BJSC 142 Entry (February 2022)

Artist: Transa
Song: Timeless


Transa is an EDM production unit composed of brothers Dave and Brenden Webster, also known as Cascade and Catcher. Based in Great Britain, they have produced mostly trance music over their career, but have slipped into the realm of progressive house on occasion. They have remixed for BT, Art of Trance, Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, Vengaboys, Armin van Buuren, Blue Amazon and Alice Deejay.

Of the song Timeless they recently uploaded an official video to YouTube 20 years after the release of their album Chronology, and this what they had to say about it; “Timeless is an ambient piece we did which really lives up to its name. A piano led piece, with a subtle backdrop of strings, with an atmospheric and filmic soundscape.“

Original Release Date: 2002

Thank you to all the nations who gave points to Transa! A truly special chilled ambient song I have known about for many years and perhaps was somewhat reluctant to share with others, but glad I found new fans for the song. Thank you for assisting Zanmatony to achieve it's 10th unique final position, just a single position higher than the last contest, making up a quarter of all possible final positions! cheer.gif

Next time we hope to bring you something fresh and that will appeal to the pop bloc (maybe).

Glad that you did decide to finally enter this then, really hits the right spot for relaxation music for me - a little disappointed at it finishing as low as 34th but it was close to not making the final at all so shouldn't complain too much.

(glad to see that it is presumably due to be added to Spotify soon, will definitely be adding it to my best of 2022 playlist so that will be helpful to have one less local file x)

BJSC 143 Entry (March 2022)

Artist: LYRA
Song: Lose My Mind [Shane Codd Remix]


LYRA is an Irish singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. She has highlighted her love of Irish "luminaries" Enya and Sinéad O'Connor, artists whom critics, among others such as Kate Bush and Florence and the Machine, have subsequently likened her music to. She appeared on the 30th anniversary rework of U2's The Joshua Tree alongside other Irish artists Imelda May, Gavin James and Kodaline. She has appeared at such festivals as the Great Escape, Music Cork, Latitude, and Electric Picnic.

Lose My Mind was written and co-produced by LYRA and Dane Etteridge (former Ordinary Boys guitarist), it was mixed by Grammy nominated Darren Heelis (Sam Smith, Tom Walker, Liam Payne) in the US. LYRA is quoted as having said “I had so much fun with this single, it is a song about losing all your inhibitions, being free of mind, the idea that you can be possessed and yet exhilarated at the same time”. Irish DJ Shane Codd has delivered a high tempo driven dance track that infuses summer beats and his signature dance-pop sound, resulting in a remix that combines LYRA’s sonic Celtic beats with Shane Codd’s euphoric dance production and his influences from the 90’s and early 2000 sound.

On a very personal note, Zanmatony was very honoured to be asked to represent our friends from Danæviia for this contest; the first time we have participated in a Masquerade themed contest. Danæviia are one of our closest allies and have been avid followers of BJSC since their inception. We were so happy to be able to send their current state president Gareth Emery as the chosen artist for this contest, and we are thrilled with Danæviia‘s reaction to our decision! smile.gif

Wonderful news received today that a new national qualification record has been achieved;
QUOTE(Brer @ May 5 2022, 02:24 AM) *
Zanmatony set a new best after matching their previous record of 3 last month (although they are still one away from matching their record in non-consecutive contests).

Thank you to everybody who helped TEARS OF TRAGEDY qualify in the 144th BJSC. It becomes our fourth consecutive qualifier and helps us to maintain a 100% qualification streak for 2022. One more consecutive qualification will match another record set for Zanmatony for longest qualification streak with a break in between.

Incidentally our longest DNQ streak also remains to be 4 which happened between BJSC 93-96.

See you in the final! happy.gif

Zanmatony is thrilled to announce another excellent result for another BJSC final. Japanese artists TEARS OF TRAGEDY went on to score many points and also become the best performing entry so far of 2022, managing a final position of 29th! Our qualification streak was extended to 4 which is a new record achieved for our nation, and our current streak has left us with these final positions - 35-34-30-29. Each time we have made progress, and it seems that we will look to continue this trend into the next contest too.

It has been brought to our attention by Bré, that our nation have now reached the Top 100 counties for all-time points achieved!

I can hear Yolanda Be Cool similarities in the start of this and then that 'Get Down' song from the 90's in the middle. It's quite the bop I must say happy.gif
