MarsKid: Build-an-Album II, R1(P1): Break it Down for Me

MarsKid 07.03.22	Let's get this party started already! After my thorough (read: I checked Wikipedia) investigation into Breaks, it seemed as though it and Breakbeat were the same thing? Maybe I'm off base on that, but I'll be accepting both tags for the sake of simplicity. Deadline will be set for this upcoming Friday! You may still submit on Saturday or Sunday, but bear in mind that I will be commencing the judgement process at that time. If you have any questions, shoot 'em my way!
Pangea 07.03.22	oh fuck this is not an easy one to start with
MarsKid 07.03.22	Local Sinternet Likely in Great Mood
Sinternet 07.03.22	ooh good start is breakcore counting for this?
JohnnyoftheWell 07.03.22	Will fill this out and albumify it in the soon, probably a top 15 genre Special rule should be that everyone has to get a club-ready breakcore track in somehow
MarsKid 07.03.22	I'll likely allow a fair few things adjacent to breakbeat seeing as it's an umbrella for a variety of genres that use similar techniques/styles. All I ask, as is normally the case with more vague genres, is that you stay reasonably within its boundaries.
MarsKid 07.03.22	@Johnny the first round is usually an easier one so that everyone can get themselves acclimated with the game. But it will get progressively more annoying as we continue, I can promise you that. You also don't NEED to claim yet. The "point of no return" rules aren't in effect yet. While I discourage people using tracks that are already being used, it's not against the rules at this present time.
Pangea 07.03.22	i do own a fatboy slim album so put that one right now haha
tyman128 07.03.22	Steak got it easy for this round
MarsKid 07.03.22	The genre wheel giveth and the genre wheel taketh. Slight spoiler: it's got a bit over 100 genres this time. This includes the upcoming new tags for the site, a handful of suggestions from other users, and some of my own personal inclusions.
Pangea 07.03.22	I know this genre was pretty big for many in their teen years but not for me unfortunately. i'll have to do some research this week
SlothcoreSam 07.03.22	This is gonna breaks me. I did listen to a lot of mid to late 90s Electronica, will have to start digging through the archive.
JohnnyoftheWell 07.03.22	Steak's breaks are hard gamercore, gonna be interesting to see how he dices this And okay cool, so overlap with other albums is good gravy?
MarsKid 07.03.22	Neek nearly won the OG contest by Googling. He was one of the best at grind despite not knowing squat about it. Even when the wheel doesn't play to your strengths, you can always find a way!
MarsKid 07.03.22	"And okay cool, so overlap with other albums is good gravy?" For now, yes. Once we get further in, this will no longer be the case.
Pangea 07.03.22	I am somewhat familar with some based on the sput chart so i'll use them as a base
JohnnyoftheWell 07.03.22	Also what format do we submit in?
MarsKid 07.03.22	Yes, I wanted to mention that! You are free to either make your own playlist and submit it, or just give me the tracks and I will compile it myself. I know that some things aren't on Spotify and are instead on YouTube, so I'll use whatever format (YT or Spotify playlist) that best suits the tracks you gather.
Cimnele 07.03.22	ohhh now i get it. giggle. i honestly thought this was a making music contest and I didn't read a single thing to prepare i know a lot of breakcore or jungle adjacent tracker music i will construct a tracklist
tyman128 07.03.22	this is gonna be a research grind for me
MarsKid 07.03.22	Y'all got until Friday! So don't feel pressured to have it all down today.
JohnnyoftheWell 07.03.22	" I'll use whatever format (YT or Spotify playlist) that best suits the tracks you gather." Perf < 3 there's a couple of things I have in mind that might have to be timestamped within a Big Video, is this OK?
MarsKid 07.03.22	Hmm interesting concept, hasn't been done before. I don't think there's a problem with it if you want to give it a whirl!
neekafat 07.03.22	well, im fucked
MarsKid 07.03.22	Keep in mind that nobody is eliminated until Round 5! Plenty of time to gather points.
Uzumaki 07.03.22	Commenting so I remember to come back to this!
MarsKid 07.03.22	Commenting so I remember to come back to this too! Wait...
Storm In A Teacup 07.03.22	Got my first song and working on more. Fun!
bgillesp 07.03.22	Hoo boy starting off hot with the genre I’ve listened to for a total of maybe an hour in my life. Guess that’ll double soon
Storm In A Teacup 07.03.22	RIP to those at first thinking the crystal method would be giving them the upper hand.... Aka RIP me...
