Looking forward to it!

May the best man (or woman) win. And may wobbleflop flop please.

Looking forward to it. again not expecting much for myself but hope most of my pointed songs do very well!

I’m kinda here for Wobbleflop winning

Posted by: Jade 10th February 2024, 07:58 PM

not expecting to do particularly well in this field but rooting for my favourites.

Posted by: dandy* 10th February 2024, 08:00 PM

I’d guess at Blessed Madonna or one of the trance intro tracks winning. Although I’m kinda hoping I’ll be proved wrong.

Posted by: Y'all Starlight 10th February 2024, 08:02 PM

Looking forward to finishing at the bottom !!!

Posted by: Brer 10th February 2024, 08:10 PM

Just occurred to me the DJ Mehdi song has had the wrong title in the thread the whole time (I wondered for a moment if it was me who had it wrong but it is meant to be 'Pocket Piano')!

Absolutely no idea what will win so surprise me x

Posted by: Dobbo 10th February 2024, 08:18 PM

My bet is on Izar to win.

Posted by: Iz 🧊 10th February 2024, 08:23 PM

bring it on, interested to see who was behind the really standout tracks in here - there were quite a few of them including some I didn't manage to vote for, a very nice diverse edition.

Posted by: Colm 10th February 2024, 08:28 PM

ColmFlop539

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 08:30 PM

Oh gosh, you're right, I went by the submitted title but should have checked.

Piano Pocket really doesn't even make sense

Ok, some swift find and replace, it's now changed to Pocket Piano in every vote!

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 08:33 PM

Dandy* sent… Todd Terje - Strandbar (Disko Radio Edit)

Posted by: k👠th 10th February 2024, 08:41 PM

I would have never guessed any of those oop

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 08:42 PM

Here are the votes from Group 1:

Doctor Blind

Chez Wombat



Colm

Dandy*



Brer

Posted by: k👠th 10th February 2024, 08:44 PM

Inb4 wobbleflop sent Izar

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 08:45 PM

And now here is how the first scoreboard looks after the votes from Group 1:

37 Izar - Born Of A Star
36 Praga Khan - Injected With A Poison
27 Feryquitous – Shakah
25 Fractal Dreamers - Paradigm Shift (Chez Wombat)
25 Prayer - Make Me Feel
20 The Blessed Madonna - He Is The Voice I Hear
16 Tycoos & Sandro Mireno - A Place Where Love Is Born (Intro Mix)
16 UNKLE - Sunrise (Always Come Around) (Doctor Blind)
14 DJ Mehdi - Pocket Piano
12 High Contrast feat. LOWES - Rhythm Is Changing
12 Todd Terje - Strandbar (Disko Radio Edit) (Dandy*)
10 Cedric Paul - Winter Spirit (Intro Mix)
10 Joe T. Vannelli Project feat. Harambee - Sweetest Day Of May (Greed's Euphorik Vocal Mix)
09 ATRIP & Poté - Look At Me Dance
06 Chaos In The CBD feat. Nathan Haines & Dave Koor - Emotional Intelligence
05 Adrian Boland - Follow the Path (Extended Mix)
03 In Love With A Ghost - Can I Be Your Internet Crush
03 Pianoman - Cast A Spell (Original Mix)
02 Raul Orellana - Real Wild House (Colm)
01 Headcase (Ryan Thistlebeck vs Rick M Edit) - When The Love
01 Isha-D - Stay (Tonight)
00 Alina Baraz, Galimatias & Hotel Garuda - Make You Feel (Hotel Garuda Remix)
00 Barry Can't Swim - How It Feels
00 DJ HEARTSTRING & Narciss - Heartbreak Repair System
00 Etienne Nogues - Piano In Trance
00 Loveland vs Darlene Lewis - Let The Music Lift You Up
00 MACROSS 82-99 - Night In Tokyo Pt. II
00 Melle Brown feat. Annie Mac - Feel About You
00 SI-FI – Remember (Brer)

After the first five votes, we see a strong start for Izar, who scores two twelves already! But with a 12 of its own and votes from all of the first group, Praga Khan’s rave anthem is only a point behind in second place currently. Feryquitous start well and race into third place while Chez is the highest member of the first group to be revealed, with Fractal Dreamers in fourth place already. Evidently a group with similar taste here, they leave a whopping eight songs on zero so far!

Posted by: Iz 🧊 10th February 2024, 08:45 PM

I can see how most of those entries lined up, a good set for the most part. Fractal Dreamers in particular is VERY Chez.

