Awards Update

Hey, hey it’s nearly that time again! As there are so many mixes this year, we are going to run two rounds of nominations before posting the finalists for best mix.
The first phase of nominations, starting from today until the 14th of November involves those mixers with multiple mixes posted in the period between the 1st of November, 2004 and now nominating one of their mixes to be put forward to the second stage. Mixers with only one mix posted between those dates need not nominate. If a mixer fails to nominate, we’ll just enter the last mix they put forward.
The second stage of nomination involves b00mb0x mixers choosing eight mixes from the ones put forward to go through to the public vote. This begins on the 15th of November. Public voting begins on the 1st of December.
Update: Mixers that haven’t registered on the forum should if they want a vote in the second round.
Update 2: Categories in this years awards:
BEST MIX – (self/mixer nominated)
BEST MIXER – (out of those mixers with three + mixes submitted in year)
BEST NEWCOMER – (out of those mixers who first submitted a mix in year)
BEST SITE COVER
BEST COVER – (admin nominated)
BEST HORIZONTAL MIX EVER! – (admin nominated from complete archive)
BEST BLOG – (admin nominated)
The mixes that win get permanent public hosting forever. Probably won’t be able to do that for best mixer and best newcomer because of bandwidth, so those guys will have to settle for the classic rimjob from a senior citizen.
Update 3: 54 self nominated mixes are listed in the awards section of our forum. Other mixers will nominate 8 out of these mixes to go forward into round 3, the public vote. In the event of a tie in first preference votes, theres a second preference ballot there too. These polls expire after 10 days. In the event of more ties after both ballots, we will add extra rounds of quick fire ballots between the polls ending and the public vote to separate the mixes tying.
I nominate “Cut A Rug”
good choice 🙂 blasted that at 5 am last night. my neighbours must hate me. moving soon.
Oooh. Nifty new site. Well done naz & co.
Anyway, after much agonising, I’ve decided to nominate:
Frankie & The Mixclub Factory.
It was the first mix I ever uploaded here and I’m still rather fond of it.
It’s gonna be an even tougher choice when picking other people’s mixes in the next rounds.
Some class stuff on here.
Oh, frgot to say; Having another listen to my Willy Wonka themed mix will help to get rid of the bad memory of that bloody awful Tim Burton remake from the summer.
See? I’m providing a public service too. 😉
I nominate “Badmeaningood” for mine
I nominate “Hoggin’ The Decks” as my mix for mix of the year.
hey spiny, hey lemont agree on one please!
can any mixers with an account on the forum try voting on the test poll so i know it works?
http://www.b00mb0x.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=3
doh!
i guess we can agree on one…wanted to see if i could sneak that one past the ever-watching eyes 🙂
ok…LeMont and I have decided that “Badmeaningood” will be my entry for this year.
LeMont Blanc smacked you around a little, eh? 😛
LeMont’s my daddy, aye.
i nominate my funky punky reggae party (as it seemed to generate most comments).
w
I nominate “Rites Of Matrix”.
I nominate “Relax With Edward”
(and I second Matrix’s nomination for “Rites Of Matrix”)
Let “popish” be my choice…
There will be some competition !
Oh, good luck to everyone by the way 😉
This was so hard!
The one thing I wanted to do is to create mixes of different genres and ideas which makes it so difficult to pick one. To make matters worse I have 2 ready to go for November and December which I reckon are my best yet but, unfortunately, to late for nominations.
So, I’m going to go with Bathroom Mirror Not Included Vol 1. I’m choosing it not for anything particularly clever in the production, but for the content and feelgood factor.
Good luck y’all. I have seen a few personal favourites on here already and it is going to be difficult to pick a favourite.
I luv you guys!
I love the idea of this whole nominating just one mix bizness – I can hear the general head scratching going on.
I nominate 87.5 – 108FM Radio mwude.
Ooh! That’s cool. Mention a mixer’s name and it automatically links to their page. That’s pretty funky innit?
i gotta add the names manually so it only works for a few mixers with one word names
i nominate “thumpasaurusmix”
oops… thats swampmaster “thumpasaurusmix”
I didn’t submit any proper mixes this year so I’ll be a mere spectator for the awards. Gotta say I love the cassette tape avatars. I hope I get a TDK SA90 🙂
Mwude, you’re not wrong about the head scratching…
I nominate “Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be” for sentimental reasons. It did’nt have the most comments but it was my first post.
Good luck all.
Mixed on 4 decks, and hence the most fun, and thence one of my Noise mixes…
I nominate ‘Om Bee Ent’.
May the accolades…. erm, accolade accordingly.
it’s doing my head riiiiiiiiiiight in
Not sure I like this idea – smacks of egotism to me but if I have to choose then You noisy ____ers
This was how I envisioned all the other Noise mixes to be like, before we got hung up on “themes” – the last couple of noise mixes are so far removed from this it would be nice to remember what got us started.
However my fav mix on b00mb0x that I hope we get a chance to vote on is Mwude’s 87.5 – 108FM Radio.
Wait for it!!
Seriously though I am willing to vote for whoever offers me the most cash!
i nominate ‘mindsummernights daydream’
ill put byzantine forward

Mixers not on this who want a vote should register and let me know and I’ll give you voting access. Everyone can see the poll, but only mixers can vote. There’s another test poll there to test if your vote is working, if it’s not, let me know.
i’d like a vote.
i don’t see any users registered on the forum under mr wyse or wyse. You need to be registered. If there’s another username you are regged under let me know.
i nominate
quiet happiness
Whoops — totally missed the deadline. F-ing school getting in the way!
But if I still have a chance, I’d like to have Lazy//Sexy 02 “Deeper Movement” be the mix under review.
Appreciate it! Cheers to the best mix site on the planet…
i nominate:
rollup some samples
its outside the valid dates (nov 1 04- 31 oct 05), so i’m taking the rjd2 v 2 instead.
self nominations are closed as I’m building the ballot now and I won’t be able to change it after I start.
Anybody who wants to vote in the 2nd should register on the forum (not on the blogs) and if they can’t vote in the test poll, contact me for access
Two more batches of mixes are being posted, tomorrow and the 23rd. After the first of December, only the awards mixes and any xmas mixes we get are being posted publiclly (it should be around 20 mixes, for the whole month rather a week)
You can still upload mixes if you want, but they’ll not be posted until 2006
Good luck with the votes!
yaaaay
christmas mixes
woop wooop

pols expire on the 25th, so that would suggest tomorrow!
