VOTE DIRTY: Dirty Beatport Remix Submissions: voting period is 2nd-16th November

[reactorstudios]

I wouldn't worry to much about those guys at the very top. Quite frankly, the mixes just aren't very impressive and it is painfully obvious that they are gaming the system. ...and for a $50 top spot prize. Not worth it, really. The real prize is getting your mix in the top twenty, and heard by UW themselves. Winning the whole thing is a nice extra. Yes, a couple of dopes will steal as many as ten of the twenty spots, but that still leaves ten spots for the talent among us. I'd rather be in the talented 10 than the 'popular' ten.

That being said, please spin the hell out of my mix. Legitimate attention feels good.
I am also in this mainly for the feedback I hoped to elicit from the lot of you. It's my first completed production, after a dozen years of piddling, and I'd love to hear where you think I'd be wise to direct my attention in the future. Areas to improve?

Thanks, again.

Can you see that the remix on the top called "Nikols Mendonca Rmx" have 126 spins and only 76 plays? I do not discuss if its good or bad remix, the point is that the voters did not heard this mix!

He must have some sort of a "team" beside him...

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 ;-)

I'll second the plea for Buji. Spin it!

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).

VOTED!

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 ).
