A Very Daft Christmas Vol. 2 (Process)

[electromatic]

I would like to start this volume early this year so we can get more tracks and have more of you guys then me. I'll only have 1-2 tracks. So what do you got?

Rules:
The tracks either have to be a cover of a christmas song or your own christmas song.
Songs with explicit lyrics are NOT allowed. There will be exceptions.
The music can be any kind of genre. Mainly some type of electronic.

Tracklist (so far):
*none*

Artwork proposals:

If you want to send artwork, either post it on this thread or PM it to me.

Also, it's ok to sample, you just have to tell me what samples you used.

I'll join! Is it fine is I use 2 tracks here? (1 from last year since I was to late to enter it and 1 new track)

[Dark_DJ]

I'll join in maybe, Dark Christmas II maybe? Which reminds me, might make a proper ep this christmas ^_< good luck on this ,m guys

[DJ_Sam_909]

OMG! I had a really good idea whilst I was on holiday about a christmas-style cover version of Burnin' but I haven't got the right programs or anything so I can do it myself:( I would like to hear how it would sound though if anyone's interested in taking the challenge?

When is the deadline?

Deadline is December 1st. I want to release Vol. 2 a couple weeks before the 25th.

[DJvCitro]

Who is making the artwork? (I realy want to)

[electromatic]

You can. I need to see what you've done in the past first before I make the final decision.

[DJvCitro]

Here is is..
I don't know if it's good enough.

[djaletrenis]

I'd like to see one of my songs in it, especially the stardust one.

[DJ GODS]

Songs on A Very Daft Christmas have to be....you know....Christmassy? They have to be either original (i.e. something you wrote yourself) or covers of actual Christmas songs.

[Pants3000]

I'll hopefully drop in another cover this year. I was thinking something along the lines of "Nutcracker Suite". Or maybe a remix of "Silver Bells", the Bing Crosby / Carol Richards version. Ooh, that would be fun.

[dj dekoi]

sounds interesting so can I get in on this? I need details.

[electromatic]

It's a lot simpler than Vol. 1's. I like it. I want to see what other people come with before I make the final decision.

EDIT: More details are now on the first page.

[Boba]

I'll work on a cover. It needs to meet a higher quality standard than that.

[Pants3000]

Careful, man. I'm sure DJVCitro has feelings too.

[DJvCitro]

Lol, nontaken (:
This isn't my best, and maybe if I may, I'll make an another.

[electromatic]

I would like to see it.

Oops, didn't read all the first post :lol:

[Pants3000]

If you'd like to see the first cover, it's right over here (http://www.archive.org/download/A_Very_Daft_Christmas/ULTIMATE_COVER.jpg).

[SeizureFox51]

*raises hand*
I had an idea for a cover, in case anyone wanted to know..

...why not have the Daft Punks in their pyramid, getting pulled by robotic reindeer or something? Like Santa but..you know, different :P

I was messing around ages ago with a buddy and drew a cartoon of them pulling their pyramid to their show with Busy P whipping them, but I mean it would have to be christmassy, I guess.

[dj_waybig]

Hey Sebon, is it fine we use samples in our tracks? Or do we have to make them completely from scratch? (My track uses samples but has that Christmas feeling.)

I got this cover art down. No one can top this (although someone can touch it up im too lazy)

[Akkazento]

I have nothing to contribute, but as a most definite on-looker of this project, I don't think that cover art is all too awesome. Maybe if you shortened it down to, I don't know, 1 Guy and Thomas? Or are they supposed to be a whole bunch of different people in that sled?

Well, this is the original: http://lyrics.sma****s.com/artwork/27/277b9f0c40cecc0d45cb4ee4b667bf3d.jpg

Thats why. As for why there are more Guys than Toms, its because there are no high quality strictly thomas photos out there. I had to use a discovery head for one of them.

Edit: Haha the website is called smash its.com but the wordfilter takes it as smash ****s. Hahaha heres another link: http://www.thesavvyboomer.com/.a/6a00d8341ccc5153ef0105364c9c29970b-500pi

NO WAY! You used a "New Kids On The Block" cover?!?!?! I don't know whether to be a little weirded out or congratulate you on finding such an interesting cover to add on to.
Kudos, my friend.

[SeizureFox51]

lol i like that one! It is epicly cheddar...

also, kids on the block? :O Haven't heard of them for ages and I think Dafters look better in the sled than they do hehe

[electromatic]

I like the covers, but that's not my main concern, but I think they're sweet. I would like to start collecting tracks for this project now, so we can have at least 10 songs for vol. 2. I would like this album a lot longer than the first one.

[electromatic]

Just an fyi. The first deadline is still December 1st.

[Pants3000]

Really? Wow, that's a lot closer than I expected. The collab might not happen, but I'll definitely send in a track or two.

[electromatic]

Yeah. I want to get this released at least a week before Christmas instead of a day before. Lol.

[Dark_DJ]

Just so you know, electro, Im still working on Dark Christmas 2009, but will send it in for this project asap :)

[Pants3000]

I've got a remix I'm working on. Should be done soon.

[electromatic]

I'm hopefully doing a Christmas cover myself. This might be just an EP again.

[Dark_DJ]

im a little behind on dark christmas, might not be able to finish it in time because im having a hard time actually doing iit

sorry chaps

[electromatic]

Ok. So this might be a 3 track EP. Lol. That's ok. I still want to get some tracks soon or this won't happen. Lol.

So, if this does happen, I'm changing the title to make it more original. The title has been decided to be "Just Another Christmas Cheer - EP".

[ION14]

Oh snap... where;d all of the support go? I thought you had like 6 or 7 songs from people?
oh well, an EP is better than nothing at all

[electromatic]

I have no songs from anyone yet. Lol. C'mon guys.

[Boba]

I have one track done, and one in process. I'll post em later.

[Boba]

Christmas Action Movie Theme (http://www.mediafire.com/?jjj3ztzztnw)

Name all the samples!

[electromatic]

Yay! The first track is here!

[electromatic]

This project is cancelled due to lack of track submissions.

[Pants3000]

I really wish I could ahve submitted a track, but as of recently I have found zero time for music.

[ArnoFR]

Still cancelled ?

I'd like to create one or more...it's up to you :)

[ION14]

*sigh*
Will you perhaps be doing one for next year. I'm sure if you start collecting now... the tracklist will be of the epic kindz.
