Electronic Music Network

Wanna start the New Year off right? …why not start by winning the RV Mix or Track Contest and picking up some free new gear?

Last week, we kicked off new mix and track contests in our network, and we’ve upped the ante in terms of prizes! We want these contests to be our biggest and best so far…

Since MixMeister is supporting RV Mix Contest 005, we’ve got some killer new prizes for you! The winner will receive

  • A free download of MixMeister Fusion (retail value over $300)!
  • A Numark MixMeister Control (retail value of $200)!
  • A Numark DJ In/Out Box
  • A pair of Numark HF125 DJ Headphones
  • A $50 download voucher for the RV shop

We’ve also got a nice prize for the winner of Track Contest 003! We’ll be giving away a $150 download voucher so you can stock up on fresh samples and tracks to keep your production arsenal fresh.

The contests will remain open through January 18th, and you can enter by simply uploading a mix or track to our Network. This is your chance to upload some good tunes and to win cool prizes and recognition for your skills!

As always, the RV team is not going to judge the contests; we’ll leave that to the community, so be sure to tell your friends to show some love to your music after you upload it ;)

Finally, I want to mention that we noticed some strange voting issues in our last contests, and we’re going to police these contests a bit more closely. Please understand that if we detect any suspicious voting related to your account, you may be disqualified…so let’s keep it clean, and may the best DJ and producer win!

For those who enter the contests, good luck!

How Does the RV Network Help You?

The RV Network serves a few different purposes, and I don’t think it’s fully understood by all of our site users. With this thought in mind, I figured I’d write a blog post to succinctly describe the ways in which the RV Network can help you. In short, we want the RV Network to provide three valuable benefits to the worldwide dance music community. First, we want it to be a forum where underground DJs and producers can get increased recognition and industry exposure. Second, we want it to be a convenient place where DJs and producers can store their music for free. Third, we want it to be a treasure trove of quality free dance music that fans throughout the world can access and enjoy.
.
Giving You a Forum for Recognition
By now, I’m sure you’ve noticed that we’re running recurring mix and track contests in our Network. In these contests, we offer prizes to encourage all DJs and producers to submit their music, then we let the RV community judge the music by using our site’s voting feature. The aim of these contests is to give DJs and producers a chance to be heard by the many people coming to our site each day. We feature the winning contestants on our site, and we announce their victory through our various social media outlets (e.g. Facebook and Twitter). The basic idea is to get your music heard by more people and to help you advance in the industry.
.
Hosting Your Music for Free
Another important way in which the RV Network can help you is by hosting your music for free! I think a number of DJs and producers may be sleeping on this benefit. Over the years, I’ve met tons of people handing out demos of their mixes or tracks. I’ve also gotten hoards of emails from people sending me download links for their music. We’re trying to make it easier for you to get your tunes out there. Just create an RV profile page, and upload all of your mixes and tracks. Then, whenever you want to share your music with people, just send them a link to your profile page or to the page for the item you want to share. We’ve also added a “share” button to make it easier for you to share music on well-known social networks. Other websites may charge a fee to host your music, but we’re happy to do it for free.
.
Offering a Treasure Trove of Music
The third important way in which the RV Network can benefit you is by serving as a treasure trove for your download needs. Right now, we’ve got so many phenomenal mixes and tracks in our Network that I couldn’t list them here. Basically, anytime you’re looking for a great new mix to check out for free, you can come to our site and download one. We’ve made it super easy (unlike when you download a mix in a message board post). You don’t have to worry about going to some spam-laden third party download site, where you have to wait 20 seconds for your download to start (or where the download link may have already expired). In the RV network, you simply click the “download” button and get your mix. If you’re not already downloading the amazing free music in our Network, you’re missing out…big time!
.
So that’s it in a nutshell…I hope this post clarifies the main ways in which the RV Network can help you. More importantly, I hope you take full advantage of the free services it offers!

New Mix and Track Contests Starting December 7th!

Electronic Music Network

In association with MixMeister, RV is kicking off new mix and track contests in our Network on Monday, December 7th, at 17:00 GMT! The contests will remain open through December 21st, and you can enter by simply uploading a mix or track to our Network. This is your chance to upload some good tunes and to win cool prizes and recognition for your skills.

I know we’ve got plenty of good DJs and producers reading this blog, and you guys are working to get your name out. We want RV to be a forum for you…our last mix contest winner, Tom Beltor, had his music downloaded by over 2,400 people and played by over 200 others, so there’s definitely an opportunity for exposure!

As usual, the RV team is not going to judge the contests; we’ll leave that to the community, which brings me to an important point…after you upload your mix or track, you should definitely encourage your friends to vote for it! As with most endeavors, it helps to do a little extra legwork in these contests. We’ve made it easy for you to let your friends know; all you have to do is click the Twitter and/or Facebook icons on your item, and poof, the word goes out! (On a side note, if you don’t have a Twitter and Facebook account, you should make that happen yesterday.) After your music gets some votes from your friends, it can gain momentum and be more likely to grab the attention of the tens of thousands of other people checking out our site during the contest cycle.

To give you a bit more incentive to enter our contests, we’re giving away some cool prizes…

Mix Contest – Cycle 004
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

Track Contest – Cycle 002
The winner of the track contest will receive a $150 download voucher for the RV shop.

So that’s it…now, in the immortal words of the Squidbillies Sheriff, “The talkin’ part’s over”; it’s time for you to get on the decks or get in your studio to create some good music to share with the RV community!

For those who enter the contests, good luck!

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!