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 08:49 PM

Onto Group 2 shortly, and as a reminder, it consists of Iz, Y'all Starlight, WhoOdyssey, danG and Ansel. Guesses welcome now on who may have sent what in this group. The reveal and their votes will follow shortly…

Posted by: dandy* 10th February 2024, 08:50 PM

I absolutely love Todd Terje, couldn’t resist sending him

Posted by: k👠th 10th February 2024, 08:52 PM

Iz sent In Love With A Ghost

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 08:53 PM

Group 2/6:

Iz sent… Izar - Born Of A Star
Y'all Starlight sent… Etienne Nogues - Piano In Trance
WhoOdyssey sent… High Contrast feat. LOWES - Rhythm Is Changing
danG sent… Chaos In The CBD feat. Nathan Haines & Dave Koor - Emotional Intelligence
Ansel sent… Praga Khan - Injected With A Poison

Posted by: Roba. 10th February 2024, 08:55 PM

Didn't see Ansel sending 'Injected With Poison'

Posted by: k👠th 10th February 2024, 08:56 PM

Posted by: jimwatts 10th February 2024, 08:57 PM

oh so I was onto something with the Iz-ar connection

Posted by: Iz 🧊 10th February 2024, 08:58 PM

got a bit of entry envy with it ngl, I've definitely seen their name around a bit in the electronic circles I like delving into

went for the name ref and the star ref and most importantly the banger references with Izar, very pleased to have gotten off to such a good start, thank you very much people in the first group!

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 08:59 PM

Here are the votes from Group 2:

Iz

Y'all Starlight



WhoOdyssey

danG



Ansel

Posted by: Y'all Starlight 10th February 2024, 09:01 PM

I took the theme very seriously, even sending a song with 'piano' in the title

Thanks for the silver Ansel and the other generous amount of points Whoddy!

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 09:04 PM

And now we have the second scoreboard update, following the votes from Group 2:

59 Izar - Born Of A Star (Iz)
49 Praga Khan - Injected With A Poison (Ansel)
45 Fractal Dreamers - Paradigm Shift (Chez Wombat)
40 Tycoos & Sandro Mireno - A Place Where Love Is Born (Intro Mix)
39 Feryquitous – Shakah
31 Joe T. Vannelli Project feat. Harambee - Sweetest Day Of May (Greed's Euphorik Vocal Mix)
30 Prayer - Make Me Feel
28 The Blessed Madonna - He Is The Voice I Hear
24 High Contrast feat. LOWES - Rhythm Is Changing (WhoOdyssey)
24 Isha-D - Stay (Tonight)
23 DJ Mehdi - Pocket Piano
22 UNKLE - Sunrise (Always Come Around) (Doctor Blind)
20 Cedric Paul - Winter Spirit (Intro Mix)
18 In Love With A Ghost - Can I Be Your Internet Crush
16 Etienne Nogues - Piano In Trance (Y'all Starlight)
15 Chaos In The CBD feat. Nathan Haines & Dave Koor - Emotional Intelligence (danG)
12 Raul Orellana - Real Wild House (Colm)
12 Todd Terje - Strandbar (Disko Radio Edit) (Dandy*)
11 MACROSS 82-99 - Night In Tokyo Pt. II
10 DJ HEARTSTRING & Narciss - Heartbreak Repair System
09 ATRIP & Poté - Look At Me Dance
09 Headcase (Ryan Thistlebeck vs Rick M Edit) - When The Love
07 Barry Can't Swim - How It Feels
07 Melle Brown feat. Annie Mac - Feel About You
06 Adrian Boland - Follow the Path (Extended Mix)
05 Pianoman - Cast A Spell (Original Mix)
03 Alina Baraz, Galimatias & Hotel Garuda - Make You Feel (Hotel Garuda Remix)
03 Loveland vs Darlene Lewis - Let The Music Lift You Up
03 SI-FI – Remember (Brer)

Praise be! After the second group has voted, everyone is already off zero! Even though Iz voted in this group, his similarly named act Izar stay in the lead, now 10 points clear of Praga Khan, who we learn was sent by Ansel! Fractal Dreamers climb into third place while one of the trance entries, from the as-yet-unmasked participant behind Tycoos & Sandro Mireno, moves into fourth! Brer is propping up the scoreboard at this stage, but will there be any late surge later?

Posted by: Roba. 10th February 2024, 09:07 PM

Thanks for some points x

Posted by: Iz 🧊 10th February 2024, 09:09 PM

another 12 in that batch and more votes, I really didn't call being a contender here thank you thank you!