Storm In A Teacup 07.03.22	Can't You Trip Like I Do by Filter and Crystal Method is fun.
bgillesp 07.03.22	I’ve researched 10 bands ignoring the dumb rule, but just remembered it. Let’s see how many I have to ditch
bgillesp 07.03.22	Only lost 2, Xanopticon and Machine Girl
MarsKid 07.03.22	Don't worry y'all, next round is field noises. Theme is birds. Birds are required. Dumb rule is birds. You've been warned.
Slex 07.03.22	Lesgooo
bgillesp 07.04.22	Birds aren’t real how can that be possible?!?!?
JohnnyoftheWell 07.04.22	Xanopticon is way OP for this contest
bgillesp 07.04.22	This is probably explained elsewhere but as I haven’t seen it yet, what are the rules on if someone picks a song or artist, can others still use the song or other songs from the same artist?
bgillesp 07.04.22	Got my preliminary build done. Made a few more swaps for Spotify availability. Have a track order that I think works well but I’ll give it a full listen before I submit this time
MarsKid 07.04.22	@bg everything is fair game for now. It will become more strict later on in the game.
bgillesp 07.04.22	Cool! Stayed awake through half my album last night and was loving it, so I’ll check the rest now and maybe make 1 track order adjustment
MarsKid 07.04.22	Bg already on a roll over here! You love to see it.
bgillesp 07.04.22	https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1eu2If2HA2BJUuaZoUQ915?si=65RLGd11QFqW5ERh3YetxA Okay here it is! Do I need to type it up or is the playlist link fine?
MarsKid 07.04.22	I can format myself! You typing it up just saves some seconds, but it's no big deal. Now would be a good time A NOTE FOR EVERYONE: If you submit something and realize that, for whatever reason, you want/need something changed, you can do so. Submissions only become locked in starting Saturday, at which point they are set in stone.
bgillesp 07.04.22	Okay I’ll do that then when I get on my computer.
MarsKid 07.04.22	I'm too quick for you, sir.
bgillesp 07.04.22	Well thanks. I really enjoy the track ordering part of this, trying to find smooth or interesting transitions and an overall good album flow. I picked my ten songs with a little of that in mind, but then ordering them became a fun exercise. Had to make one final swap for Orbital because I couldn’t get a Skee Mask song I found to fit anywhere
MarsKid 07.04.22	Lot of breakbeat artists are kicking around in Britain, it seems.
Mort. 07.04.22	yes pls i will take the open spot good sir
Mort. 07.04.22	and yes its a pretty popular genre over here, go into a record store youre very likely to see a Breaks/Wonk section (or some other dumb name)
MarsKid 07.04.22	Neek unfortunately has a lot of commitments and won't be able to join this time. Please welcome to the madness user Mort! The slot is yours.
SlothcoreSam 07.04.22	Done. I will write up a playlist description once my lil one settles down, he is all pumped up by the dance music and wont stop moving! he's only 5 months old. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BePAHSomI8v4xbe7jw9eX?si=2f1ecea6369e4bfd Do you have the setting on your Spotify to bleed the songs into the next?
Mort. 07.04.22	i havent seen any rule about putting in tracks that other people have also included. is that a big no no or just something to try and avoid but no biggy if so?
Mort. 07.04.22	also breakbeat is so nebulous and less of a genre and more of a component so i hope you dont mind all the big beat stuff people will be putting in
MarsKid 07.04.22	Yeah, I've answered this a few times. It is okay to do so FOR NOW. But things get more strict as things go along. @Slothcore I don't think I do, but I don't think I've ever felt things get jarring on Spotify.
MarsKid 07.04.22	As for the genre, yeah it seemed pretty open. I'm gonna be pretty forgiving, as I normally try to do for very vague categories. Our next one will be a bit more specific, hopefully. Haven't spun yet.
SlothcoreSam 07.04.22	There are a couple of tracks of mine where I wish I could cull 20 seconds at the end. And sorry bgillesp, I just realised I have one of the same songs as you, I have to keep it though.
MarsKid 07.04.22	Repeat songs are fine for now!
SlothcoreSam 07.04.22	Sloth's album 1. Stop The Rock- Apollo 440 Mix- Apollo 440 (UK) 2. No Good (Start the Dance)- The Prodigy (UK) 3.

Miss Trouble (UK) 10. Dust Me Selecta- Gerling (AUS) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BePAHSomI8v4xbe7jw9eX?si=dfdd87951cd44c32
Mort. 07.04.22	cool cool good to know. also whats the rule about the playlists, do they have to be through spotify? or if a specific track isnt on spotify can i include that even if the rest is? (coild get confusing if like one track is only on youtube but the rest is on spotify, dont really want the playlist to get fragmented)
MarsKid 07.04.22	I prefer them consolidated on one platform, either YT or Spotify. Just makes things easier to listen to.
