Beatport supplies some of the parts. You cant make a good car with faulty parts. It wont be approved by the car testing authorities. Oh well. Maybe my 10 years in the music biz and putting on a few remix contests didn learn me a thing, and Jon will revolutionize the remix concept by offering artists "great" MP3 files hereafter :-) Greetings from Glenn Folkvord Chief editor ============================== My response: Glenn, There is nothing faulty about using high quality mp3 files for a remix contest. The Soul On Ice Remix Contest proved that. It was a huge success and delivered over 300 remixes. Many of which I still listen to and enjoy today. The following quote was taken directly from the contest rules of one of the Beatport remix contests. "The contest is being judged on originality of remix, not sound quality. You do not need to download the WAV files to enter the remix contest, unless of course you want to. If your remix is chosen as a winner, there will be time to have your tracks mastered to highest quality. " . You also mentioned: "Jon will revolutionize the remix concept by offering artists "great" MP3 files hereafter." I don't run remix contests I leave it to the professionals like Beatport, Yello, Depeche Mode, The Black Eyed Peas, Danny Tanaglia, Paul Van Dyke. These people all have strong reputations. I know them and I'm pretty sure they know a little bit more about the music business then you or I. btw: Steering was put on a car to give it the ability to turn right or left. Even when you are going straight down the road you are actually making tiny right and left steering adjustments to keep the car going straight. Before wheeled vehicles had steering they only went straight. So if your steering wheel turns all the way to the left and all the way to the right there is nothing wrong with the steering. :-) , Jonathan :-)

If the car also steers to the right there is nothing wrong with the steering. :) But it does look like you are starting to understand what a remix contest is all about. It is like each contestant is building their own car. Beatport supplies some of the parts. Each car design will be different. So each designer will have to modify the parts accordingly. The Soul On Ice remix contest produced slow songs, fast songs, different rhythms, different tempos, different genres. There were Country versions, Rap versions, Ambient versions, Rock versions, Dance versions. You name it. Each version needed to be modified in it's own unique way. , Jonathan

Touch Yello 8-Track Album-Preview (Promo)

Yello sells music. That is their product. That is their property. Every person who downloads these free tracks without YELLO's permission or without paying for them is stealing. Each sale is Yello's property. You take that away from them you are stealing. My argument is based on facts. The definition of the word backs me up. The only thing backing you up is your opinion. Until you can bring some facts to the table I see no point in continuing.

Do you hear babies crying? The idea of a remix contest is to find the most creative, most talented DJ. They are looking for a DJ that can take any chunk of audio and edit it into a working loop or audio file and create an outstanding mix. If they gave us pre-edited loops and samples that anyone could drop into GarageBand they would have everyone and their brother entering the contest. They are "weeding out the chaff". They want serious DJs. All the files for the Soul On Ice Remix Contest were in rough cut .mp3 format and that contest delivered some amazing mixes. Many of which I still listen to today. 320kbs mp3 files are by no means "unusable". You are going to see some amazing remixes made in this contest and we are going to see DJs that work magic with these mp3 files. So anyone entering better be willing to get creative, work hard and bring their "A" game. Good luck to all of you, Jonathan

Great track! Lots of Yello sounds and pieces from Yello Lyrics. Nice that he still keeps a connection to Yello. Check out the track "Carried To Excess" he did with Boris Black (not Blank) He uses the line "You will find excess in the jungle" over and over. Another great track by Carlos.

Remix of Touch Yello Tracks

Hi all, I heard that Spencer and Hill were going to remix a song off of the new Touch Yello release - The Expert, I think....but until now, have seen nor heard nothing The only Remix I have heard is the Turntable Rockers take on Part Love.....which was OK, but you could hardly recognize any of the really nice parts of that song in it - just some of the lyrics in the background. My favorite so far to come out recently has been the *Remix of Tiger Dust*......wow! What an awesome remix....done of course by Yello, who can remix their songs PERFECTLY. But still, I'd like to hear Spencer and Hill's remix version, as well as any other big DJ or group remix.....! Does anyone know of any other names attached to doing remixes of the new *Touch Yello* release?? Daniel
