I decided to make a music challenge for fun and I figured I'd post it here because... why not?

The challenge is in this zip file: http://droidfreak36.com/Songmatchchallenge.zip

Copy of the README:

The challenge is simple. The six songs in the challenge (numbered randomly) are by three different artists, two songs per artist. Your challenge is to match them in pairs by artist and tell me (DroidFreak) what the three pairs of songs are. If you guess correctly, you have successfully completed the challenge.

As a bonus challenge, I have also included two bonus songs by popular artists. For those you simply have to tell me what artist they're from. You've almost certainly heard of both artists.

All files have been stripped of metadata, so you can't peek that way (Side note, do you know how hard it is to remove copyright metadata?).

I will give the answers to both challenges roughly 2 days after they are issued.

One more hint: None of the songs are from Monstercat.

A lot of my music is, but all 3 of those artists are not.

Probably a stupid problem... I'm getting the error that I can't open the file as an archive. I'm using 7-Zip. I also tried using Windows Explorer and it said the file was invalid. Am I dumb?

i gave this a shot but i had to conduct a lyrics search for both bonus songs to find out the artists, and i haven't ever listened to the bonus1 artist. second bonus was easier for me to guess but i still did that lyrics search since the song was unfamiliar. main challenge is just too difficult for me

Yaya, it sounds like your download was corrupted or incomplete when you tried to open it. Try downloading it again and give it a shot.

Isa, the point of the bonus songs is that they sound nothing like what that artist's usual style does, so it's not surprising you had to do a lyrics search. Unless you know the song or recognize the singer's voice, you're probably not gonna guess those.

I won't give out the answers to the actual challenge until two days are up (so no one can get it spoiled) but I will answer your bonus challenge answers.

Yaya:

You can't lose any street cred by getting these wrong. Like I said in the chatbox, these songs were chosen to intentionally make it difficult.

And yeah, even though these songs aren't Monstercat they're still EDM like most of my music is.

>Generic POP song
>No vocals
More like a generic Alan Walker or 7obu song.

woah! this is a cool idea!

hold on a sec, let me try...

EDIT: Whew, I think I've made this too difficult, but

I've given you 6 songs, and you have to get the maker of the song, and the song title

That's a significantly harder challenge than (either of) mine, since if you don't already know those songs there's nothing you can do. I listened to those songs and I don't know any of them, although I'm sure I've heard #6 at some point and #3 sounds vaguely familiar.

Songs 1, 2, and 4 are all part of a style of EDM I generally avoid. In a word, Brostep. Even though only one of them is actually dubstep, they all have that Skrillex-type heavy drop that I really don't care for (and Bangarang isn't dubstep either).

Song 6 is more like what I'd listen to, although the drop is still heavier and less melodic than my tastes usually run. It's kinda... generic? But those vocal chops are really recognizable/memorable, that's how I'm sure I've heard it before.

Song 3 kinda sounds like an anime intro or something. That descending chord progression from the intro sounds familiar, as does the riff that comes after it, but the rest is less recognizable to me.

Song 5 has a somewhat similar vibe but is more progressive. It almost sounds like a soundtrack piece by Henry Jackman. Almost. Has that soundtrack vibe though.

EDIT: I didn't open ANSWERS until after I typed all that, but I do know (and like) that song.

Side note, Bangarang is complextro as is your song 2 and your song 4 is drumstep. Your song 1 is actual dubstep and your song 6 is bass house or electro or something.

well, 3 is pretty close, it's a remix of a song from touhou, so it's quite japan

I'm about 90% certain I've recommended song 6 to you before

I think I've recommended songs by the artist for song 4

If you want the answers, I'll place them in a spoiler