SteakByrnes 07.04.22	I have been breakspilled for like 7 months now so good start for me lol
SteakByrnes 07.04.22	dammit bg used chao dialysis lmao
Mort. 07.04.22	1. Special Request - Make It Real 2. Interplanetary Criminal - Crazy (Manchester Crew) 3. Soul Mass Transit System and Killa P - Blocked 4. The Prodigy - Spitfire 5.

SlothcoreSam 07.04.22	I hope all you fuckers don't mind me following you on Spotify.
Mort. 07.04.22	nope not at all. will be checking out other peoples playlists when i get the chance. this has made me realise how much i sort of love breakbeat/core just a shame i couldnt put any machine girl on the album due to the whole no americans rule
MarsKid 07.04.22	Oh if THAT'S inconvenient, you ain't seen nothing yet honey. Friendly reminder that subs are expected Friday so y'all got plenty of time to think! Although I'll start earlier if you are quick enough...
JohnnyoftheWell 07.05.22	no americans rule was much more of a fucker than i thought it'd be :[ can survive without the chunks it took out of breakcore/adjacent digihardcore, but damn RIP to my trance/breaks mellow shoe-ins
SteakByrnes 07.05.22	ya no US artists has really dented my options lol
SlothcoreSam 07.05.22	If the rule was no UK artists, it would have been even harder.
MarsKid 07.05.22	Oh shit, I forgot. No British artists either! No one from Europe at all, really. Or Australia. Or Asia. Nope, South America is out. So is the rest of North America. That's a negative for Africa. I only want to see Antarctican breakbeat artists please.
JohnnyoftheWell 07.05.22	might revise this, but: 1. The Prodigy - Voodoo People 2. Dream Dolphin - Bloody (The First and Final War)* 3. The Chemical Brothers - Piku 4. Hybrid - Dreaming Your Dreams 5. Atari Teenage Riot - Sex 6. Yune Pinku - Bluff 7. Xploding Plastix - Treat Me Mean, I Need the Reputation 8. Skee Mask - Testo BC Mashup** 9. Dai Dai Dai - LASE 10.

MarsKid 07.05.22	Did you miss where I said Antarctica only
MarsKid 07.05.22	OK in all seriousness I will edit all your new albums in. Keep me in the loop for any edits y'all make.
SlothcoreSam 07.05.22	Nice skinhead Johnny
JohnnyoftheWell 07.05.22	paha ty. time to bring er back for summer.
Mort. 07.05.22	i was gonna put a skee mask track in but it wasnt on spotify so i didnt just to be nice to you mars bro give johnny less points for not caring about your time
JohnnyoftheWell 07.05.22	the version of sweet harmony in my lib is 15 mins long with a bonus track, and i am gonna decide that the spotify ver is certainly the same, so give mort even fewer points for caring even less damnbam
SteakByrnes 07.05.22	I think I have my 10, just gonna put them together in an order I like and then submit
tyman128 07.05.22	my breakbeat deep dive starts today, this is gonna be hell
SteakByrnes 07.05.22	Okay here we go: 1. bye2 - (Intro) Glue World (UK) 2. Goreshit, Hitori Tori - ligwiybd (UK) 3. Kaizo Slumber - Glassy Twins (Libya) 4. Glowstyx - Bunny (Netherlands) 5.

MarsKid 07.05.22	List should be current.
SlothcoreSam 07.05.22	Just informing you now, that my 8th track's original version is not breakbeat, but this remix is, I hope that's OK.
MarsKid 07.05.22	So long as the song you're using abides by the rules, it's fine if it's a remix.
rockarollacola 07.05.22	I don't think I've ever listened to breakbeat before. RIP me
Cimnele 07.05.22	ah, sorry, I gotta step out of this one, I misunderstood what the contest was and am about to get really busy with projects of my own. sorry if I wasted anyone's time
MarsKid 07.05.22	It's OK! Real life is the priority. Hopefully you can swing by and join us next time.
Mort. 07.05.22	woops mars i just realised the last two tracks are ordered wrong on my playlist. should be zomby then liquid. have changed the spotify playlist to correct it
SteakByrnes 07.05.22	Zomby is cool good choice user mort
MarsKid 07.05.22	Edited it, and looks like it's good on the playlist too.
