New RV Network Mix Contest Starts October 4th!

Electronic Music Network

I’m writing this post to announce that we will be kicking off a new RV Network Mix Contest at 12:01am Pacific Time on Sunday, October 4th! Some of you may already be familiar with our concept of mix contests because we ran one a while back. That said, I still wanted to give you some details about how we’re going to run this one.

This contest cycle will last for two weeks – from October 4th through October 18th. During this time, anybody can submit a mix to the RV Network and opt into the contest by selecting the opt in field in the RV File Uploader. (Of course, to be a valid entry, a mix must comply with our Contest Rules.)

As usual, we’re going to let the RV community be the judge for this mix contest. The winning mix will be the one that has the highest net rating at the end of the contest cycle.

To make things interesting, we’ll be giving away some great prizes! The winner of the mix contest will receive the following goodies:

  • A free download of MixMeister Fusion (retail value over $300)!
  • A $50 download voucher for the RV shop

Of course, the most important thing the contest winner will receive is props – that deeply gratifying feeling one gets when his or her artistry is recognized and respected by others ;)

If you’ve got a great DJ mix, we would encourage you to submit it to the RV Network between October 4th and October 18th. We would also encourage you to tell your friends to come and vote for your mix. The contest is free, so there’s really no downside!

Good luck!

LovEvolution 2009 in San Francisco – We’ve Got You Covered!

LovEvolution

LovEvolution 2009 is going down in San Francisco this weekend, and (once again) Resonant Vibes is going to be on the frontline bringing you full exclusive coverage of the festivities!

Obviously, we’re super excited about attending LovEvolution 2009. The roster of artists performing at the event includes Deadmau5, Groove Armada, Eddie Halliwell, DJ Dan, Donald Glaude, Andy Moor, Sharam, ATB, Green Velvet, Lee Coombs, Lee Burridge, Mark Farina, Danny Howells, Doc Martin, and more!

If you’ve been following RV for long enough, then you may recall that we actually attended the San Francisco LoveFest in 2006. Now, the organizers of the San Francisco Love Parade and San Francisco LoveFest have changed the name of the festival to LovEvolution. (The idea was to distinguish the event from another “Love Festival” event in Los Angeles.) In any case, it’s still the same great shindig, based on the incredibly positive energy and spirit of the original Love Parade in Berlin. Last year, 100,000 people showed up to enjoy the irresistible beats that were oozing out of the floats as they paraded through the streets of downtown San Francisco.

So what are we going to be doing at the festival? (…besides indulging our insatiable addictions to dance music!) Our game plan will be to get exclusive video, photos, and editorial content for our blog so that you can experience LovEvolution 2009 with us! We’re eager to capture the heart and soul of this event for the RV community.

In terms of our agenda – and this will come as no surprise – we plan to be hanging with our favorite underground party crew, listed Productions! As always, these guys have cooked up some super-exciting LovEvolution events. First off, on Friday, we’re going to be at listed’s party featuring Tyrant (Lee Burridge and Craig Richards)! This is Tyrant’s first appearance in America in 10 years, and my expectations for this are absurdly high! Next, on Saturday, we’re going to be hitching a ride on the “listed Gets Twisted” float. We’ll be riding through the streets of San Francisco listening to the tunes of Lee Burridge, Danny Howells, Craig Richards, Bill Patrick, Hac Le, Mike Khoury, Nikita, Dory, Hoj, and Naveen G. THAT’S GONNA BE BANANAS!

We’ll have coverage of everything for you.

Just stay tuned to the RV blog for more LovEvolution goodies and updates.

PS If you’re interested, we’ve added mixes to our network by nearly all of the DJs who are performing at LovEvolution, so you can download them for free!
