♪♪♪ Official Railway Relay Discussion Thread ♪♪♪

[HudsonHawk]

Brief Intro:
No doubt you are wondering what's all this about. In short: a group of us got together and decided to put together a soundtrack for this beautiful 7 hour footage of the famous Bergensbanen line in Norway. There are 13 segments in total with 13 different ideas of a perfect soundtrack.

I have created a page where you view all segments:
http://houseonhudson.net/railway-relay/

Alternatively you can use this link to launch first video with the playlist option:

Competition and Voting:
I think that this competition should be restricted to DI forums only. For everybody else this is just a project we were working on together.

You will vote for your top 5 favorite mixes via the forums or PM to me.

The videos will stay up on youtube indefinitely or at least until somebody takes them down, but this competition will run for 6 weeks, ending on December 10th.

Credits:
I would like to thank all participating DJs:

1. Part 1 - Ominae
2. Part 2 - Firebug
3. Part 3 - 303 State
4. Part 4 - Fincore
5. Part 5 - ROX
6. Part 6 - 90
7. Part 7 - Wildcat
8. Part 8 - Pudman
9. Part 9 - T4E
10. Part 10 - XYZ
11. Part 11 - Phin
12. Part 12 - Salomon
13. Part 13 aka The Edit -

And a special thanks to Trev. This project would have never taken off without his help.

About Youtube:
I highly suggest watching all the videos in HD, but if buffering is too much for you, 480 is a perfect alternative that doesn't degrade sound quality.

Some of you may notice that these videos are still unlisted on youtube. We (participating DJs) have tested the setup privately for a day. I would like us to stay in test mode for another night just to make sure. Tomorrow though, these will be made available to all.

If you're watching the videos directly off youtube and not in full screen, expand button is your friend (see attached).

Thanks for doing all the hard work HH

Awsum, was waiting for this and it looks fab.

I had a quick mouthwatering skip thru them all, the variety of the mixes and styles is fantastic.
One exception tho, i can't access Buggie's mix (no.2) as the "content is not available in your country".
I thought they had taken Firebug off the Most-Wanted-List but it seems ole Teutonia still has a bounty on his head
Would be nice if Hudson could have a look into this and maybe find a work-around.

I was so waiting for this and although hestiant at first am now absolutely happy I participated, no matter the outcome.
Great idea, great stuffs, great everything.


Edit:
although repeatedly praised another thank you to HH for perfect syncing of my intro loop to the vid.
you're a pro, man

[J!SH!]

what is the train?

Well, what country are you in, Phin tested this and it worked in UK. Anyway, I can't think of anything short of Firebug doing another set (jk Firebug) or tricking it with a proxy server on your end. Worst case scenario I'll provide you with a download link.

[HudsonHawk]

[PhineasFreak]

they don't look german to me... they have no beer.

[Firebug]

This was such a great idea.

*Shakes head at the issues against him* I feel like a target of some odd conspiracy.

I'm quite happy with how mine came out given how short of a time I made it in.

[303 State]

First vid, first track - Awesome start!!

By the way, shouldn't this be the 'Listen n Vote' thread?

Are we gonna accept votes via t'Tube as well?

Does this mean that I can't link this page on my facebook wall? Because I think this is an amazing thing we all did and I would sure as hell love to show it to other people.

In other news, thanks again for the outstanding work and patience with the videos HH, and to Trev for providing his youtube account for uploading. Massive props

Will start the listening tomorrow.
