Well, it's all over in Lotunia for the 145th BuzzJack Song Contest, and the results are in and it turns out we have achieved our best result ever in the contest! 7th place is where we ended up after switching positions several times at the top of the leaderboard. It is two places higher than the last record achieved in BJSC 133 with Mint Royale. Mayra Verónica has served our nation well with a song that is almost a decade old, but perhaps it was a familiar sample from Paul Johnson that struck a chord with many listeners.

Thank you to the 27 participants who gave us points in the final (5 short of the national record), especially to Tartford & New Lexico for the 18's and Eastovka, Greenfroze, Jupiterdonia and Yobnedorica for a silver medal position! cheer.gif

Wish we could give you a +18 for a top 5 finish. Unfortunately at the same time, Utopia also sent a bop. sad.gif

Congrats Wardy on your new highest result. If anything was going to topple Mint Royale for you then this was the right one!

BJSC 146 Entry (July 2022)

Artist: Samuel Jack
Song: Feels Like Summer


British singer-songwriter Samuel Jack is renowned for his rugged soulful vocals and emotive lyricism. The London born artist spent his formative years in Johannesburg, with his film director Father. His unique and undeniably catchy sound oozes with the rich fabric of his colourful and nomadic upbringing. Raised on Blues, Motown, soul and roots music, he aims to produce something with indisputablehonesty and authenticity.

Feels Like Summer exploded around the world and quickly became the 2021 song of the summer. The Paul Woolford Remix was released in September. Boasting the artist’s character-filled vocals layered over a pulsating bass, the track is a shimmering ode to living in a joyful moment, which is set alight with the triumphant burst of trumpet instrumentation. And, with a music video offering the scenes of a carefree day spent soaking in the sun, the project becomes all the more summery.

Original Release Date: June 14th, 2019

From my highest ever final result in BJSC 145 to my lowest ever final result in BJSC 146! tongue.gif

Zanmatony have no regrets over their choice to send Samuel Jack to the most recent contest, and are grateful to the 12 participating nations who decided to award us some points, especially East Rukahavian for the silver medal position. The song choice was very seasonal and appropriate for all the hot weather we have been experiencing this year, and now that we have submitted a song about Winter, Spring and Summer all in 2022, there is only one thing that can follow, find out in October! wink.gif

Here is how Zanmatony voted in the second Semi Final of BJSC 146;

+12 Technical Hitch – Psycho Celtic {Beaverdonia} [QUALIFIED]
+10 Sassy 009 – Blue Racecar {Dobago} [QUALIFIED]
+8 Hudson Mohawke – Bicstan {FSR Rontvia} [QUALIFIED]
+7 Bunga Bangsa – Prahara Rusaking Jagad {Eastovka} [QUALIFIED]
+6 La Fuente – I Want You {Yehesi} [QUALIFIED]
+5 Ladytron – Ghosts {Yobnedorica} [QUALIFIED]
+4 Bonkr – I Don't Want It (Extended Mix) {East Rukahavian} [DID NOT QUALIFY]
+3 Alfie Templeman – Candyfloss {The Actual Republic of Bellamia} [QUALIFIED]
+2 Nothing But Funk – So Good {Niceland} [DID NOT QUALIFY]
+1 Paola & Chiara – Vamos A Bailar (Esta Vida Nueva) {Jadakissnia} [QUALIFIED]

Here is how Zanmatony voted in the Final of BJSC 146;

+18 Hudson Mohawke – Bicstan {FSR Rontvia} [4th]
+15 Technical Hitch – Psycho Celtic {Beaverdonia} [15th]
+13 La Fuente – I Want You {Yehesi} [32nd]
+12 Solardo, Vintage Culture & LOWES – Adidas & Pearls {Aquafina} [7th]

+2 Ladytron – Ghosts {Yobnedorica} [20th]
+1 Alfie Templeman – Candyfloss {The Actual Republic of Bellamia } [13th]

The winner was not someone which we gave points to this time surprisingly, but well done to Cor Lupus on winning the 146th song contest.

So here we are, following the late results last night, and we have only gone and smashed our record that was achieved just two contests ago! The final result was 4th place, just one away from a medallist position, but nonetheless, our first ever Top 5 final position, and it's all thanks to the girls of VENUS who sang their hearts out on the pop banger Amplifier. wub.gif

Thanks to the volume of voters and the high points awarded, we were also able to break the record achieved in BJSC 98, for most final points received, finishing with a respectable total of 252! dance.gif Three +18 points were awarded, which is the joint highest for any contest since BJSC 97 when Paradisio received three maximum point awards in the final with Bailando.

