming amount of entries we have postponed our winner announcement to December 6th, 2010. Stay tuned for the lucky winner." The other competitions seem to have their lists of finalists released anywhere from a week before the winner is announced to a week after. |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Beatport have just made some... ahem... 'adjustments' to the spin counts, and things are looking a lot more honest now. The worst offenders lost over 300 spins.
No official word on the official top 10 yet (or the additional 10 picked by staff to be judged), but from a poke around the google cache of the now deleted voting page, and a bit of cross-referencing, I *think* only 3 of the original top 10 are still there after the recount. It looks to me like we actually have 3 dirts into round 2 by right, instead of none before. By my reconing, I'm 4th, joined in the top 10 by Marshall Watson in 7th, and the Uncles of Wise in 10th, with Dunwho just 1 vote behind in joint 11th (so if any dirts reading this didn't vote, kick yourselves now!). |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
That is good news!
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Excellent.
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
thanks dude.
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
A very welcome development, that (I think) gives a lot more meaning to the results.
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November

|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Good times...
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Indeed - congratulations to the winner, a certain Mr Marshall Watson!
The two runners up are Konstantinos Souvatzoglou and Eisenhardt. |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Congratulations, indeed, to Marshall.
A dirtymix won!!!!! |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
awesome job marshall...
and congratulations to all.. now to go back, and try to sort out the other interesting mixes...anyone up for it? later -1 |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
thanks Dirties! You guys gave a ton of support, and I really appreciate everyone who took the time to register and vote, or to even listen to the dang thing. It's been a pretty surreal week.
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Congratulations Marshall, and all – some amazing mixes from the Dirty sector! (Though Professor, has Underworld really "never failed to disappoint" you? :D)
I'm assuming the winning mixes are locked up for potential B-side release, but anyone else making theirs available now that the contest's over? |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
@lowbit... yes. UW have never disappointed me. Shit. I just got what you are saying... well, that sucks. Misquote or me miss-writing.... oh well.
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
That's why I'm not a writer.... I sent them an email...hopefully they'll change it.
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Well, whether they change it or not I think we get the gist of what you were trying to say, and the important thing is that an excellent Dirt-authored mix won! :)
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Wow just seen the result!
Congratulations to Marshall, an excellent mix with a nice atmosphere that always sets the mood when I play it, fully deserved. Great work by all Dirts too, I agree it would be nice to get some downloads of the other mixes! :) |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
thanks man!
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
wow! this is great news! grats MW!
|
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
well done and well deserved!
So... now you have 2 Maschines?;) |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
KOS~ yup. Will have two of them once they come in. Ironically, OM records is right around the corner from the studio where I work, so my boss and I just walked over and picked up the monitors last week. Everything else is coming in the mail. I'll have one Maschine that stays in the home studio, and I'll probably use one for the road, or bring it down to work to use for beat stuffs there.
Off topic--I listened to your track for the dirty comp... nice one as usual. When are you going to start releasing these and get serious? :) |
Re: VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November
Congratulations Professor, and well deserved ... excellent mix .. I actually prefer yours to any of the mixes on the promo CDs :)
