(this quote was from PRC345)
I've signed up for the Discord group today, didn't get around to it earlier. I'm going to post small announcement over there in the #comps page, linking to this thread and/or ThaSauce.

Just a heads up, might want to change that line. Anyway, the song seems interesting. I'll see if I can pull a nice atmospheric piece together.

May not have had the time to enter, but I did submit a vote. I should be able to enter this next round, though!

I came onto the site to check my messages. Then suddenly I appeared to be remixing this source. Not sure how that happened. Only had 2 hours spare so it's really rough, apologies for that. 

Voted. We got some good mixes this round! I wrote much more than I needed to in my reasoning for why I picked which because they were all pretty close for me.

voted, Nice work this round. I enjoy when theres 4 or more entrants. 

Voted. There was some nice variety in the submissions.

Agreed that there's some great entries! I voted as well. On... ThaSauce! *gasp* Finally made an account since I've competed quite a bit and plan on competing some more.

It's in no way finished, but it's all I can do for a really busy week. Hope you all at least enjoy it!

I'm assuming this is a typo because both my experience and the ThaSauce page are telling me the deadline is the 5th.

All three remixes were pretty good this round! I'll be looking for some other abnormal song to remix so we can all go crazy with it now that there seems to be more people joining the competition with PRC345.

Looks like there are a lot of people this time around! Hopefully I'll have the time to put out something good enough to keep up with all the competition!

Alright you PRC slooots, I voted!!!  Maybe I'll parshitstipate next round, the Canadian way eh?

I think you're right about the samples. If the original samples are cool to use, there shouldn't be a problem. Let's hope the panel agrees.
I'm normally the guy complaining about voice clips and sound effects in tracks, but this is tastefully handled and they're integrated into the track well. It all makes sense. Check their levels though, the clips seem rather loud at times, and there's sometimes a noticeable different in level between two clips.
Not much else to say. Source is there, handled creatively. Nice groove, cool sound design.
I'm sure there are nitpicky details go hunt down, but I don't have any. I wouldn't be surprised to see this posted. It hinges on whether the use of the samples is cool with ocr or not. And of course, the ending silence. Nice work.

El Polar Enker - Pretty nice Spanish flair to the track. Definitely a opposite of what comes to mind for me when thinking of Polar Knight, but you did a good job with a tough source. Song is a little static, and the ending is a little abrupt. 
Arctic Robot Dance Party - Blegh. This dude should have worked on his mix much more, and the intro is a little underwhelming/sounds off. He also took a lot of liberties with the Polar Knight source. 
King of the Kuiper Belt - Herbie Hancock's Chameleon says hello. Love what you did with this track. Everything comes together very cohesively, and that bassline is crunchy peanut butter goodness.
Pridemoor Cat - Really nice, clubby track. Leads sound a little weak at times and could create better separation, but overall still a really nice track. Good job from a fellow Robot member!

Review time!
El Polar Enker: This is kind of a textbook example of a static arrangement.  There are only two leads, the guitar and the piano, and their thin and artificial character makes them sound very similar to each other.  The percussion is a simple loop that's varied very little from beginning to end, and there's very little other accompaniment; the Enker section has some mid-range piano playing a simple loop, and that's about it aside from an extremely quiet bass.  As for source usage, it's a straightforward A-B-A pattern, which works but isn't very striking. Arctic Robot Dance Party: A good effort at integrating two sources that don't lend themselves to integration in any obvious way.  Some good ideas here, although vanilla synths and simple beats do bring it down somewhat.  Some of the transitions are a little awkward, and the ending is a little abrupt. King of the Kuiper Belt: I had a very hard time identifying the source usage.  On the second listen, I caught some suggestions of both themes, but they're really far afield.  Nice approach with the style, although there was an awful lot of the organ lead that could have been switched up a little.  Bass and highs were both a little light. Pridemoor Cat: Not bad at all!  A little slow and repetitive, but it's trance.  There's an odd effect in the first main section and again at the end where the lead is pushed back a little, which almost works, except that the mid-low arp is supposed to fill in the pauses in the Pluto theme, but isn't quite beefy enough to pull it off.  I was worried about a simple A-B-A arrangement here, but then you started doing the layered thing, and it worked really well!  It was kind of disappointing when that section ended, since it was easily the best part and there was a full minute left.  Solid approach overall though. Fellow Knight: Odd how this gradually grows less melancholy and more trancey as it goes, until the end when it reverses.  The lead is a little static, but it's a good arrangement.  Nice, if brief, layering of the sources.

My remix is almost finished; I'm pretty proud of the mixing on this one. I might do some tweaking after the competition and actually submit it! Since I'll be doing tweaking after, I won't be putting it up on soundcloud like normal but since I submit directly through ThaSauce now that won't be a problem.

Glad you're participating, GCJ! I've got something a little more than just random samples thrown in a song this time.
I've never done a DnB-style mix before, so I figured let's do it. I definitely had some beginner woes trying to pick out synths, but I'm glad I went through the experience. Now I at least have a smidgen of experience to build on the next time I try something like this! Entry: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8-q7hg2GtQPN0dNNUhRamQ0WWc

Dewey's and my collab bonus mix is up on YouTube and Soundcloud if you want to check it out!
