My New Year's Anthem Producer Challenge track on SoundCloud

I saw an advert for a musical challenge that I couldn't resist: a New Year's Eve anthem. The entry cost was nominal: $5 US for some sound samples you had to incorporate into your piece. I smashed together a seven-minute long club dance/disco/tech-house extravaganza with a wee bit of Latin and Indian flavor thrown in for global measure. The entry had to be made via SoundCloud, kind of like a Facebook for musicians. Since the entry is part of a SoundCloud Group run by the contest's sponsors and the group is moderated, my entry, if it qualifies, may or may not be live at this URL (see below for an update, but it got rejected and I've made it public but not downloadable):

The contest closes on December 16, 2010 and as of December 15 there are a mere 20 entries (excluding mine). So as not to be influenced I never listened to any of the competition. And still haven't. Honest.

Update for December 16, 2010: So far I've been unable to get my track uploaded via either Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. The fact that SoundCloud had undergone scheduled maintenance when I was trying to upload it yesterday did not help. And today the site is still having problems! Comments from members of the group that was set up for this contest are varied, with several negative comments. I may end up posting something there myself as it looks as though technical difficulties may hinder my entry attempts.

Update for a little later on December 16, 2010: I finally managed to get my track uploaded and converted to the SoundCloud audio format. You can't listen to it until and if it gets approved by one or more of the moderators.

Update for December 17, 2010:  My track got rejected by the record label that co-sponsored the contest. No real info on why other than "not fitting." I objected as the contest rules and a blog posting by the other co-sponsor implied that the track only had to meet the qualification of including one or more of the purchased sound samples. I've made the track public but you can't download it.
