Re: sizzle fresh
I took part in a couple of mixits a while back. Great fun, though I was never massively into their kind of music. You're right, the atmosphere was great. It was more just "here, see what you can do with these," and you'd get a couple of readily useable samples, an amen break and an 808 kick for example, and a lot of really fucked up ones, like a Speak'n'Spell swearing or porn samples or broken synths or whatever the sample selecta had lying about his computer, and they're the ones you had to work on, and hence get creative with. Loved that it wasn't a contest, just an exercise. Contests usually just degrade into popularity contests.obce wrote:A site, http://www.em411.com, has been doing something called "mixit" for about 5 or 6 years with this concept. Everyone uploads samples, makes a track in a month, uploads their songs, and then gives feedback.
The nice thing was there was no "winner", as everyone has different tastes (although the site tended to be more experimental/idm focused). You could tell the best tracks right away though, and comment/give props accordingly.
It was more for the challenge and the learning experience, than a competition, although there was still a bit of competetiveness to it, just because you want your track to be the best one.