MarsKid 07.05.22	Please welcome to the competition Shemson!
Shemson 07.05.22	Haha I should’ve read the first round before eagerly signing up! Breakbeat is gonna take some research, excited to dive in! You want the playlists in by end of week yeah?
MarsKid 07.05.22	Friday is the preferred due date since I typically start judging the albums on Saturday/Sunday. I will still accept submissions at that time, but it is unlikely you'll be able to make changes if you end up needing to make any.
SteakByrnes 07.05.22	shemson is a pal
Shemson 07.05.22	Sweet, no drama, I got some jamming to do Should be fun now I have some kind of understanding what breakbeat means and that dnb, garage and dubstep are variants - uk vibes inbound
JohnnyoftheWell 07.05.22	who is shemson O IT'S SHEMSON!!
Shemson 07.05.22	Well shit thanks for the friendly welcome I look forward to this descending into competitive shit talking soon
Mort. 07.05.22	'Zomby is cool good choice user mort' zomby is very cool indeed
MarsKid 07.05.22	The first round is all fun and games. I will make life progressively more difficult later on, purely for my own amusement.
rockarollacola 07.05.22	Ayyy, since that guy backed out that means I won't be the first contestant eliminated. Nice.
MarsKid 07.05.22	Both people who backed out are replaced! You can't get off the hook that easily. Plus, nobody is eliminated until round 5! Start getting those points, bucko. Next round could be good for you! Maybe I will spin right now, and see...
DavidYowi 07.05.22	I hope an Apple Music link is okay, some of these songs aren't on Spotify. This gave me a lot of recs I probably wouldn't've checked out if not for compiling this playlist https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/breaks-2/pl.u-b3b8MK3iyxNrd0B
MarsKid 07.05.22	I do not have Apple Music sir, does this mean I get ads if I play it
DavidYowi 07.05.22	i think so yes
MarsKid 07.05.22	The question therefore is not IF you lose points, but how many. (Can it not be available on YouTube?)
DavidYowi 07.05.22	I can do a YT playlist
MarsKid 07.05.22	If it's not too much trouble! I have Spotify Premium and an ad block, so I can listen to albums on YT and/or Spotify without the Immersion being broken.
DavidYowi 07.05.22	1. Hybrid - Beachcoma (UK) 2. Kaizo Slumber - Human, A Cosmic Horror (Libya) 3. A Guy Called Gerald - The Track (UK) 4. Meat Beat Manifesto - Asbestos Lead Asbestos (UK) 5.

MarsKid 07.05.22	Appreciate it!

MarsKid 07.05.22	I see it. The fuck you want me to do with it, eh? (Fixing shortly)
SlothcoreSam 07.05.22	Copy and paste, easy fix, lol. Plus listen to the band I axed. Nasenbluten, for some face melting hardcore Techno, it's fucked but good.
MarsKid 07.05.22	Depending on how this round goes, I might be saving some of these artists for later. I've never been too big into electronic-centric music but am always looking for ways to expand my views.
SlothcoreSam 07.05.22	Fuck it, invite all your friends over bust out the mollys, get out the glow sticks and pump that bass. You've just got yourself 150 rave anthems for a weekend doof
MarsKid 07.05.22	1. I am not Doof 2. You are assuming I have a social life
Storm In A Teacup 07.05.22	3 songs so far, hoping to double that by end of tonight. I assume i still have 48ish hours to submit?
MarsKid 07.05.22	Songs are encouraged to be done/probably should be due Friday. Which means you must submit them now under penalty of death.
SlothcoreSam 07.05.22	doof (countable and uncountable, plural doofs) (Australia, slang, uncountable) A type of music with pronounced bass, typically associated with the modified car scene. (Australia) An outdoor dance party, held in bushland in a remote area or on the outskirts of a city.
MarsKid 07.06.22	I feel like I am now infinitely more worldly now.
Mort. 07.06.22	so far it looks like youre gonna end up well acquainted with the prodigy
MarsKid 07.06.22	We shall all be living off the fat of the land.
