Song: Home
Description: German artist Roland Meyer de Voltaire, better known as Schwarz, gained fame in Germany from his band VOLTAIRE. With a voice that can cut like a blade and soothe like a feather, the German artist will touch many hearts.
Home has been described as "a tender tune that is bound to break boundaries and touch people’s senses with its striking message. It merges orchestral spheres with electronic beats, unified by a nowadays scarce courage towards emotion, towards hymnody, towards voluptuous melodies. Pop music that is thrilling and not just clever."

Description: Danish producer Kenneth Bager has been making music since the late 80's. His sound is described as downtempo and chilled.
Fragment One (...And I Kept Hearing is taken from his 2006 album Fragments From A Space Cadet for which he received the Danish Statens Kunstfond award. The track features vocals from Gisli. The music video depicts a weird and wonderful happy place where scenes of decadence, beautiful women frolicking in lacy underwear and white rabbits are regarded as equals.

This is absolutely wonderfullll Wardy, one of my highlights of this contest - I'm glad that I can finally fully get behind one of your entries, I've liked several of the previous ones but this is the first one that's really clicking with me 
Unfortunately can't vote for it but sending my hopes and prayers that this can qualify nonetheless (and thank you for a great discovery either way ofc).
Posted by: HarryEzra 5th July 2017, 10:33 PM
For a long song, I am really endeared about your song!
Posted by: Jade 13th July 2017, 03:18 PM
This was such a beautiful and calming entry, Wardy! I really had no issue with the duration at all. There is something about the trance genre that just always reels me in. 
'Touched By The Sun' would have so easily been my first final points awarded to you if it had made it. It was a shame that one further big fan of this wasn't in semi 2 as it was so close to qualifying. Rejects smash at the end of the year por favor!

I can't resist a dancey Spanish earworm most of the time (especially a somewhat retro one!) so this caters to my taste just perfectly I see that Paradisio are Belgian from your write-up despite the Spanish lyrics, I also have a Spanish potential up my sleeve by an artist that isn't from Spain 
(instead Italy!).
I think this could do really well for you!

Congrats on a brand new peak Wardy! A bit frustrating that you were so close to the top 10, but really this was cursed the minute it became the recipient of my 18 with that recent track record. 
thank you so much for bringing this song back into my life! I heard it lots during my childhood (I think due to being on a Spanish compilation or something as we have many of those in the house haha) and I love it more than ever now, such a joyous song in my favourite language to boot. <3

Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/Gryffin feat. https://www.last.fm/music/Sinead+Harnett
Song: Love In Ruins
Description: Gryffin is an American DJ and record producer based in Los Angeles who is a classically trained pianist and learned to play the guitar at an early age. Early in his career he remixed music for Maroon 5, Tove Lo and Years & Years. Gryffin produces music in a melodic house style and classifies himself as a melodic house artist. He incorporates sounds of piano and guitar for a 'hybrid of electric and organic' musical style.
Love In Ruins is his fourth official single following Heading Home, Whole Heart and Feel Good. The song features vocals from Sinead Harnett, an English singer and songwriter from Finchley, London. She has previously recorded for artists like Wiley, Disclosure, Rudimental, Snakehips, Nick Brewer and others. Love In Ruins has been described by Billboard as featuring "a melancholy chord progression that swiftly resolves itself with the layering of Harnett's soulful vocals and steadfast guitar strokes." It has also been described elsewhere as "Beginning with gentle guitar riffs, Gryffin's latest, Love In Ruins, unravels a story through Sinead Harnett's breathtaking vocals about a lost love that must be left behind. Featuring a sweeping melody over waves of rumbling bass, Love In Ruins evokes feelings of nostalgia, yet hope for the future with mellifluous undertones and an easy beat."

This contest was one of my most indecisive entries to date. I knew I wanted to send this artist, but ther were so many potential tracks on the album Darkdancer That I kept changing my mind, but I’m glad I chose one that was your favourite!
I’ve heard from Bré too about your misfortunes last month, so hopefully this time I can gain justice for both of us.

I actually think I might have heard this song before, the chorus sounds familiar. Really nice song indeed, the indie and pop blocs are going to love this!
EDIT: OF COURSE! I discovered it when looking for dance songs in 2000 that went top 40 for Dan G's ultimate 00s dance playlist.

Thanks Buzzjack Mountain! It was indeed a Top 40 hit in 2000, and I’m unsure if it made Dan’s playlist at the time, but it was definitely a catchy pop song of the time!
Mint Royale of course had that belated #1 in 2008 (thanks to Britain’s Got Talent) with Singin’ In The Rain which you’re no doubt familiar with too.