Thank you to the 30 participants who gave us points in the final (2 short of the national record), especially to FARC, POPHub and Summericia for the gold medals, FSR Rontvia for the silver medals and to Hushkanukia & Yehesi for the bronze medals! cheer.gif

Yay thanks Dobbo! Great to have some hype thrown your way. I am glad I could switch things up this month with a true dance banger! It’s been a while since Zanmatony graced BJSC with one of those! kink.gif

So, after leading much of the way through the first half of the results yesterday, it was clear that there would be a big shortage of points in the second half, and that proved to be the case as Dance Machine 96 fell from a first place position to a 21st place final position. It is still a unique final position for Zanmatony, but it feels a little deflating being in the lead for a long period to fall so far from grace. blush.gif

All that said, thank you to the 20 people who voted for DJ Reiz in the final of BJSC 148, especially those who awarded medal positions; Bøtanikkä, Danæviia and Dobago for the gold medals, and Jadakissnia & Thelonia for the bronze medals! cheer.gif

BJSC 149 Entry (October 2022)

Artist: Coldcut
Song: Autumn Leaves


Coldcut are British production duo Matt Black & Jonathan More. During their long career, which began in 1986, they have encompassed a wide range of styles from hip hop and rap to electronica and jazz-inflected sounds. Coldcut are also considered the first stars of UK electronic dance music due to their innovative style, which featured cut-up samples of hip-hop, soul, funk, spoken word and various other types of music, as well as video and multimedia.

Autumn Leaves was originally composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945 with original lyrics by Jacques Prévert in French (original French title: "Les Feuilles mortes"), and later by Johnny Mercer in English. The version by Coldcut features vocals by Janis Alexander, and was released as a single in 1994, peaking at #50 on the UK Singles Chart. The song had strings recorded at Abbey Road, with a 30-piece string section and an arrangement by film composer Ed Shearmur. The leader of the string section was Simon Jeffes of Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

Original Release Date: 10th January, 1994

So the dream ended here. The longest streak that this nation has managed to date ends at a record of 8 contests. The culprit was the marvellously overlooked Autumn Leaves by Coldcut, an all time favourite chillout song and one that many slept on (in some cases quite literally). However, it is not the end of Zanmatony, and we will continue to be represented in the future. Thanks for all the love and support during much of 2022 that gave us both our best finishing position to date, as well as our longest qualification streak to date too.

Here are Zanmatony's votes for the second semi final of BJSC 149;

+12 PVA – Untethered {Thelonia} [QUALIFIED]
+10 220 KID & ÁSDÍS – Realease {Oslol} [QUALIFIED]
+8 Ruth Royall – Appletree {Flynnonda} [DID NOT QUALIFY]
+7 NERIAH – Lego Blocks {Mulgracia} [QUALIFIED]

+4 Principe Valiente – Strangers In The Night {Summericia} [QUALIFIED]
+3 Los Bitchos – Good To Go! {Jadakissnia} [QUALIFIED]
+2 Ulrikke – Young {Hushkanukia} [QUALIFIED]
+1 Clara Luciani – La Grenade {Kluminican Republic} [QUALIFIED]

These are the final votes submitted;

+18 PVA – Untethered {Thelonia} [4th]
+15 220 KID & ÁSDÍS – Release {Oslol} [1st]
+13 Three 'N One Presents Johnny Shaker – Pearl River (Feat. Serial Diva) {Tartford} [23rd]

BJSC 150 Entry (November 2022)

Artist: Fourward feat. Dakota Sixx
Song: How


Austrian electronic outfit Fourward started out producing music in early 2007. All members have different musical backgrounds which fit together perfectly and provide a great studio vibe. After spending over a decade as a quartet, Fourward now consists of members Ludwig and Lukas, both of whom have ensured that the outstanding levels of quality and dynamism that the project has become synonymous with have stayed true to the Fourward sound.

Songwriter and vocalist, Dakota Sixx, has received support from some of the biggest platforms and names in pop culture: Complex, BBC 1, 1Xtra, Mixmag, UKF and many more. Dakota’s ability to offer versatility has meant that her vocals can be found across all genres, yet never straying too far away from her own unique style of clever wordplay and catchy hooks.

According to Fourward, How went through many different versions before the final version was chosen. Of the song, the duo describe it as “a nice and crunchy chord progression/riff, which is the basis of the track. The vocals from Dakota fit the track so perfectly and even though she is a relatively new artist she managed to pull this off like a pro!”

Original Release Date: 22nd May, 2020

Worldvision VII Entry (December 2022)

Assignment: Malmö (Sweden)
Artist: Moonbabies
Song: War On Sound


Moonbabies is a Swedish duo formed in 1997 by vocalists, multi-instrumentalists, producers, and songwriters Ola Frick (Vocals, guitar and various instruments) and Carina Johansson (Vocals and keyboards). Their earliest efforts recalled early Indie/Shoegazer influences by bands like My Bloody Valentine, Ride and The Pixies, but with their 2004 album The Orange Billboard, developed into more sophisticated pop music with a touch of The Beach Boys and The Beatles.

War on Sound was released in 2007 and became an immediate indie-anthem and followed success on radio and TV-shows like Grey's Anatomy. The music video is directed by Eric Althin and Shannon Althin.

Original Release Date: January 1st, 2007
