For the last two years, I've helped put together a Christmas album featuring artists from the community. This year, I'm starting earlier than ever to ensure that there's more than enough time for everyone to finish a track for the album.

I very much enjoy helping to bring these together, and wanted to continue this year, making it part of a tradition here at OCR. As I've said over the last two years, these albums are not in any way an official OCR album project. These are by the community, for the community. That said, let's get down to it.
When are the first set of WiPs due?
Generally, I'm lax about this for this kind of project, but I'd like to hear what everyone's doing by October 24. This is just to get a feel for how everything is going.
How do we submit tracks to you?
There are two ways: 1) catch me on IRC in #ocremix or, 2) e-mail them to dyne2057@gmail.com.
Is there a general theme you're going to be following, or must all the tracks be VG remixes?
I love remixes, I do, but I don't focus solely on them for this album. It's a Christmas album, and honestly, I'm looking more for Christmas-y kind of music. But I'd be happy to have VG remixes on the album with a wintry kind of flair to them. You're not limited to genre. It can be everything from orchestral to metal, electro to EuroBeat. Don't be shy. There's a theme running here, I'm pretty lax about things. It's really supposed to be a fun, spirited album aimed at lifting people's spirits and giving them the joy of more awesome tunes!
I'm going to be late sending in my entry, will I still get onto the album?
Yes. I'm pretty lenient all things considered. I will accept tracks as late as December 23, and that's primarily because I visit with family on Christmas Eve, and generally do not get home until near midnight most times.
What is the deadline for all final tracks?
Final tracks must be received by December 20, 2009. That gives me the entire week to build the web page, and upload all the files. Then, on December 24, I will release the album at midnight.
Who can sign up for this project?
Anyone. No really, established remixers, novices, anyone who wants to have a good time making music for the community.