Well, once again a National record has been broken, at the completion of BJSC 133, Zanmatony have finished in 9th place, beating last month’s record by a single position! This is an unexpected result, and once which I have many to thank for. I wish to especially thank Rolloland for awarding my nation maximum points in both the Semi final and the Final also! Thank you too to Singerpurear and Trifoski for their maximum points in the Semi final. Also, thank you to the five nations who awarded us 15 points in the final, the most amount received in a final before, so thank you very much to Cumulonimbia, East Rukahavian, Harmonica, Tartford and Trifoski. The final score of 223 in the final was only two points more than last month, meaning another record smashed!
We thank you again, and look forward to joining you for BJSC 134 in the near future!

Song: Gold
ABDA is the new stage name of singer Ahmad Abdul. He was a participant in the Indonesian Idol singing talent search which was broadcast on the RCTI television station in 2018 and he became the runner up.
The 30 year old Indonesian singerhas previously released a number of songs, namely Coming Home, Bukan Cintaku, Tell Me Something and Up to the Sky. After becoming one of the winners in the talent search arena, his name is indeed known by the wider community. However, ABDA felt they were not familiar with the work he had produced. Not wanting that image to stick, ABDA wants to show its true identity through its works.
Gold is the first single released under his new alias ABDA which blends the unmistakable sound of pop music with some well placed electric guitar riffs. ABDA describes the song on social media “About a life that asked for more, it’s hard for sure. He gave his best and all. Life is like a war. One thing he knew, he never wanted to jump and fall. Then he realized, he had to go. Searching for his own gold.”

Well it’s been reported that Zanmatony failed to qualify for the final for the 134th BuzzJack Song Contest, finishing 26th in their Semi final. It was always a risk to send a different genre, and with a male vocalist, but it seems it was a risk that didn’t pay off on this occasion. Thanks to the six nations who gave us points in this contest, including two 12’s and one 8. We will rethink our plans for the next contest and look forward to sending our votes for the final soon.
Also, just to add to this post, as part of the results ceremony, this is an interpretation by Mosquetania of Zanmatony’s present flag;

Song: Bentley’s Gonna Sort You Out!
Bentley Rhythm Ace (BRA) is a band formed in Birmingham, England in the late 1990s, by former members of the band Pop Will Eat Itself, with guest appearances by Milf, a member of indie band EMF. The name likely refers to the Rhythm Ace line of analogue drum machines manufactured by Ace Tone, some of which were rebranded and distributed by Bentley Pianos in the UK.
Their self-titled debut Bentley Rhythm Ace was released in 1997 and spawned the hugely popular single Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out! which featured in a few TV adverts at the time and was also praised in multiple music magazines such as NME upon its release. This song was also used as the soundtrack on several of the 100 Greatest… shows on the UK television's Channel 4.

I definitely remember this one from a few adverts back in the day, possibly for mobile phones but I can't be sure. It certainly does sound like the sort of thing Channel 4 would have been all over, a bit like Daft Punk's Discovery album tracks and Touch & Go's Would You?. It's a welcome blast from the past anyway, best of luck with it.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 19th May 2021, 12:31 PM
Yes, as you say Wardy- I discovered this in the early 2000s when Channel 4 did all those 'Top 100 Greatest' type progammes with this as the theme and constantly wanting to know what it was.
Turns out it was some Big Beat epic that samples a German album of striptease music by the Werner Müller Orchestra. AMAZING!

Following the results of the 135th final of the BuzzJack Song Contest, we are happy to report that a final position of 27th has been achieved for Bentley Rhythm Ace. It is a unique final position for our nation, and the first time that a final entry has finished in the 20’s. It is however our third lowest finishing final entry to date, however, the critics are still delighted with the outcome. Big thanks to Rolloland for awarding us maximum points (the second occasion in as many finals), and Utopia for awarding 15 points. Also wanting to thank Fljótavík and Arcodesia for their first awards of final points for our nation!
There has been announced a short break until we send in our next main contest entry, but stay tuned for something else in June 2021…

Unlike others I didn't recognise this one from any adverts, but I did remember owning it on a https://www.discogs.com/Various-Connected/release/4199637 which I then spent far too long trying to remember, eventually recalling enough random stuff that was on it to locate it by Googling 'bentley rhythm ace finley quaye rialto cd', ended up making a playlist with the songs I don't recognise or not heard for years to see what other gems I'd long forgotten.

