great contest but I have a couple of questions:

Hello :) If you are referring to stems that someone made and are non-copyrighted and are freely downloadable, or you purchased then sure go for it... however we are really looking for original creations when possible. Notes are the Currency of Choon. And you can enter whenever you wish within the contest time frame for any particular round, 10 days. Hope that helps. ;)

Awesome! Thanks for the tag! I have shared this in our @emalliance discord and we have a few house producers there too so I'm sure we'll get a few bites... I may dive out of my comfort zone as well but we shall see 🙂

Least I can do my friend! I'm in the planning stages of Project steEMAliens to get more of us on the platform and sharing beats but there's a lot of things to get my head around first and still playing catch up from the last 3 months... All good fun though!

Ahhh perfect timing! I wasn't sure what I was going to put in place for my "Original Music Monday" series moving forward but this contest will help fill the void for it every other week.
I don't know if I have ever made a Deep House track haha but I am definitely game to give it a try!

WOW, @yamaagni!!!
@psionic-tremors just called me over to her "studio" and said: "Listen to this!"
I am just a simple "listener" and enjoying good music that reaches my ears.
While listening to your song I was blown away.
Clear sounds that made me move ... which does not happen very often ;)
I love it!

Hey! @inthenow, @chiefmappster, @d-vine, @jeffleinwand, @nickyhavey, @enginewitty, @guiltyparties & @jackmiller.
I certainly would want to participate in this contest. But first three questios:
1.- Have any of you a "Choon invite code" for me in order to sign up in their platform and be able to upload my music immediately?
According what I've seen on the sign up page of Choon: Without the "invite code" I would be added to a waiting list and therefore I won't be able to participate in this contest in time.
2.- Could you give me the link to the SMA Discord Server?
3.- Is that "contest room - blockchain-music-contest" a specific channel of the SMA Discord Server?
More than that, just get ready to fling me those 4 SBD + 10 Steem + 300 Notes + 40 Points if you answer correctly and positively my previous three questions. Hahahaha
Cheers!! :)

Did anyone help you out with an invite? If not I will make arrangements with you so you can participate no problem. I don't have any invites.. hopefully someone will help out with that. You can hit me up on discord @inthenow#8900. And the contest room can be reached here: https://discord.gg/prqBqs6 under contests category ;)

No, not yet as you can see so far in the comments.
Yeah! I hope that will be the case too. That gesture would be very nice. :)
And thank you for the Discord link. I've already wrote it down and probably soon I'll be wandering over there.
Cheers!!