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 09:10 PM

So in Group 3, we get to find out what the very confident non-voter wobbleflop539 sent, as well as Addy!, awardinary, Dobbo, yours truly, and kath… predictions on who might have sent what here are welcome and the reveal and their votes will follow in a few minutes…

Posted by: King Rollo 10th February 2024, 09:12 PM

My song has a lot of catching up to do.

Posted by: jimwatts 10th February 2024, 09:13 PM

wobbleflop539 confirmed to be on less than half Iz's points post-deduction at this stage

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 09:15 PM

Not surprised Dobbo is behind that one and great picks from Wardy and Addy!

and wobble's was great too but awks.

Posted by: jimwatts 10th February 2024, 09:22 PM

I did think this was a bit of a giveaway... tis a bit of a tune though

Posted by: k👠th 10th February 2024, 09:22 PM

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 09:24 PM

Yeah, I thought that gave it away very quickly too. Good song (I like Blurred too) and it's a shame he didn't like enough songs here to be able to vote, as ultimately it has hurt a decent track.

Posted by: Y'all Starlight 10th February 2024, 09:24 PM

Thanks for the points Addy & Wardy!

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 09:27 PM

The votes from Group 3 have been counted, verified and added to the scoreboard ready for its third update:

84 Izar - Born Of A Star (Iz)
83 Praga Khan - Injected With A Poison (Ansel)
81 Tycoos & Sandro Mireno - A Place Where Love Is Born (Intro Mix)
56 Fractal Dreamers - Paradigm Shift (Chez Wombat)
55 Cedric Paul - Winter Spirit (Intro Mix)
44 Feryquitous – Shakah
43 Joe T. Vannelli Project feat. Harambee - Sweetest Day Of May (Greed's Euphorik Vocal Mix) (Dobbo)
40 Prayer - Make Me Feel
37 The Blessed Madonna - He Is The Voice I Hear (awardinary)
36 Isha-D - Stay (Tonight)
35 High Contrast feat. LOWES - Rhythm Is Changing (WhoOdyssey)
33 UNKLE - Sunrise (Always Come Around) (Doctor Blind)
28 DJ HEARTSTRING & Narciss - Heartbreak Repair System
25 Chaos In The CBD feat. Nathan Haines & Dave Koor - Emotional Intelligence (danG)
24 Etienne Nogues - Piano In Trance (Y'all Starlight)
23 DJ Mehdi - Pocket Piano (Addy!)
20 In Love With A Ghost - Can I Be Your Internet Crush
16 MACROSS 82-99 - Night In Tokyo Pt. II
16 Pianoman - Cast A Spell (Original Mix) (wobbleflop539)
15 Adrian Boland - Follow the Path (Extended Mix)
15 Raul Orellana - Real Wild House (Colm)
13 Barry Can't Swim - How It Feels
12 Todd Terje - Strandbar (Disko Radio Edit) (Dandy*)
11 Headcase (Ryan Thistlebeck vs Rick M Edit) - When The Love
09 ATRIP & Poté - Look At Me Dance (kath)
07 Melle Brown feat. Annie Mac - Feel About You (gooddelta)
03 Alina Baraz, Galimatias & Hotel Garuda - Make You Feel (Hotel Garuda Remix)
03 Loveland vs Darlene Lewis - Let The Music Lift You Up
03 SI-FI – Remember (Brer)

That’s tightened things up! A big rise in points for the top two, but Praga Khan got more from that group so closes the gap on Izar to just 1 point. The still unmasked participants behind Tycoos & Sandro Mireno and Cedric Paul rejoice as the trance fans in Group 3 push them up to third and fifth respectively, the former only three points from the top now!

Of the freshly unveiled songs in that group, it’s sadly not a good round for kath’s ATRIP & Poté and my own latest talky song from the unappreciated legendary DJ Annie Mac – both get zero in this round! wobbleflop539 will be hoping for a decent increase – so confident they are of a win, even with the incoming deduction, yet at this point it’s only 19th so will need a major rise – quickly – to be anywhere near contention. Addy! is riding midtable with the late DJ Mehdi and awardinary is currently top 10 with an early track by The Blessed Madonna!

Posted by: dandy* 10th February 2024, 09:28 PM

Todd Terje flopping! Y'all don't deserve him!

