Bedroom DJ "Contest"

[Vinyl Deficit]

Would anyone be up for this?

I use the word "contest" loosely.

[OneMasterMixer]

Sign me up, but my stuff is in the basement...lol

[S&S]

you will have to move ur equip up to the bedroom

[OneMasterMixer]

Will this be Audio and Video otherwise how will we know that they are a bedroom dj?

Seriously a Home DJ competition would be a great idea.

;)

[D J 1 3 8]

is this just posting a mix CD made at home? I don't get it.

[OneMasterMixer]

Trust the DJ...It won't fit. I have a full DJ studio with a (DJ) Altar. I couldn't fit it in there, even if I took all of the bedroom furniture out :-P

[dj-chefron]

I am a bedroom DJ and would love to participate.:biggrin:

[Pang]

is this just posting a mix CD made at home? I don't get it.

Yes . . and you got it.

[Vinyl Deficit]

To clarify...Just the folks that play at home and don't do live gigs at clubs.

['Magic' Juan]

What's the prize? New pillows?

Like I said, I use the word "contest" loosely.

[Sal Paradise]

for the certafied D list dj's
:rofl:

I say this being one of you

[D J 1 3 8]

may need some criteria to make it interesting IMO
pick records from a few labels
or one label (e.g. strictly rhythm!)
or a certain era (95-200) (2000-2008)
or something
otherwise may prove hard to judge with so many subjective variables

I will not be participating, so this is just a suggestion

Don't be discouraged and don't worry about the nay sayers. It's something that we enjoy.

I think a reasonable criteria would be just the flow of the mix. Era shouldn't be a factor. Just something that would move a dance floor OR create some emotion...regardless of your personal taste. In other words, listen with an open mind.

[Sal Paradise]

i don't get discouraged, I push on. every day. I live a pretty good life for a d list dj. it is what it is.

[Big Ken]

I would roll with it!

[soulman]

I could go for that

[dj c-los]

i got this really cool dj bedroom skill. i can DJ laying down on ym bed.

[Vinyl Deficit]

Right on...So get to work, but no rush. I know with my domestic duties, it's hard to put something together.

How about two weeks?

[blackwax]

is that so you can read the label while playing the record upside down by flipping the carts wrong way up like Ron used to do (apparently)

[AD]

Would anyone be up for this?

I use the word "contest" loosely.

I would but I suck and only have one mix that has been recorded to digital format. :shudder:

[Sal Paradise]

you going to have judges or just let people vote randomly. Will they be posted anonymously? You got to think this through a little.

[Vinyl Deficit]

I would but I suck and only have one mix that has been recorded to digital format. :shudder:
You play out though, don't you...or did?

Ya know, I've learned to not say "I suck". I'm just where I'm at with it. Just do watcha like, Albert.

I dont get it. Isn't that what the mix section is for? Since we can't get our mixes on the main page. Mix section should be called the bedroom dj section already, right?

And we need a prize...like maybe they get to play in a club,
or at least get their mix posted on DHP.

I am in daily with over 50 mixes for the judges.

50 on my podcast and 6 on Podomatic.

"I am not a recovering Digital DJ, they tried to make me go and I said "fuck recovery..no..no..no"

[Ish]

What is the threshold for club gigs? As in, I last played out almost 2 years ago, am I eligible? :acclaim:

Great idea.. Winner's mix to be posted in the DHP Member Mixes section. Let's see what the G thinks

[Vinyl Deficit]

I guess there should be an ammendment...

If you've played out because a friend gave you a chance, that doesn't count.

people are just trying to get some attention.. have a heart

[Huey P. Freeman]

people are just trying to get some attention.. have a heartAll attention ain't good attention. Instead of helping to plan a bedroom dj contest how about ya put that energy into actually getting a gig? yeesh...

[Vinyl Deficit]

I don't need any attention. I get plenty of that at home. That's why it's hard for me to record a mix. I'm not concerned with getting a gig either. If that happens in the future, koo.

I say 2 weeks from yesterday I'll put up a thread and we can post em' up.

