/mu/ i'm asking a great deal of you here... please get your thoughts coherent enough for some actual advice.
what do you guys think the best way of approaching a remix competition is? PARTICULARLY when there is no given genre advice, or any limitation on what you do with the tune - where do you start? what influences the choice?
for reference, i've done remix for a trance track done by Super8 & Tab, and i've gone with proggy/deep dark house and i'm not sure if it was the right move, most people stuck with the trance genre that the original was... am i way wrong?

For real though, I remember such competitions were a thing in early 10s and I've spent hours on making some techno remixes with chopped up samples and stuff. I never thought I'd win just wanted people to listen and give their actual thoughts on it, but in the end it was always couple comments like 'that's weird shit, but production is top notch' and that's about it
Later some netlabel contacted me saying they want to "work" with me, put my shit on wax but i didn't get a cent of the sales.

I've previously signed a few tracks here and there, you think its a waste?
What did you end up doing with your music?

To be clear.. i havent received a cent either, but thats not the aim of the game right? i'd imagine the $$$ come from when you get some reasonable publicity - which would only come from putting tunes on a label???