Honestly Strandbar is amazing

Posted by: Cody Cranston 10th February 2024, 09:29 PM

oh Fractal Dreamers is DEFO Chez coded, that's probably the only one I clocked from my listenthrough

Posted by: k👠th 10th February 2024, 09:29 PM

We stan Doctor Blind and Brer! Everyone else, they're dead 2 me x

Posted by: Roba. 10th February 2024, 09:30 PM

That's a fabulous top 4 atm!

Posted by: Iz 🧊 10th February 2024, 09:31 PM

now I just want to know if wobbleflop539 had even a couple of songs they liked

kath keeping my 12 streak per batch going <3

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 09:32 PM

Group 4 are next and consists of Cody Cranston, Jade, King Rollo, J00prstar and Mangø. How will these five shake up the scoreboard? Find out in a few minutes...

Posted by: Brer 10th February 2024, 09:34 PM

Anyone who didn't know Fractal Dreamers was Chez immediately is not paying enough attention

LMAO at me only having 3 points so far. Was it really that bad? (Thanks Nate at least xx)

Results looking pretty good aside from that so far. (Aside from DJ Mehdi being way too low)

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 09:37 PM

Group 4/6:

Cody Cranston sent… Feryquitous – Shakah
Jade sent… In Love With A Ghost - Can I Be Your Internet Crush
King Rollo sent… Cedric Paul - Winter Spirit (Intro Mix)
J00prstar sent… Alina Baraz, Galimatias & Hotel Garuda - Make You Feel (Hotel Garuda Remix)

EDIT: Ty J00p x

Posted by: Cody Cranston 10th February 2024, 09:48 PM

not Feryquitous being frontloaded af

Posted by: Brer 10th February 2024, 09:49 PM

Thanks Cody & Joop, up to double figures at least yay x

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 09:49 PM

Now let’s find out how the Group 4 voters have changed the scores on the doors:

98 Izar - Born Of A Star (Iz)
96 Tycoos & Sandro Mireno - A Place Where Love Is Born (Intro Mix)
93 Praga Khan - Injected With A Poison (Ansel)
89 Fractal Dreamers - Paradigm Shift (Chez Wombat)
75 Cedric Paul - Winter Spirit (Intro Mix) (King Rollo)
65 Prayer - Make Me Feel
51 Joe T. Vannelli Project feat. Harambee - Sweetest Day Of May (Greed's Euphorik Vocal Mix) (Dobbo)
49 The Blessed Madonna - He Is The Voice I Hear (awardinary)
44 Feryquitous – Shakah (Cody Cranston)
43 UNKLE - Sunrise (Always Come Around) (Doctor Blind)
41 High Contrast feat. LOWES - Rhythm Is Changing (WhoOdyssey)
41 Isha-D - Stay (Tonight) (Mangø)
40 MACROSS 82-99 - Night In Tokyo Pt. II
38 DJ HEARTSTRING & Narciss - Heartbreak Repair System
35 Chaos In The CBD feat. Nathan Haines & Dave Koor - Emotional Intelligence (danG)
34 Pianoman - Cast A Spell (Original Mix) (wobbleflop539)
31 Etienne Nogues - Piano In Trance (Y'all Starlight)
28 DJ Mehdi - Pocket Piano (Addy!)
28 Headcase (Ryan Thistlebeck vs Rick M Edit) - When The Love
26 In Love With A Ghost - Can I Be Your Internet Crush (Jade)
23 Raul Orellana - Real Wild House (Colm)
16 ATRIP & Poté - Look At Me Dance (kath)
15 Adrian Boland - Follow the Path (Extended Mix)
15 Barry Can't Swim - How It Feels
13 Loveland vs Darlene Lewis - Let The Music Lift You Up
13 Todd Terje - Strandbar (Disko Radio Edit) (Dandy*)
10 SI-FI – Remember (Brer)
07 Melle Brown feat. Annie Mac - Feel About You (gooddelta)
03 Alina Baraz, Galimatias & Hotel Garuda - Make You Feel (Hotel Garuda Remix) (J00prstar)

Well that’s made it all a bit too close for comfort. Izar from Iz narrowly remain in the lead but this time it’s the STILL unmasked Tycoos & Sandro Mireno who jump into second place! But Ansel’s Praga Khan isn’t giving up yet and is only a few points adrift of the top in third place. It’s another good round for Chez’s Fractal Dreamers, who are also still in contention, but some others drop back after receiving few or no votes, with Brer climbing above me and my mega flop and J00prstar now sadly in last.