Shemson 07.06.22	I’ve taken your Saturday night vibes very seriously and tried to keep it as close as possible to a night out in my town where you have some party music for the pre drinks then it’s pretty mainstream but dance-y and then you go to a dodgy place where they play stuff to freak people out a bit and then you go home and put on some Radiohead for the comedown Enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3BLuEuBCqmwDfMDOudabOS?si=0kBxgy_URA63E-6FQ4p6Ow 1. Pendulum - Propane Nightmares 2. Prodigy - Omen 3. Chase and Status, Plan B - End Credits 4. Utah Saints - Something Good ‘08 Radio edit 5. DJ Fresh, Shy FX - Gold Dust Shy FX re-edit 6. Basement Jaxx - Where’s Your Head At 7. Calvin Harris, Doorly - I’m Not Alone Doorly Remix 8. Justice - Genesis 9. Aphex Twin - Windowlicker 10. Radiohead - Idioteque
Shemson 07.06.22	I’ve also shown my age there because all this night out music is 10+ years old 🤣
MarsKid 07.06.22	Hmm a bit of a concept to this one. I like it!
MarsKid 07.06.22	The Utah Saints are not from Utah. Imagine that.
Shemson 07.06.22	Haha I 100% double checked before submitting
MarsKid 07.06.22	I assumed so! But it's an interesting name choice for an English duo. "In looking for a name, Garbutt and Willis were looking for something that was not used before and didn't come along with any preconceived notions of what a band with the name would be like. They also wanted something that would look good on a T-shirt and stage backdrop, and “Utah Saints” fit the bill on all accounts." Fair play, gents.
Pangea 07.06.22	Okay this is what i have right now 1. Meat Beat Manifesto - Hello Teenage America 2. The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl 3. Cut la Roc - Bassheads 4. Leftfield - Afrika Shox 5. Hardknox - Psychopath 6. Daft Punk - Da Funk 7. Evil Nine - Restless 8. Moby - Bodyrock 9. The Prodigy - Climbatize 10. Fatboy Slim - Retox https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4N9Dtt8qWLFWCwBP3VRwir?si=b035679084b54e50
MarsKid 07.06.22	Eight submissions so far! It's Wednesday, but time is tickin' my friends. Be on the lookout! I might start setting up for the next round tonight and see how doomed the next genre will make you.
Mort. 07.06.22	its gonna be intersting seeing the difference in what we all conceive a saturday night out/rave music to be. honestly i found the problem of trying to sequence the songs as if it was for a night out the hardest part. djs have a difficult job apparently
MarsKid 07.06.22	This round has been harder than I thought. Maybe I'll go easy on y'all next round! ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAno
Shemson 07.06.22	You’ve got the biggest job Mars mate! 150 tracks to smash through!
MarsKid 07.06.22	I'm just built different
JohnnyoftheWell 07.06.22	"its gonna be intersting seeing the difference in what we all conceive a saturday night out/rave music to be." fr. gave up trying to do a cohesive one-night mix 3 songs in and turned it into every night also hate to be that guy, but this is the first time i've seen Windowlicker lumped in with breaks, and i suspect it may well be the last
Mort. 07.06.22	yes i was gonna be that guy but decided not to, partly because i just expected 'breaks' to lead to some 'interesting' choices. and yeah mine very vaguely is supposed to have some rises and falls and end on a high note but uhhh i dont really go clubbing or raving so fuck knows how successful that was. i dont know what or how people listen to shit
MarsKid 07.06.22	I spent some years going to one of the biggest party colleges in the U.S., my experience is more vast than you may expect.
bgillesp 07.06.22	I have never been to a club or rave so I just tried to make a good breaks album
bgillesp 07.06.22	My Saturday night vision is much more chill than a rave because I’m pretty asocial so hopefully that still works
Shemson 07.06.22	Haha yeah Windowlicker is supposed to fit into that messy part of the night you don’t really remember the next day and it fit the loose definition I read on google 🤣 What you saying Mars? Does it jive or should I switch it out?
MarsKid 07.06.22	Well I haven't listened yet, so you have no idea how I would feel. Is that the risk you take? Or do you give in to peer pressure? I am impartial to your conundrum.
rockarollacola 07.07.22	I am having an extremely hard time with this. I seriously can't tell if the stuff I'm listening to would be considered good or bad, because literally everything sounds the sound to me.
Shemson 07.07.22	I reckon you’ve had nights descend into glorious chaos so I’m keeping it - so with me as you will!
SlothcoreSam 07.07.22	I compiled my playlist of songs I've heard at festivals, except 2, and found myself actually dancing to, I don't dance. Most are from 90s or early 00s, just shows my age.
Shemson 07.07.22	I was exactly the same mate, feeling like Pendulum were some youthful up and comers 🤣
MarsKid 07.07.22	Happy Thursday! The wheel has chosen your next genre. Will it be better for you? Probably not... Make sure to get those submissions ready!
Shemson 07.07.22	Looking forward to the next one! Hoping it’s something I actually know something about this time so I don’t have to try to shoehorn things I like that might count instead 🤣
MarsKid 07.07.22	You will have to wait and find out...
