Blockchain Music Challenge Season 2 - Round 3!
10 Days To Enter And Earn Points!
Welcome to Season 2 Round 3!
This season will be genre specific and we are going to be spinning that genre wheel to keep you on your toes lol. :D This will be a multi-platform contest, so if you are on Steemit, Whaleshares, WeKu it's all good.
For the 3rd round genre, we are going to go with Hardstyle!
You can use this following for inspiration, to get your creative flow going:

Go to the 10:10 Coone - Black Submarine & 34:25 Kronos - No pain no gain! :D
You will have Ten(10) days to produce your entry!
The official contest days are: August 7th 2019 to August 18th 2019 at 11:59 PM EST! That leaves us 3 days to judge the entries, and get the winners selected. Each new round will be on a 14 day schedule, so keep your eyes peeled for new information about new rounds.
Posting Your Entries
Post your entries where ever you feel comfortable, just make sure that we can hear your music! Since the "other site" is using questionable practices, I am suggesting that everyone use Soundcloud, you make it private and shoot me the link so we can use the bot to play your awesome tunes! It makes it easier to play for the shows, so let's make it happen, thanks! :DPrizes
The prize pool for each round is as follows:FIRST PLACE WINNER: 4 SBD + 10 Steem + 40 SG + 40 Points
SECOND PLACE WINNER: 3 SBD + 5 Steem + 30 SG + 32 Points
THIRD PLACE WINNER: 2 SBD + 3 Steem + 20 SG + 26 Points
FOURTH PLACE WINNER: 1 SBD + 2 Steem + 10 SG + 20 Points
Each round's SBD prize pool is courtesy of: @enginewitty, @guiltyparties. Steem Prizes provided by @jackmiller and a mysterious unnamed benefactor.

Puhhh I know now why I did not know what Hardstyle is - lol - this is really not my kinda music ;) - not sure if I should take a week off or if I torture myself with those sounds - haha
Where is your sense of adventure? :D You got this ;) Lolz.
Haha my sense of adventure is still there BUT this music hurts my ears ;) - there are not many genres where I say : no thanks - but this unfortunately is one ;) - we will see what's happening - maybe I'll find an alter ego within me to do this - lol ;)
Felt the same way, hacked it with humour. <3
Haha you weren't the only one thinking that @psionic-tremors! I had a feeling it wouldn't be my cup of tea either with the actual name of it called "Hardstyle"... I need to summon a lot of help from YouTube on this one haha!
Haha - again in the same boat ;) @nickyhavey - I wish you good luck with this style!! - I guess I'm taking a break but I'm curious to hear your entry :)
Yea I'll have to do some research for sure and will probably just make this genre one time to say I gave it a go... Then run away as fast as possible once I've done it 🤣

Can you tag me in these so that I don't miss them? The feed gets so congested that it is all too easy to miss the very things that I'd like to prioritize. :/

Thanks, glad you will be following along. :) As for judging, if something comes about I will holler at ya to see if your still interested. :D
I've never specifically made a hardstyle track, but have come close in some of my tracks, so I figured I'd give this a whirl.
Here is my entry:

Awesome track Buf! Keeps that vibe of hardstyle nicely with the 150BPM and gnarly sounds associated with the j
genre (I've been buffing up my knowledge this week, can you tell 😂).
Hope to have mine all good to go in the next couple of days. Got to find some vocal samples, crowd noises, some massive claps and a cheesy lead synth melody to keep it fitting with the Hardstyle sounds from that Soundcloud set!

Oh fun... 😁

Definitely not my cup of tea. Watched part of the video, though, because looking at the deco, I suspected it was shot at Tomorrowland. Can't find any confirmation, but I'm pretty sure it is :0)
Well... I've given it a shot - please don't hate me Hardstyle fans haha :)

Cool, thanks for putting up an entry! Things was looking slim with just 2 so far. :D
Well there's still a few days left for folks to enter! You need to give us part timers some time to get our heads around a new genre 😁 so glad it's 10 days otherwise I'd be doomed!

This was a struggle and I am stuck in a love/hate relationship with this song at this point but I decided to share it anyways! haha

LOL I can totally relate to that my friend! Thanks for your submission. :)