Of the others unmasked in this group, Cody is still doing well with Feryquitous but this group’s votes didn’t help him out, Jade is currently 20th, and King Rollo is currently impressing in the top five with Cedric Paul. Mangø, meanwhile, is close to the top ten!

Posted by: Roba. 10th February 2024, 09:49 PM

Good pick from Mango. Sounded very Kylie and Madonna mixed in one!

Posted by: King Rollo 10th February 2024, 09:50 PM

Thanks to all who have given points to 'Winter Spirit' so far, especially Dobbo and Jade for the 12s. After a slow start, it's moved up the scoreboard a bit.

Eek, well...two points in it now, and Izar hang on...for now. Praga Khan is right behind and Fractal Dreamers are up to third! There's a mini trance battle also taking place in the top five, while there are some surprisingly low scorers down the other end.

The final group…Group 6, will be revealing their votes individually, with a scoreboard update after each vote. Jimwatts, All★bySmashMouth and then uhsting will let us know how they voted, and Roba – who was the last to vote, has also been selected to provide the final vote tonight!

03 Alina Baraz, Galimatias & Hotel Garuda - Make You Feel (Hotel Garuda Remix) (J00prstar)

Well, that changes things. Poor Iz has been leading since the first scoreboard but Jimwatts, despite high support for Iz, gave the 12 to Praga Khan, helping Ansel into the lead with his 90s rave hit! CowP’s Tycoos & Sandro Mireno are lifted over the 100 points mark and back onto the podium and we learn here that Jimwatts sent Prayer, who are doing very well in 6th place right now!

Ooh, Praga Khan climbs further ahead with 10 in this vote, but Izar get 5 here so are not out of the running. But let’s celebrate 12 for awardinary’s entry by The Blessed Madonna, which climbs into 6th place! Elsehwere, J00prstar’s entry finally gets a second vote but remains at the bottom, while we discover that All★bySmashMouth was behind MACROSS 82-99, which has done perfectly respectfully just above midtable currently.

Posted by: jimwatts 10th February 2024, 10:29 PM

My top 3 were very close but I think that's how they ended up - good luck Iz and Ansel! Colm far too low.

Thanks Kath for introducing me to 'Make Me Feel' through ETOTW *.* I didn't really have anything for this competition but thought why not, even though I'd already charted it (#10 in my final weekly chart of 2023). Thank you for all the points so far, especially Doctor B for setting me off with a silver and J00p for another later on

Wow, is it all over? Praga Khan get 10 from uhsting while Izar get 6, meaning the former's lead is now 11 points. Iz is going to need the full 12 from Roba, with Praga Khan getting nothing, to win at this point…it seems like a tall order, can Roba deliver? Find out soon, but let’s highlight the 12 pointer here, Cedric Paul is assured of a top five finish now, as are fellow trance entry Tycoos & Sandro Mireno who jump back to third in a continued epic tussle for the bronze medal! We extend our own thanks to uhsting for helping us out of the bottom five (phew!), and we note that his own entry is currently 18th! Roba, it’s over to you…

It's a huge congratulations to Ansel, who has never finished above 9th before but wins in style with the rave anthem from Praga Khan, 20 points clear of 2nd place! What a great choice, which attracted four 12s, three 10s and three 8s from 21 voters – the most this contest! Very well done to you.

After leading the live reveal for most of the show, Izar from Iz couldn’t quite go all the way but 2nd is a fantastic position and it also took home four 12s, three 10s and three 8s, albeit from 20 voters. It’s a third runner-up for Iz in Club Bizarre history, surely a win is just around the corner?

The highest trance entry rounds off the top three, well done to CowP for sending a great track from Tycoos & Sandro Mireno, exceeding his previous personal best of 8th place after receiving eight medal positions from the song’s 16 voters!

Chez Wombat scored the most 12s in this edition, with five for Fractal Dreamers and that gives him a convincing fourth place this round, while King Rollo rounds off the top five with another trance intro track, from Cedric Paul. The top five attracted a LOT of votes between them and were comfortably ahead of the rest of the pack – congratulations to you five!

A round of applause too though to awardinary and Jimwatts, because their entries from The Blessed Madonna and Prayer scored really well in sixth and seventh, with Prayer 19 points ahead of several entries that scored in the 50s!

Top ten results too this month for Cody Cranston, Mangø and danG who makes the top ten by a whisker, a point ahead of two entries on 53 points.

So, onto the business of the other end. In last place it’s sadly J00prstar with a tropical house remake of a ballad, on only 4 points. Brer’s SI-FI gets only 10 points overall while very surprisingly to me, Todd Terje from Dandy* is third last with 13 points, scoring almost all of those from the first revealed group of voters. TheSnake and kath are also in the bottom five, in a weird position that was tied by every metric.