Uzumaki 07.07.22	Will be running thru my choices for best cohesion, but I’ve gotta submit them because I’ll be gone all weekend.
SteakByrnes 07.07.22	y'all better hurry 😈
MarsKid 07.07.22	No breaks on the break bus!
bgillesp 07.07.22	No brakes either
rockarollacola 07.07.22	I tried as hard as I could to get some decent variety, but I seriously have no clue if these songs are any good or not. 1. The Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats 2. Headrillaz - Space Funk 3. Lone - Aquamarine 4. Drumattic Twins - Broken Planet 5. Bad Company UK - Nitrous 6. The Prodigy - Voodoo People 7. Aphrodite - King of the Beats 8. Goreshit - Toromi Hearts 2 9. Atomic Hooligan - Dreaming 10. Noisia - Concussion https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Q2SgmGq6m5c4vwY19QsS2?si=8b8ba0e65aa14907
SteakByrnes 07.07.22	Goreshit rules
MarsKid 07.07.22	If it makes you feel any better, I don't know if they're good yet either!
rockarollacola 07.07.22	Definitely out of my element, but it was pretty fun digging into a genre I didn't even know existed until this week.
SteakByrnes 07.07.22	did you enjoy what you heard? cause I got super into breaks at the end of last year and love it lol
rockarollacola 07.07.22	It really depends on the vibe they give off. I definitely enjoyed the more lowkey funky stuff, but wasn't a big fan of the heavily distorted, manic and in-your-face stuff.
Uzumaki 07.07.22	Ok, I think I’m good. The overarching theme is a Saturday night full of getting down on the dance floor whilst simultaneously getting snoggered, only to realize that the night has only begun… Ratpack - Lords of the Dance Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin’ Beats Supercharger - Bouffant Idiot Headrillaz - Spacefunk Puddu Varano - Doberboy Bonobo - Full Stop Terminalhead - Coma Nova Headfirst - Kick It Syndicate - Badman Propellerheads - On Her Majesty’s Secret Service https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBaS8ZeoZ_XCRMR7wdo-WAM5VvrfTlN6n Lemme know if the link works. I made it unlisted so technically those who click should have access. If not, I’ll try and fix it as soon as I can, and if you could please use the cover for Propellerheads’ album, I’d be much obliged, thanks!
MarsKid 07.07.22	Yeah if it's unlisted, it should work fine! Keep those submissions coming!
MarsKid 07.08.22	Nobody has tried sneaking in a U.S. artist yet! I thought someone might attempt to be cheeky...
tyman128 07.08.22	okay, picture a dark club becoming somehow more positive and energetic as the night goes on... idk I struggled with this The Prodigy - Fuel My Fire Overseer - Supermoves Propellerheads - Bang On! The Chemical Brothers - Come With Us (Fatboy Slim Remix Edit) Transformer Man - Everybody Get Up (Circuit Breaker Remix) Zomby - SURF I Altern 8 - E-Vapor-8 Kaizo Slumber - The Carbon Menace Lone - Aquamarine bye2 - (Outro) Kendall64 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Lh0a7VISOpZIBwDic9kpe?si=e9b386439ce94960
JohnnyoftheWell 07.08.22	made a couple of revisions to mine (updated the playlist; track requiring links are the same): 1. The Prodigy - Voodoo People 2. Dream Dolphin - Bloody (The First and Final War)* 3. HAAi - Purple Jelly Disc 4. Hybrid - Dreaming Your Dreams 5. Atari Teenage Riot - Sex 6. Yune Pinku - Bluff 7. Skee Mask - Testo BC Mashup** 8. Aphex Twin - Cock/ver 10 9. Dai Dai Dai - LASE 10. Venetian Snares - All The Children Are Dead taking a bit of a gamble that you'll vibe with vocal-driven bangers and harsh IDM/breakcore more than hammy big beat spymuzak - can't call it either way, but there's so much of the latter across these lists that imma trim it from mine and see if it pays off
MarsKid 07.08.22	List is updated and current.
Pheromone 07.08.22	what is deadline I will work on this
MarsKid 07.08.22	Deadline is... TODAY. I was about to shoutbox you too. Did you sense me???
Pheromone 07.08.22	AHHHHHHHHHHHH My MarsKid senses were tingling but I thought that was my gout
MarsKid 07.08.22	I am both. Be tingled.
bgillesp 07.08.22	Steak is the only one who uses neither Chemical Brothers nor The Prodigy so I’m impressed with his originality
MarsKid 07.08.22	To reiterate: you CAN still submit on Saturday or Sunday, but I would prefer if you don't. I'll be in the middle of judging and therefore (likely) won't be able or accepting edits if you need them.
