ULTIMATE LOW-BITRATE MP3 SOFTWARE DANCE MIX BATTLE 2006
Correct! It's finally out. This is an official battle with Jeff of 506, whose non-dancin non-mixin ninja tune ass I am about to whomp. This is the shit you've been waiting to ride to all along.
How this was made:
1. Take mp3s
2. Drag them into Ableton Live
3. I guess drag them to the right place so that they kind of make sense
4. Because you're too lazy to assign a fader, draw a fade envelope between tracks
5. Record the whole thing and smoke a blunt
The only actual work/beat-matching I did was record a weird Ladytron remix off a record because it was hard to download.
Here's a tracklist:
1. The Knife – You take my breath away (mylo mix)
You Take My Breath Away [Rabid ‘05]
2. Metro Area – Pina (SWAG’s Mas Jugo Dub)
Pina 12”[Classic ‘01]
3. Loose joints – Is it all over my face? (Larry Levan mix)
The World of Arthur Russell [Soul Jazz ‘04]
4. ESG – Moody
A South Bronx Story [Universal Sound ‘00]
5. The Juan Maclean – Crush the Liberation
Less Than Human [DFA ‘05]
6. Chicken lips – You’re Not Ready Yet
Echoman [Kingsize ‘00]
7. Isolee – Enrico
We Are Monster [Playhouse ‘05]
8. Boy Robot – Super Scorer
Rotten Cocktails [CCO 2005]
9. Chloe – I hate dancing
French Girls [Wagram ‘02]
10. Console – Dirt on a Wire
Reset the Preset [Virgin ‘02]
11. Swayzak – My Way
Loops From the Bergerie [Studio !K7 ‘04]
12. Apparat – Contradiction [L’usine Mix]
Duplex Remixes 12” [Shitkatapult ‘04]
13. Autechre – Rotar
Tri Repetae [Warp ‘95]
14. Lippok & Morgenstern – Please Wake Me For Meals
Tesri [Monika ‘05]
15. Ladytron – Sugar (Trevor Jackson vocal mix)
Sugar promo 12” [Universal Island ‘05]
16. Claro Intelecto – Contact
Neurofibro CD [Ai ‘04]
17. Kraftwerk – The Robots
Rough Trade Shops Electronic 01 [Mute ‘02]
18. Bangkok Impact – Aus Birgittes Tagebuch
Holland Ferox [Crème ‘03]
19. Midi Rain – Always (J. Saul Kane Vocal Club Mix)
Ellen Allien - My Parade [BPC ‘04]
Some of them are kind of mashed up and I play through all of Rotar because I love that shit.
Because this is a dead-serious battle, Jeff and I came up with a grading scheme, out of 100%:
1. Danceable/25
2. Not famous (15 for ‘perceived underground’+ 10x(unknown)/(total), need to know BEDMAS for this)
3. Creativity (different artists/labels/eras)/25
4. Overall (How much do you like listening to it?)/25
Vote on either blog, they will be pooled. Don't vote twice (I don't imagine anyone cares that much).
SO:
Proceed to ULTIMATE LOW BITRATE MP3 SOFTWARE DANCE MIX 2006.MP3 (mine)
and to PERFECTAGONISM.mp3 (Jeff's; fresh links on his blog if that fails)

Stan,
1. !25! Very good. I only recognized a few riffs.
2. This mark is wierd to begin with. so why not, 25.
3. Very coherent. Clean. NEAt. It was a roll call to the funk of the past and the new of today. It picked up. was clean. BUT. I am a dirtier person. Alas...20.
4. please nigga please. 25
WITH FLATTERY COMES NO MERCY
Points for not using yousendit
Will conduct double blind later
-mikeg
not fair.
I can hardly afford to live in my apartment much less pay for web space.
What's wrong with yousendit?
i guess i could drop out of school and move back to waterloo... Things would surely be cheaper then.
You had better get people to start scoring because right now i am in the lead.
Stans Score:
1. Pretty even, I don't dance so hard to say , it did slow down in the last half, 22.
2. Not a scenester so not sure, only knew a few of the names songs. 23.
3. Good mix of shit, but not too many original mixes, sweet beat matching. Simplicity is good. 23.
4. I did listen to it more then once, found myself doing other things and not paying much attention. Come back for the Arthur russel and Kraftwerk. 22.
Umm and 5 bonus points for robotic content.
Total 90 (+ 5 bonus points) = 95.
I really just picked numbers, don't take this shit too serious.