It's a massive comedown for me too, as Melle Brown and Annie Mac’s summer house jam finishes 22nd with 29 points but we thank our four lovely voters for their support *.*

Meanwhile, wobbleflop539 did send a decent entry in Pianoman, but it was never in contention for the win. Taken down with the 33% deduction, it finishes 21st, but would have otherwise been 13th – unlucky!

Thank you so much for joining us, it’s been a pleasure to host a theme I’ve wanted to do for a little while and I’ve made a lot of good discoveries to take away. Over to Ansel to reveal plans for the 27th edition of Club Bizarre!

Posted by: J00prstar 10th February 2024, 10:43 PM

I didn't expect to do any better, that was a very last minute entry, I overthiught the theme. This was fun though, well done & super hosting!

Posted by: Iz 🧊 10th February 2024, 10:44 PM

Congratulations Ansel! I did really think that sounded like a winner and it was one of the best tracks here, so very happy with that, and I'm very pleased that 'Born With A Star' was a hit with so many of you, really pleased given I remembered almost by chance that it had a prominent piano as I was casting around for an entry. Fractal Dreamers and Winter Spirit in the top 5 are also both fantastic successes, really pleased to see both do well.

Thanks for hosting Rich, that was a fun reveal especially with me leading for so long.

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 10:44 PM

Final scoreboard is here:

https://i.ibb.co/TKx0vSp/Club-Piano-scoreboard.png

This shows the votes in order of receipt. Tycoos was actually leading for quite a while but Izar and Praga Khan overtook about a third of the way in. Sorry to do that to you Iz! Random.org chose the entire order apart from the way the final four was presented, which I just shuffled a tiny bit to keep the suspense up to the final vote.

Posted by: danG 10th February 2024, 10:45 PM

a huge congrats to Ansel there, 161 points is a record breaking score!

Posted by: Jade 10th February 2024, 10:46 PM

Oops well that was a bit of a flop

Nice to see two of my medals book-ending the top 5 though! Congrats to Ansel on the win - what a banger *.*

Thanks Rich for a wonderful hosting job! I enjoyed the switch-up of the results delivery.

Posted by: Ansel 10th February 2024, 10:46 PM

wow thank you everyone who voted for Praga Khan - especially Colm, Leww, Jim and Roba for the 12s! I had never heard of this song before when I found it so my bad if it's slightly more well-known than I thought at the time. Etienne Nogues deserved to finish higher, but I'm glad to see a lot of my faves in the top ten too!
Thanks for hosting, gooddelta

Posted by: danG 10th February 2024, 10:48 PM

surprised I managed to sneak top 10 in the end but yay, it seemed to have a poor reception on synctube so was expecting mid table for it. yay for Cow P making top 3 with a right trance banger too.

Posted by: Roba. 10th February 2024, 10:52 PM

Big congrats to Ansel. What an absolute anthem that is and also happy that the top 4 remained the same too. Chez's was in my commiserations but still a fine piece nonetheless.

18th is better than anticipated considering it was on the rather tacky side but was fun imo too. I realise that there was only one part of piano in it at the start and not very prominent though oop.

Shame Addy is lower down though but great to be back to back with his gem too!

Thanks for hosting Rich. A very exciting and creative way of revealing it all and a very solid contest for the most part too!

Posted by: jimwatts 10th February 2024, 10:54 PM

Congratulations Ansel on a first Club Bizarre win an excellent top 6, Chez's entry was just outside my votes and the others all got points from me.

Thanks Rob for the last 6 points - 6th would have been my highest CB finish but happy for Wardy to take it, and I'm delighted with another 7th after the 'Big Drops' contest, especially having done fairly dismally in the editions in between.

Thank you Rich for the wonderful hosting

Posted by: awardinary 10th February 2024, 10:57 PM

Delighted for you Ansel! Always great to have a first time winner!

6th is great for me and thank you Rich for hosting a great show!

Posted by: King Rollo 10th February 2024, 10:57 PM

Congratulations Ansel on your first Club Bizarre win. I remembered the song from 1992, the featured singer is credited as Jade 4 U.

5th place is a good finish for my song, thanks to all who gave it points.

Fantastic hosting job, gooddelta.

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 10:58 PM

Thanks all for following this evening, and for the kind words.

Really made up to be able to announce a first-time winner, and a record breaker at that!