Pangea 07.08.22	Swapped Prodigy songs The Prodigy - Wind It Up instead of The Prodigy - Climbatize
MarsKid 07.08.22	Instructions unclear, playlist deleted.
JohnnyoftheWell 07.08.22	"The Prodigy - Wind It Up instead of The Prodigy - Climbatize" based (even if Climbatize < 3)
Pangea 07.08.22	yeah i did really like climbatize but i couldn't make it work in my album. Would have been a dope penultimate track in another one though
MarsKid 07.08.22	Round 2 is set up. Some will be happy about the genre, others... not so much...
JohnnyoftheWell 07.08.22	if i heard Wind It Up on a night out, my body would disintegrate lmao
MarsKid 07.08.22	If you do not melt when partying, did you really party?
Shemson 07.08.22	Oh Mars you tease *Awaits deathcore round 2
bgillesp 07.08.22	Since we aren’t getting eliminated yet, could we go ahead and get access to R2? 🥺
Pheromone 07.08.22	What do I do if it's not on Spotify oh god
JohnnyoftheWell 07.08.22	throw away your television
MarsKid 07.08.22	Use Apple Music and get 0 pts gg
Pheromone 07.08.22	oh god I mean one of my songs is no on Spotify the rest r I killed this
MarsKid 07.08.22	Yea you've been eliminated, kindly pack ur bags
Pheromone 07.08.22	omg I will end u ok I will just put one song twice as an artistic choice
MarsKid 07.08.22	You could also, in all seriousness, do what Johnny did and make a somewhat hybrid album. I'd probably prefer that such a thing doesn't become the norm for the sake of simplicity, but I'll at least allow it for now to a reasonable extent.
SteakByrnes 07.08.22	"Steak is the only one who uses neither Chemical Brothers nor The Prodigy so I’m impressed with his originality" ty big dawg :3
rockarollacola 07.08.22	isn't today the deadline for submitting the albums?
MarsKid 07.08.22	Preferred deadline, yet. Those that have yet to submit have been notified.

bgillesp 07.08.22	I didn’t even think of using multiple tracks from one artist. I guess I’m still subconsciously trying to play by the rules of 3 years ago
JohnnyoftheWell 07.08.22	woa phero Permutation love nice almost used Sordid from that, but couldn't find a place in the flow
bgillesp 07.08.22	Sordid is a jam agreed
Storm In A Teacup 07.08.22	Oh dear. 9 and 10 are in the right order on the linked playlist but i typed them out in reverse order so whats written down is reverse.
SlothcoreSam 07.09.22	When does the listening party start?
MarsKid 07.09.22	I'll be working throughout the weekend to get through em! Expect results either Monday night or Tuesday.
MarsKid 07.09.22	I ended up having weekend plans (me? plans? NO) so I'll be set back a little bit. Results might be a TAD later, but they're coming next week!
bgillesp 07.09.22	No worries! Take your time
MarsKid 07.09.22	I've already got one album done. Solid start! Breakbeat has some hits...

Ryus 07.09.22	yo wtf i wanna be part of this youre actually doing good genres
JohnnyoftheWell 07.09.22	plz don't jinx the next round, i can already smell the thrash metal approaching
MarsKid 07.09.22	Thrash round except KILL judges and can ban you if your album is determined to be not manly enough.
Shemson 07.09.22	Interested to hear Jamie XX as breakbeat on Sinternet’s list Gonna check out a few of these I think
Shemson 07.09.22	Also I’m ready with Manowar for the manliest metal round
bgillesp 07.09.22	I forgot this could include genres I know things from. Bring on the Thrash!!
Storm In A Teacup 07.10.22	Please post hardcore please
Uzumaki 07.10.22	Americana now that Neek isn’t here…
Sinternet 07.10.22	a lot of uk bass has a strong breakbeat lineage but that jamie xx track in particular has some interesting programming kinda went with a stylistic jump from oldschool breakbeat hardcore/early jungle to modern progressive and hardcore breaks snuck a little bit of garage in too as those tracks fit the aesthetic and blend in with the style didnt even think of going the big beat route but its def a fun vibe a couple of tracks ive seen on some albums is questionable in relevance but most here is pretty decently focused
Pheromone 07.10.22	OMG I FORGOT TO SEND THE SPOTIFY PLAYLIST MARS I AM SORRRRRYYYY WILL DO SOON
Sinternet 07.10.22	oop yeah ill add my playlist link to mine too
Uzumaki 07.10.22	lol
MarsKid 07.10.22	I will probably be getting through the bulk of these tomorrow!
