one question though..
samples allowed JUST for "171" or samples allowed in general?

thanks man, and congrats to Fresh too!
yes, samples are only for "171" (also "chopped" number are allowed, for chopped i mean taken from different fonts), but vocals (and own sampled vocals) are allowed too..

Didn’t really know what to do with the samples. Sat down for some minutes this Friday afternoon and come up with this. Didn’t use the drum samples. Made some loops. Added a bass and a voice saying “one seven one” in Swedish. Bounced to my digital recorder. Resampled with vinyl sim and reverb. Opened the file in Audacity for some final touch. Done. Made a silly picture. Upload.

Struggled with the samples myself, decided to microwave it and move on.
Bassline was derived by microsampling the kickdrum. Drums and Gigi Masin was layed live, resampled to lay the bass then resampled again for vox taken from my favourite source for vocal samples. Extra resample for reverb then recorded to external source the reverb version and original slightly out of sync. Blast-mastering at 900watts for 1min 4 seconds in an IKEA kitchen. Came out a bit rubbery... personally i prefer the slow-cook method.

EDIT: left it sitting out on a plate overnight, when i got up this morning it was absolutely inedible... anyways, good luck everyone!

I used a metronome and chopped the bits and jammed them out to the metronome and then added drums one piece at a time then nuked it up. I don't usually do the resample thing but thank you ellaguru! Definitely learned something this round

Check the edit - I turfed it, non-palatable it was. Microwave food is bad for your health.
Here's my track:
https://soundcloud.com/l_i_f/l-i-f-ett- ... -20-xii-14
Used the same samples, but replayed/recomposed today. SP-> Tascam DR1 -> eq in Audition 1.5, normalised to 50% and mastered using LANDR (<<--!!)
EDIT:
GOD JUL&MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