Posted by: Brer 10th February 2024, 11:03 PM

Congrats Ansel, I did already know the song but haven't heard it for god knows how long so was more than happy to revisit and it's a well deserved winner as it was definitely one of the best songs here. Great to see two of my medals finishing as the top 2 as those 3 songs were my clear standouts (another great breakcore choice from Iz, I did have a feeling that might be yours) but sucks to see DJ Mehdi not doing nearly as well, with my votes providing over a quarter of its total points </3

I can't really blame Chez's continued serial self recycling when it continues to produce results but this was the weakest of the three he's sent by Fractal Dreamers/Helblinde (am I forgetting a fourth? xx) although still very good so the results for all of them feel about right. I wasn't crazy about the two trance songs in the top 5 as per usual but Cedric Paul was the better of the two imo. Happy to see Prayer and Feryquitous in the top 10 too.

I knew I wasn't going to do particularly well but I really don't think this deserved to be my biggest flop ever (which it was by some distance with fewer than half the points of my previous lowest despite the high turnout), ah well! This theme clearly not my forte. And I do have good company in that bottom 5, wtf are ATRIP and Todd Terje doing being that low too? And Joop you are very rude stealing my wooden spoon!!! Thanks for being my biggest supporter with your 5 points though

Thanks for hosting Rich, I really need to pull out some stops to do a bit better in the next edition x

Argh at there being an actual exact tie for 25th.

Posted by: Colm 10th February 2024, 11:06 PM

Injected with a Poison is one of my favourite rave songs and I really should have sent it myself. It's such a rush.

Well done, Ansel

Posted by: Chez Wombat 10th February 2024, 11:12 PM

Hey I fooled a few people, that works This was actually my back-up choice, as my first choice was technically my first ever veto as it was deemed not dance-y enough, I did submit them together as I sensed it could go that way I'll keep my protestations at similar orchestral entries being allowed through before to myself xx

...However, this is wonderful to see, 2nd again would've stung a bit so a solid 4th is really good to see, especially as it seemed to get quite a tumbleweed reaction at the listenthrough. It's part of the wonderful Kingdom of Silence EP from which I also sent Fortuna Redux to the Drum'n'Bass edition (the genres they span are amazing x). Thank you all for the votes, especially all those 12s which is wonderful to see, this isfurther justification that I will just keep inflicting their material on every song contest (sadly new material has been scarce </3)

Congrats to Ansel on a convincing win, it was one of the more standout of the many 90s entries here and did sound familiar. Painful for Iz to be 2nd again, but great to see one of the highlights doing so well, Just Todd Terje from my votes being done dirty, still no justice from BJSC I guess :'(

I didn't think In Love With a Ghost would be Jade! This one didn't quite make my votes, but they were one of my favourite YouTube finds back in the day and they have a lush mellow sound to them, I would recommend flowers in particular if you don't already know it <3

Great job with hosting, Rich, sorry I wasn't here to follow it live x



Fortuna Redux here, and Azure of the Horizon in BJSC x (and Helblinde in BJSC Halloween)

Posted by: Brer 10th February 2024, 11:23 PM

Ah yes I forgot about 'Fortuna Redux' (I thought 'Azure Of The Horizon' was the one you sent to CB before and just forgot you also sent them to the main BJSC). I think I'd rank them The Solace Of Oblivion > Fortuna Redux > Azure Of The Horizon > Paradigm Shift so their results not quite being in order of quality. But they did still all make the top 5 of my votes in their respective contests so not huge differences in quality anyway x

Posted by: Cody Cranston 10th February 2024, 11:27 PM

Congrats Ansel glad that my top pointer did so well (even though it means I had the worst performing artcore entry ) but what happened with the others? I thought DJ Heartstring would have at least clinched a top 10

Feryquitous is relatively new to the BEMANI scene but has also released through Diverse System and her songs have populated other rhythm games like Arcaea. The discography is mostly artcore but songs like this showcase her versatility (even if it still has those complextro elements)

Posted by: Brer 10th February 2024, 11:32 PM

I think I remember describing Feryquitous on SyncTube as 'osu!-core' but didn't realise it actually was a rhythm game song haha.

Posted by: Brer 10th February 2024, 11:39 PM

(btw I feel obligated to point out for stats thread purposes that ties should be broken by number of votes, so Dobbo/Whoddy should be swapped over and Roba should be behind Addy/Nate, but ofc still no way to break the 25th place tie)

Posted by: TheSnake 10th February 2024, 11:43 PM

Can't believe Ansel with Praga Khan (and Jade4U) won it it sounded like a very marmite track to me (although I liked it).