Uzumaki 07.10.22	So those who missed the deadline just get 0 points? Looks like we’re just missing Slex
rockarollacola 07.10.22	Slex don't need no fuckin' points. He's about to do a clean sweep once the elimination rounds start.
Uzumaki 07.11.22	Oh goodie
MarsKid 07.11.22	I've reached out to Slex a handful of times and have yet to receive word, so I'm not sure what's up.
MarsKid 07.11.22	And yes, if you have playlist issues/no playlist, please add em ASAP.
MarsKid 07.11.22	I've noticed a handful of playlists are missing songs, and I'm not sure if that's a me issue or not.
SteakByrnes 07.11.22	just double checked mine and it's all there
Mort. 07.11.22	yeha mine appears to be all there
MarsKid 07.11.22	I can always add em in as I go through, but just a heads-up in advance to anyone that may be missing some.
Mort. 07.11.22	im itching to start the next round mars
MarsKid 07.11.22	Doing my best! These will likely take longer for me to do at the start since there are quite a few contestants.
Shemson 07.11.22	My playlist looks all in order mate
MarsKid 07.11.22	Might be a me issue...
SteakByrnes 07.11.22	skill issue I'm afraid
MarsKid 07.11.22	:^(
SteakByrnes 07.11.22	nothing personal kid falco dairs you into oblivion
MarsKid 07.11.22	all fun and games until you try laser from the ledge...
SlothcoreSam 07.11.22	Pretty sure the playlist issue is differing countries song availability on Spotify. I'm composing a YouTube playlist as well.
MarsKid 07.11.22	I can fill in the blanks with links myself too to compensate. Shouldn't be a big deal.
SlothcoreSam 07.11.22	YouTube playlist. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgD-BDbuLCp8NaN-Sb9DR70tfTEh-LDFQ
MarsKid 07.11.22	Good progress is being made. Expect results tomorrow.
bgillesp 07.11.22	I’m in the US (you are too right Mars?) so hopefully there won’t be any issues with mine
MarsKid 07.11.22	I'm on Mars my dude
Uzumaki 07.11.22	“Falco dairs you into oblivion” Play a game of edge guarding with down b
rockarollacola 07.11.22	If I don't get dead last this round I'm gonna be ecstatic
MarsKid 07.11.22	Well unless Slex appears, dead last seems to be locked for this round. None of the albums have been bad so far. But some are better than others.
Storm In A Teacup 07.12.22	I’m so excited
rockarollacola 07.12.22	you should award slex the most points for being such a rebel
Mort. 07.12.22	give me rankings or give me death
MarsKid 07.12.22	All is revealed tonight. . . . .
SteakByrnes 07.12.22	pog champion
Storm In A Teacup 07.12.22	Hooray!
SlothcoreSam 07.12.22	I'm more excited about learning next weeks theme, then knowing the results
Uzumaki 07.12.22	[2]
Storm In A Teacup 07.12.22	Pxc! Pxc! Pxc!
JohnnyoftheWell 07.12.22	the thought of a storm-built phx album terrifies me
Storm In A Teacup 07.12.22	Scares you because of how phenomenal it would end up being.
Storm In A Teacup 07.12.22	Build an album with Fear Before, BoySetsFire, and Hopesfall? Yes please.
Storm In A Teacup 07.12.22	Just getting that as a genre is more valuable to me than winning 1st for that round.
MarsKid 07.12.22	Will be up at the very latest around 11:00pm EST. Appreciate the patience my friends.
Shemson 07.12.22	The tension is palpable, no idea how I’ll sleep tonight
Storm In A Teacup 07.12.22	Only 5 hours! 🤯
Shemson 07.12.22	Yeah but it’s 11pm and I need to be up at 5.30 sadly
Uzumaki 07.12.22	I’m off tomorrow Mwahahaha
MarsKid 07.12.22	Next round will be a bit more difficult, I think...
SlothcoreSam 07.12.22	Is it Goregrind? With the dumb rule being, only uplifting songs?
MarsKid 07.12.22	Next round is Meshuggah. The rule is dei or die.
Storm In A Teacup 07.12.22	More difficult? This was not easy tho! 😶😶
JohnnyoftheWell 07.12.22	nothing could be more difficult that an unconsummated grime round
Mort. 07.12.22	grime but no uk acts
