Vangelis Kostoxenakis - Zip It Remix Competition with Talk Of The Town / 15

Tekalight 2018-05-07 20:32:52 UTC #7

Yes, I really agree with @FrankyCaldera and I'm quite surprised to see so few entries here

This is a really cool track & Vangelis Kostoxenakis tutorial itself is a great course too ! There's a lot to learn in terms of structured workflow that just work as well as sound design & processing, and if you think about the time he spent on it to share his techniques & knowledge, just that deserves more entries !!

Com'on, there's still time to show some love and get involved !

Rob_Okeane 2018-05-10 22:26:28 UTC #15

Thanks mate.. my first time of trying a remix, so depending on what time I finish work tomorrow, I might give it another master or even decide to go with my first entry, if the beer monster makes me drink after work

Tekalight 2018-05-10 22:30:17 UTC #16

LOL Yeah!! You're damn right, how many Friday's evening mixes compromised by the monster already!!

Tekalight 2018-05-11 18:49:19 UTC #17

Thanks for all latest submissions !

Would be great to reach 20 & more !!

Still time to polish your mix & submit it, so If you're still crafting your perfect track, just be sure to upload before the dead line:

Rob_Okeane 2018-05-11 19:39:24 UTC #18

The beer monster was on strike for me today, so I managed to tweak my mix a little. Cheer again and good luck to everyone

Tekalight 2018-05-11 19:44:04 UTC #19

Will have a new listen then !! You'll catch that lazy monster next Friday then & you gonna tell him he owns you one for letting you down today !!

Tekalight 2018-05-11 20:02:17 UTC #20

BTW : Vangelis Kostoxenakis just posted this TOTT EP Preview on SoundCloud a few hours ago, have a listen !!

Awesome submissions, I'm impressed with the general quality! Check out my remix, the Prophile one!

VigilanteNoir9 2018-05-12 10:16:55 UTC #22

I had a very awesome remix ready to be submitted, and then I ran into some internet problems I'm panicking cause' I worked really hard on it. It says the deadline is 5/12/2018, 7 AM. I'm confused. Is there a way I can submit real quick without being completely bummed out?

VigilanteNoir9 2018-05-12 10:48:26 UTC #23

Welp, this is an extremely unfortunate, missed opportunity. Couldn't submit on time due to some completely unexpected internet connectivity issues. Sucks. Worked very hard on it. Oh well... good to luck to everyone who have submitted, some very great tracks here.

Rob_Okeane 2018-05-12 11:12:13 UTC #24

i was really content with my Mix until i heard some of the other Mixes, late last night ... Some very well produced tracks and some clever ideas.

Tekalight 2018-05-12 11:18:51 UTC #25

Hey @VigilanteNoir9

I'm very sorry to hear that you ran into such issues, unfortunately those kind of things happen, I can understand the frustration very well but the max deadline was today until 07:00 AM for BST time.

It's always good to take the upload process into account & to keep a time margin as a safety net, that's why we send reminders here or via email.

There will be much more remix competitions to come & I'm sure you'll find other great tracks to remix & the opportunity to challenge yourself again, which you already did, because even if it's sad that you couldn't submit your mix on time, you worked out your best shot and achieve to remix the track : it's already a challenge !

Behind your understandable frustration, appreciated your words, that's a very nice spirit

Don't be harsh with your work when listening to other remixes & finding them better, it's already an achievement to complete a remix & to dare sharing it with others. it's a quality to recognize other's work value while competing and by the end, you never know what's gonna happen because music is something very suggestive.

Think about the all journey : you've been following a course, you learned out of it, you challenged yourself making your own track, you dared to make your music public...It's already a lot !!