[Vinyl Deficit]

hahahah ... you're a crack up, bro (good news coming up with that friend by the way)

Wha, huh?

I still play that night over and over in my head, eek.

[righteous knowledge]

And Thats Big Easy to you Big Ken. :tongueout: Just let me know when we need to have it posted and where. This will be my first ever mix recorded and I have some good teachers. So I'm not scared. We can do this.

what up big easy? i'll post one too fam.

[Big Easy]

Whats good Righteous. Ready to do this.

[GG_Da Harlem Spinna]

I LOVE to play in my BEDROOM. Since I'm new to the genre & craft and kinda SHY, I'd appreciate constructive FEEDBACK and perhaps some TIPS. Sounds like FUN when R you guys planning on making this happen?

[tony winter]

Sounds kool. Maybe we should reply with 30m streams. By the way how do you stream anyway?.And Armen that was the funnies giff ever!

[Vinyl Deficit]

GG, put something together and in a couple of weeks I'll start a thread.

I'm just thinking this a good idea to get some folks outa their shell and have some fun. No pressure, if that's possible :biggrin:

[righteous knowledge]

Whats good Righteous. Ready to do this.

No doubt...i'll make time to do this fam!

[V-ROD]

thanks for your help :grinyes:

[DOTSmusic]

All attention ain't good attention. Instead of helping to plan a bedroom dj contest how about ya put that energy into actually getting a gig? yeesh...

maybe some people don't feel comfortable playing out just yet. this is a good opportunity for them to gain some confidence while also maybe getting their mix heard before they decide to make that next step to play in front of an audience.

[Huey P. Freeman]

maybe some people don't feel comfortable playing out just yet. this is a good opportunity for them to gain some confidence while also maybe getting their mix heard before they decide to make that next step to play in front of an audience.Maybe they need to put on big boy underwear and just freaking do it.

[DOTSmusic]

Maybe they need to put on big boy underwear and just freaking do it.

me personally, i got myself out there within 6 months.
but this isn't about me, and i understand that
not everyone is confident enough to take the
approach i did. and i don't see anything wrong with
that.

we are who we are, but apparently for some that's not enough.

[DJ Celeste Alexander]

So its too late???? Big Easy, still has to work on his entry, will you all still consider it? Dose he need a Note or something?

To Whom it may concern,
Please excuse and still consider Mr Big Easy's submission to the Bedroom dj contest . It will be late because he was @ the WMC with his wife. His submisson should be ready soon

thank you
Celetethedj

That good enough?:conf06:

[V-ROD]

Can somebody make this official with a dedicated thread, a start date and end date, and all those who are involved with the rules of the game. BTH has disco battles all the time and has been consistant with it. Maybe look at their guidelines and see what can be done.

I didn't when this all was gonna start, what kind of music was required or where this was gonna take place. Besides, I have to scramble and make a couple of mixes!!!:scared:

[Moksha]

as somebody who has had to suffer through the judging of DJ contests before, I agree that there need to be some stricter guidelines. Otherwise everybody is just going to throw up some boring old mix they made last month and nobody listened to.

I think everybody should play the same 10 records... (most of y'all do alreay, anyway ;)) and we judge who is most creative.

Das Cold :-P

Speaking for myself and after listening to others tracks..These aren't boring mixes. Everyone (most) seem to be very skilled and as a judge it would be hard to make a decision.

I am game for the 10 same records, But then what are we going to base it on? It wouldn't be on selection. It would only be based on mixing ability and that could be identical in some cases.

I ain't hatin... the quote. BTW. :rofl: FUNNY as Hell.

JMHO:acclaim:

PS my toll is at 7215 listens of one track and 6531 on the other..lol

[Moksha]

there are an infinite number of creative things you can do with 10 records...

[OneMasterMixer]

OK then set the parameters and lets do it!!

:thumbsup:

[Vinyl Deficit]

Like I said originally, I use the word "contest" loosely.

I was just hoping to get some people that don't otherwise post mixes...post their mix.

No parameters...Just play what you're feeling at the moment you do your mix.

To tell ya the truth, I really didn't think there would be this big of a response.
