Don’t know what Mutant Breaks is? Don’t understand the rules? Well then, too bad! Nah, just kidding. Maybe. Check the links from the last 8 years (!) for some ideas:

Are you sure you want to impose a genre for the theme? In all previous years the theme has been vague and kinda ridiculous, leaving it open for people to come up with whatever interpretation works for their style.

What theme would you suggest?

Yes breakwave is missing.

Yeah I’d also say go for a different theme. It’d be interesting to see other genres making glitchy fun about synthwave paradigms, but I’d prefer something funny, that permits a broader range of artistic interpretations…

Maybe first collect some suggestions, then vote?

My suggestion would be: “Mutant friends - mutating friendship”

I don’t know if it is a good idea or not but perhaps we have to make some noise on Twitter around Mutant Breaks because for the moment it is a bit calm. My personal visibility on this social network is next to absolute zero so that my yesterday post is already far in the limbo of the internets.

What is your twitter account?
Also try adding the following hashtags to your post
#mutantbreaks #renoise

My account has absolutly no importance ( @ghisloban ) because I have absolutly no influence. And I talked about Twitter, but of course, all social networks can be interesting to promote MBC#12 (FB, Insta, G+, Tumblr and many more). I’m not sure I like those social networks, but nowadays, they are everywhere so it is still a good idea to publish here and there the name of our favorite contest.

I can post @sequencer.de

What’s the official MB text and pic this year? I can repost at reddit, gearslutz and kvr too.

dunno if that counts as experimental, but here it is

Is it normal to post tracks so far in advance and do we want to make it secret and publish the names after voting?