Posted by: Cody Cranston 10th February 2024, 11:43 PM

this particular song isn't in any rhythm games as far as i'm aware but some others were which is cool

Posted by: gooddelta 10th February 2024, 11:46 PM

Oh, sorry, will update.

Edit: all done.

Posted by: Mangø 10th February 2024, 11:53 PM

Well done to Ansel, that Praga Khan song is a certifiable rave classic and a deserved winner! I'm delighted with my top 10 finish, that's significantly better than I thought I was going to do, given how poppy Isha-D was compared to most of the songs sent. Thanks also to WhoOdyssey for the 12 points and Roba for the comment! Let's see if I can improve next time x

Never say you're defo gonna win

Thanks Rich for hosting! Amazing winner yaurrr

Posted by: dandy* 11th February 2024, 12:10 AM

Oh dear! I think that must be my worst result ever in any contest on the site oooops!

Ah well, I do still adore Strandbar so no regrets. Congratulations Ansel on your first victory! And thanks to Rich for hosting so brilliantly

Posted by: Brer 11th February 2024, 12:13 AM

I am legitimately baffled by that result for Todd Terje - then again even 'Inspector Norse' DNQed in BJSC so the site's lack of taste with regard to him isn't a new development.

Posted by: wobbleflop539 11th February 2024, 01:30 AM

This is a TRAVESTY! people worked out what my entry was from day 1 and purposely Didn't vote for it, or gave me low points! this is SABOTAGE!
So if you take all that into account, plus the 33% deduction, I actually did come away with the WIN! so I hereby declare myself the TRUE Club Bizarre Vol.26 WINNER!
A big thank you to everyone that voted. This means a lot to me, It was my first comp and my first WIN.
Hopefully I can come away with the double next time and remain UNDEFEATED.
Finally I want to give a big shout out to our runner up Ansel, you were a worthy contender.

Posted by: Cow P 11th February 2024, 04:33 AM

Haha, I wasn't really aiming for a top 3 finish. It wasn't as 'discovery' as my Kohta Imafuku entry 2 years ago, for it was more of a homage to Sandro Mireno who finally got his first ASOT Top 40 last year! Happy to know it got translated into a new personal CB peak.

Thanks goodelta, uhsting, Wardy, Nate, Rollo, Chez Wombat, Dobbo, Jim, Iz, Dan, Colm, Cody, Addy, Mango, Snake, and Roba for the votes!

Congratulations Ansel for the new addition of your achievement gallery! Looking forward to your theme of the contest as I have some good Latin/Spanish-influenced EDM songs on my playlist.

Wow this stats update is a trainwreck for me, falling behind Rollo who's entered 4 fewer contests than me

Posted by: Dobbo 12th February 2024, 12:35 PM

Huge congrats to Ansel, that's an insane score! I actually knew this song before the contest, I'd obviously discovered it from somewhere as it was in one of my huge Spotify playlists. Still bangs

Brilliant results as all of my top 4 finished in the top 5 (and the other was my 4-pointer anyway) so the taste was on point this volume. Decent showing by me entry, very tight at the top 10 cut-off wasn't it! Great to get the full points from the host

So Michael DID make the contest in the end just under an alias

Thanks to gooddelta for hosting this.

not me getting a BIG DROP

Posted by: gooddelta 12th February 2024, 12:58 PM

Partly due to the size of the contest but a lot of people got their worst ever results in terms of position, including me, oops.

I've flopped both times now with the songs I've chosen for my own themes

Still, it was really nice to see some new names shining brightly at the top end in this edition.

As for people downvoting wobbleflop539, I doubt many people did work out which entry was yours and, either way, half of the participants voted for you. Only five other entries attracted more actual voters. It was a consistently well liked song but even before the deduction was well over 100 points behind Ansel's winner. It was definitely never in any sort of contention, nor was it marked down by anyone (indeed, the only person who knew for sure it was your entry was me - it was my ninth favourite song and I duly gave it 2 points and didn't deduct it despite the drama).

oop at me coming last in the average points leaderboard

What a disaster for me

Posted by: Addy! 12th February 2024, 05:30 PM

Congrats to Ansel on your fist CB win. Great track

Also thank you Rich for wonderful hosting duties <3

I must say I’m not surprised at Dj Mehdi placement, it’s hard to stand out on a theme like this, but at least I avoided bottom 5!!!
