I'm excited for this

@All read what Cal says in the group description. If you can imagine it being played on a festival mainstage it's probably fine.
Xephyr
@OPC that should be fine

@Visualz, I didn't realize most of hardstyle was 150bpm, so yeah up to 150bpm is fine. I've said Electro House so it can be any sub genre of that. I'm not gonna sit here and list every sub genre. I'm not only suggesting big room house, I just put the beatport link as a guide for people. I've already said things like festival trap, melbourne bounce, jungle terror and hardstyle are ok. But yeah most electro house tracks are bigroom at the moment because they go down so well at festivals
Visualz
I feel like you're using the term "Electro House" to say only Big Room House which is what 99% of the tracks on Beatport Electro Top 100 are.... and Hardstlye is 150 BPM so say 128 - 150 BPM next time.

StarrSounds
@Echostorm i dont see it... on the left side of what page exactly. sry, im new
Calum Hood
@SHURK1KEN I'd stick between 128-140bpm, I can't imagine that being played on a mainstage at a festival really. And @Multicore only festival trap please as I wanted this contest to be mainly electro house and festival trap is very similar. A lot of festival trap tracks are remixes of original electro house tracks.

@StarrSounds you go to the left side of the page, click on "Post a Track" And search up the name of the song you want to post. BUT, it has to be published to your profile.
