About Dilemaradio
Dilemaradio is a Hip Hop music radio station founded in 2017 in Brooklyn, New York, USA. The name has a Spanish edge. In the Spanish language, the word dilemma is written with one ‘m’, this is how the name Dilemaradio was born. Once started as a small name on the streets —today— it has grown into a worldwide listening sensation for Hip Hop enthusiasts. Dilemaradio can proudly say it’s not like most radio stations. Hip Hop artists will never be judged based on commercial interests but talent. Regardless of well-known artists, indie artists, or undiscovered diamonds in the rough, at Dilemaradio, it is only about the qualities.
Great music influencers are listening to Dilemaradio, which helps artists get discovered. The balance weighs more towards non-commercial music but now and then you hear a top 40 Hip Hop song. This is why the music experience at Dilemaradio is always surprising, refreshing, and original.
With a focus on new music, Dilemaradio has an average of 500,000 weekly listeners with an additional 9% on weekends. The radio reaches a worldwide audience with the USA, Germany, Russia, France, and Canada as some of the leading countries. Dilemaradio’s Hip Hop music charts are based on audience retention and not commercial interests such as Billboard charts, which are one of the main reasons why some talent remains under the radar.

Overview – When Art Meets Urgency
#prodcomp #MixChallenge
The April 2025 edition of the Mix Challenge songwriting contest invites you to create a track based on the theme: "Rushed."
What does it mean to be rushed? Is it the sound of running late for the train, a mind racing against the clock, the mechanical hustle of a modern world spinning too fast, or the heart-pounding adrenaline of decision under pressure? Through the lens of music, you’re invited to translate urgency into sound — whatever your genre, mood, or tempo. The only rule: make it personal, make it intense, make it move. Creative Prompt – From Image to Imagination
These three reference images serve as visual fuel:
Each of them tells a story of time slipping, of chaos, of the modern race.
Your mission? Catch it, bend it, sound-design it. Sonic Strategies – Translating Rush into Sound
Here are a few musical angles to approach the theme
Tempo and Flow
Use BPM as a weapon:
Textures and Layers
Lyrics and Spoken Word (optional)
Contrast is Key Nothing feels "rushed" without contrast.

This challenge is less about competition and more about creation under pressure.
Whether you feel constantly late in life, overstimulated by the world, or simply thrive under deadlines, this is your sonic playground. So hit record, break your habits, and rush towards something brilliant.

#Mixcomp #Mixing #Rock #Indie #Mix-Challenge
With this month's game, you have the chance to work on a German "Pop (Rock)" production by Mix Challenge community regular Strange, who kindly provided these multi-tracks. The song is called "Weg zu Dir" (The way to you).
One of the bigger challenges will be finding a good balance between the percussive work and the vocals, creating an overall upbeat feeling. The vocals are another interesting aspect of this challenge, as they are not your typical "perfect on beat" type performance. It is highly recommended to consult the lyrics (incl. translation) to understand the overarching story this song is telling. Strange wrote:This song is about a man traveling home by car/plane and thinking about his wonderful wife. After a "philosophical song bridge", other people sitting in their cars also start singing about their partners (maybe you can see this movie play out in your head). How to?

#prodcomp #Song #MixChallenge
This month's SWC theme is a "Special Task Challenge" titled "I offer you a chord (progression)". Participants are provided with a 16-bar chord progression in the key of F Lydian, available in MIDI format, along with chord charts and Roman numeral analysis. The challenge is to create a song in any genre using this chord progression as the foundation.
Key points to consider
RemiEXS Tips for the March 2025 Songwriting Challenge in F Lydian
The F Lydian mode is an expressive and ethereal scale that carries an uplifting yet dreamy atmosphere. Unlike standard major scales, the Lydian mode features a raised 4th degree, giving it an open, floating, and somewhat "otherworldly" feel. The chord progressions provided in this challenge are rich with harmonic movement, making them versatile for various styles.
Which Styles Fit Best?
Beats & Rhythms
Pro Tip: Emphasize the Raised 4thIn the provided F Lydian chord progressions, the G Major (II) and D Major (VI) chords define the signature Lydian sound. Try highlighting this characteristic note (B natural) in your melodies and harmonies to reinforce the ethereal mood.
This March 2025 challenge is a great opportunity to push your composition into expansive, uplifting, and experimental territories. Whether you’re crafting lush ambient textures, intricate DnB grooves, or cinematic scores, the F Lydian mode is your gateway to an unearthly and immersive soundscape.
Mix & Mastering Tips for F Lydian Productions
The F Lydian mode naturally creates spacious, uplifting, and atmospheric compositions, which means your mix should focus on clarity, depth, and balance to preserve its ethereal nature.
EQ & Space Management:
Reverb & Delay Techniques:
Mastering Considerations:
A well-crafted mix and master will ensure your track retains its depth and harmonic richness, making the F Lydian magic shine through!
