Knott's Inferno Mix 2009

Red Swan Entertainment has provided the Inferno Stage at Knott's Scary Farms Halloween Haunt for the last two years. In addition to wrangling 20 performers and a dozen spotters, we provide our own music for the show. Since they won't let us have live music, and we must provide a cd, we went with a friend who created two stunning mixes for us.
Check 'em out:

For 2009, we decided to take a lesson from the performers and accept "auditions" for this year's mix. Any DJ who would like to do so may submit a mix for consideration for the Inferno Stage mix.

Because this is a public venue and a park with a lot of things going on, there are some restrictions to what we may accept. Submitted mixes should have the following attributes:
- 15 minutes long
- preferably music without copyright entanglements
- All tracks must be appropriate for 13 year old + (ie "clean" ratings)
- All tracks, Ambient to Goa, Breaks to TechStep, should be danceable.
- limit radical changes in style and speed to 1-5 times total, please.
- Knotts likes the mix to have a definitive end (like big Hollywood spectaculars). Drum build and a gong, or, in the case of our second year, the dragon's roar; etc.
- We prefer the last 5 minutes or so to have a lot of energy and an epic build
- we prefer the opening sequence to have a seriously strong hook to gather the crowd

You're encouraged build whatever mix you like, without regard to previous versions or preconceptions of what would "fit" at Knotts.

Since we like to have the mix ready for performer auditions, and we'll need some time to decide, all submissions should be with us by Mach 1st, 2009.

Winning mix will be awarded $100 and [if available] 2 guest passes to the Haunt.
