Painting stories in the air, Cycleburner's big chevy is an atmospheric Breaks track ready to get you up and grooving. Fancy a trip? About the contest Personal note to everyone from Cycleburner: Quote: ‘Little Boy’s Big Chevy’ is a track that I’ve produced in 2006 and it has since then always been a favorite of mine (not because of the production qualities but more for the characteristic feel it has). The original is an atmospheric Breaks track (featured on my ‘Departures EP’ which was released on www.beatsfactory.com). I picked this track to be remixed because it contains a lot of different sounds which makes it possible to remix it in various genres, and I am very curious what people can do with it. I am hoping to hear remixes which still have a clear relation to the original, while exploring new directions too and which give the original a more ‘now’ sound. I enjoy listening to many genres so surprise me by transforming it into the style your most comfortable working in. I like tracks that either intrigue me and make me think, surprise me by their originality or have me go ‘YEAH!’ on the dance floor – I am a sucker for nasty bass lines and atmospheric ‘visual’ tunes. The original was sequenced at 125 bpm – but since I produce in Ableton Live, this doesn’t mean the samples are too - the sample range goes from 90 to 140 bpm, which I believe shouldn’t be a problem for the talented remixers here I hope you enjoy working with the sounds, and that they inspire the remixers to come up with quality tunes!

Then under the "Summary" tab click on "Advanced" (if "Simple" is activated) and edit the fields. [size=7]Judging template:[/size] - Production Quality: --/10 The overall production quality of the mix. - Originality: --/10 How well the song exhibits a new structure within the same genre or how effective is the jump to a different genre and how well the new structure supports it. New sounds used, chopping, better/unique sequencing etc. - Relation with the original: --/10 Despite all differences, how well the remix holds on and slutes the original feel/emotion/vibe etc. Content connection to be taken into account as well. - Overall mix: --/10 All concerns regarding a remix being over repetitious and/or lacking in appeal go here. If a remix is unappealing, this parameter gets lower values. However, since the appeal on any song is subjective, do not be biased by a "first impression". In case you find a mix to be very appealing, you are encouraged to give a good score. If not, in specific cases, it is suggested to borrow a helping hand from logic and try and work out a decent score depending upon the new genre. Ofcourse, most importantly, the structure of the remix counts. - Optional parameter(s) to be mentioned by the judge(s): --/10 (each parameter) Judge(s) are advised to limit this optional parameter to 1 as it lowers any chances of confusion later on. If you feel inclined to add more, no one is stopping you but owing to a common perspective, 1 added parameter should be enough as the most important ones have already been mentioned. DO NOT use fractional scores using this system. It was made to eliminate such ambiguities. Use full integral scores only.
