Welcome back to Club Bizarre! The second instalment of the Dance Forum Song Contest and this time we will be diving into the genre of...




We will be employing a similar framework to last time however as eurodance tends to be defined as a rather loose term we may be slightly less strict during the vetting process. This most certainly doesn't mean you can go submitting super-cheap, mega-chart smashes though so please retain an element of inspiration! After all, these contests are all about sharing & discovery

Please PM myself (http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=20053) with your entry as below:

Yes! Looking forward to this!

Between 1993 and 2008 there was a lot of Eurodance around and being made, less so after but there are still Eurodance tracks being created, so there is a big selection of possible tracks.

Im confused by what Eurodance you mean a genre or a dance act from Europe?

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 6 2018, 05:01 PM

The genre, generally fast tempo, hi-NRG/techno with some crossover with house. The act can be from anywhere!

Posted by: Jade Jan 6 2018, 05:18 PM

Confirmed <3 I have stumbled across something a bit cheesy but an instant high-energy bop, from the nineties *.*

Posted by: BridgeCow Jan 6 2018, 05:20 PM

Yesss great theme will have to spend a while searching for something but I will definitely enter!!

Posted by: The Snake Jan 6 2018, 05:21 PM

There's a lot of variety in eurodance. After all 2 Unlimited, Star Pilots and Flip and Fill were all eurodance but sound very different.

Posted by: Sugarplumberella Jan 6 2018, 05:23 PM

deffo 100% doing this

Posted by: Bré Jan 6 2018, 05:26 PM

I have even less idea of how I'll find a suitable song for this than in the first edition but I'll have a go ofc (and hopefully might do a bit better than bottom 2 this time x)

Posted by: M. Jan 6 2018, 05:51 PM

I've confirmed something! Found some pretty enjoyable songs in this genre after this opened, it's normally not a genre I'm erudite in

(I hope it's a discovery for most people, it doesn't seem to have done anything in the UK at least)

Posted by: lewistgreen Jan 6 2018, 06:24 PM

Confirmed with a 1995 banger.

Posted by: The Snake Jan 6 2018, 06:26 PM

Spoiler alert!

Anyway, I don't know whether to go for something newer or older!

Posted by: CodyOfTheWoods Jan 6 2018, 06:29 PM

I have some ideas but at the same time I don’t, so I may do some more digging before I settle for one.

Posted by: lewistgreen Jan 6 2018, 06:55 PM

I actually feel like this would've been a great opportunity for MC BOING

Posted by: Jüpiter Jan 6 2018, 09:50 PM

Confirmed this time around :3

Posted by: BridgeCow Jan 6 2018, 10:11 PM

Confirmed! Found it pretty randomly but it's quite a tune

Posted by: M. Jan 7 2018, 01:07 PM

I've changed my entry I do prefer this one so it feels right to send it.

Posted by: travis Jan 7 2018, 03:04 PM

Submitted an absolute banger from 2006! Hope it passes veto because I have no clue what else I could send

Posted by: Addyland Jan 7 2018, 08:30 PM

Omg yes at this...i have so many of those...can I submit like 20 of them?!

Posted by: travis Jan 9 2018, 02:23 AM

Reconfirmed because I wanna try something a bit more risky!

Posted by: Bré Jan 10 2018, 05:24 PM

Finally confirmed something, I might reconfirm if I find anything else in the next few days.

I was this close to sending a Scatman John album track or something

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 12 2018, 09:26 PM

Just over 24 hours to enter for those still intending on & haven't yet!

Posted by: Addyland Jan 13 2018, 01:40 AM

I might actually change my entry...its hard when you love both of them!!!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Jan 13 2018, 03:33 PM

I've got to find something for this during my 8 hours of revision

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 13 2018, 06:38 PM

Be good to get to 20 entrants again so need 7 more!

Posted by: Sugarplumberella Jan 13 2018, 06:40 PM

omg im gonna enter, i dont rly know what to go with :S

Posted by: Addyland Jan 13 2018, 06:51 PM

I totally feel you sis.

We should all sent 2+ entries to this at least lol.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Jan 13 2018, 10:17 PM

Entered! Gone with my usual trick of randomly selecting a song less than 2 hours before the deadline

Posted by: The Snake Jan 13 2018, 10:22 PM

I have gone with that trick this time too! Entered (finally)!

Posted by: BillyH Jan 13 2018, 11:40 PM

Thanks to The Snake for alerting me to this thread! Submitted just in time with a gloriously bonkers track that did nothing in the UK but huge elsewhere...

Posted by: Chez Wombat Jan 13 2018, 11:42 PM

Literally just found something on a last minute trawl as I forgot that this closed tonight. I love it a lot though *. Apparently it wasn't a hit anywhere in particular, which I'm quite surprised about as it sounds very familiar.

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 13 2018, 11:45 PM

And we've hit 20

Last call for anyone else, aiming to get the voting thread up tomorrow evening pending any potential vetoes.

Posted by: The Snake Jan 13 2018, 11:59 PM

Well we couldn't have one of Buzzjack's biggest Eurodance fans not in this contest, could we?

Posted by: Bré Jan 14 2018, 12:03 AM

Great to see us reaching the 20 entry mark again!

I never did get around to finding a replacement entry so I guess I am sticking with the one I have that I expect will bomb horrendously again xx (it is a banger tho so I hope not).

Posted by: awardinary Jan 14 2018, 12:06 AM

I think I might withdraw actually. I didn’t really give any thought whatsoever to what I entered.

Posted by: The Snake Jan 14 2018, 12:07 AM

I think mine won't do too well it is the sort of song that took me a few plays to like it, but really like it I did.

Posted by: The Snake Jan 14 2018, 12:15 AM

Don't withdraw awardinary. It might be a hit in the contest, you never know!

Posted by: Bré Jan 14 2018, 12:27 AM

That's hardly a reason to want to withdraw ;o

Posted by: lewistgreen Jan 14 2018, 02:40 PM

I often never gave any thought to my BJSC entries.. which possibly shows in my DNQ pattern
But don't withdraw Andrew!

Posted by: Avicii Jan 14 2018, 03:51 PM

Unfortunately we had to veto Wardy's entry as it didn't fit in with the theme, hopefully he sends a replacement but if he doesn't before later tonight we'll assume he is withdrawing.

Posted by: Addyland Jan 14 2018, 03:54 PM

I hope Andrew sends replacement on time

I will stalk him on Insta about it.

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 14 2018, 04:11 PM

Addy you need to update your sig

Posted by: Addyland Jan 14 2018, 04:21 PM

Done

Posted by: travis Jan 14 2018, 04:56 PM

Super excited to see what people sent to this and also what the reception to my track is. It's been stuck in my head for the past few days since submitting it. Hoping you all fall in love with it like I did!

Posted by: Avicii Jan 14 2018, 06:07 PM

We've got a Wardy reconfirmation and the song has passed the veto so the songs thread should be opening sometime tonight!

Posted by: The Snake Jan 14 2018, 06:16 PM

That would have been sad if awardinary was no longer in it, thankfully he is still in it!

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 14 2018, 07:15 PM

19:30

This may be my fave contest ever on here, pretty much love every entry.

Posted by: Addyland Jan 14 2018, 07:24 PM

Yes, can't wait to see what are the other 19 entries...also I am expecting to at least be familiar with at least half of them lol but hopefully I am wrong...regardless of that, I'm still very excited
