DJ Contest Update

Wow, 100 plays in less than a week! THANKS everybody!

This means I am officially entered in the contest. The winner will be announced in late April. In the meantime, feel free to listen (or listen again). Every play counts, even if you’ve listened already, and more plays could help my chances of winning. You don’t have to hear the whole mix to register a play; it looks like about 10 minutes will do it.

Also, if you’ve created a Mixcloud account or if you’re thinking about creating one, please consider a click on the “Favorite” button at the top of the page, just below the play button. The number of favorites may also be a factor in the selection of a winner.

You’ll find that Mixcloud has lots of gadgets for connecting with Facebook, so feel free to play around (and tell all your friends in the process)!

While you’re there, check out some of the other contest entries. All are interesting and very different takes on the idea of music for a sunshine cruise. It’s a truly global bunch – Bulgaria, Mexico, Ireland, Switzerland, Malaysia, France, UK, etc.

Here’s the link one more time.

Once again, thanks so much for participating. It’s a fun project, with or without the trip to Croatia!

New mix online!

At last, a new mix. Click the “Listen” link to the right to go to my Mixcloud page, or go directly to the mix here.

I’d like to get lots and lots of plays for this particular mix! I made it for a DJ contest. If I win, I get to DJ at a festival in Croatia in August! The winner will be chosen by Chris Coco, a British radio and club DJ with impeccable credentials and taste. His decision will be based on the contest mixes posted at Mixcloud.

However, he will only consider DJs whose mixes get 100 plays or more. So please give it a listen!

If you feel like giving Mixcloud your e-mail address, you will also be able to “favorite” the mix and “follow” me. These will also help my chances.

Lots of people will enter, some with considerable DJ experience, so my chances of winning are small. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of putting together a 30-minute mix with a summer festival in mind. I’m very happy with the mix, I hope you like it too!

If you’re curious about the details of the contest, here’s the main page.