Snails is a record producer from Canada whose musical style has been described as "vomitstep", featuring "guttural bass gurgles, crushing 808s and synthesizers oscillated well past the point of absurdity" according to Billboard. Snails has continued steadily releasing music through multiple labels, including several releases on Skrillex's OWSLA imprint.
Frogbass was featured on the soundtrack to M Night Shyamalen’s 2016 movie Split and contains a classic house vocal from Crash Goes Love (Yell Apella) by Loleatta Holloway. The bass thumping arrangements and sickening synth lines feature some hefty, frog croak bursts as the main catalyst for getting you hyped up on top of the infectious vocal sample and pounding drums.

So after receiving another DNQ, the third one of 2021 (not counting the DNQ from Buzzjackfestivalen VI), it seems that 10 votes and 34 points wasn’t enough to secure a place in the final. Competition was high as it always is. Where we go from here is anyones guess.
If you wish to share any feedback on Zanmatony’s recent entries, the directions we have trialed and what sounds you would like to hear from our nation in the future, please do share your remarks here. We are not yet certain of being eligible to participate beyond 2021 yet, but with the moderators blessing, this will hopefully be the case.
Also, may we take this opportunity to thank those of you who have supported us each month with your votes and kind comments too.

Robots in Disguise are an English electropunk band composed of Dee Plume (vocals and guitar), Sue Denim (vocals and bass) and a changing line-up of backing musicians. The group released four studio albums between 2000 and 2011. Sue and Dee, who met while students in Liverpool, took stage-names from the words for: a writer's pen name, "nom de plume" (Dee Plume) and an assumed name, "pseudonym" (Sue Denim).
NME described The DJ’s Got A Gun as “a lost classic of mid-noughties disco-punk, while 2005’s Get RID! was a great DIY pop album.” Another independent reviewer described the song as “a fine disco-funk song, vocoder vocals, '70s disco guitars, and seductive vocals: its like Shampoo grinding up against Kraftwerk on some sweaty dancefloor, this track is made for a DJ set.”

This is great, love it (apart from the gun references), I'd describe the song as 00s electroclash mixed with early 80's new wave!

We could really have done with Buzzjack Mountain’s votes. Another DNQ on our hands for 2021, making it 4 so far in 2021.
Our plan is to send something current from 2021 next round, but not sure what yet.

Song: U4IA
Mixmag cover artist ABSOLUTE. aka Anthony McGinley has graduated from the vibrant East London underground LGBTQ+ club scene to the world stage with a consistent flow of tracks and remixes. With key supporters ranging from Pete Tong to an ever expanding array of tastemakers; Tiga, Maya Jane Coles, Blessed Madonna, Annie Mac and beyond, Anthony has been careful to put out a broad palette to ensure his ambition to deliver a live show remains a clear goal. He has DJed at a wide array of parties and festivals from Glastonbury and Creamfields to Fabric and Razzmatazz.
Bklava is a British singer, DJ and producer of the Irish and Lebanese descent. She is currently based in South London.
U4IA is a piano-fuelled rave track, blending old-skool energy with Bklava’s vocals. On the track, ABSOLUTE. says it “is one of my favourite tracks that I’ve written. Peak energy and rave euphoria from start to finish and as much fun to make as to dance to! When I made it with Bklava, it was the first time we’d met but it came together so quickly and naturally and by the end of the session we just couldn’t stop dancing around my bedroom studio to it. Over the summer it's become a peak moment in my DJ and live sets so I'm excited it finally gets to have a light shone on it and close out this amazing Wonderland mixtape campaign.”

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.“

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!
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)

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!

Wonderful news received today that a new national qualification record has been achieved;
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!

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!
99 2065 Zanmatony
Thank you to everyone who helped us along the way to achieve this remarkable milestone.
In addition, we have been gifted an additional statistic that shows us in 53rd for most everage points per final!
See you all for BJSC 145!

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!

Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/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.

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

Aww thanks Yobnedorica! We were hoping you’d have a change of heart and enter this month! But look forward to welcoming you back with open arms the next time around!

I honestly couldn’t, I was away so long that I’d have been deducted! I missed the semis completely!

Congrats on your biggest hit Wardy. A fab song to do it with too. Such an empowering and energy driven girl group song <3

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.
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! 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!
To conclude, here is how Zanmatony voted in the second Semi Final of BJSC 147;
+12 Michael Canitrot – Oracle {Sovarasma} [QUALIFIED]
+10 Dom Dolla & Clementine Douglas – Miracle Maker {Jupiterdonia} [QUALIFIED]

Song: Dance Machine 96
DJ Reiz is the label head of Union Trance Mission. The Parisian producer and DJ has been making huge waves across Europe with his blend of trance, techno and classic eurodance. Utilising the sonic influences of years gone by to craft his own trademark sound, the Frenchman has already released a number of successful tracks that have been incorporated into the sets of Europe’s finest selectors.
Dance Machine 96 is one of three tracks taken from his 2020 EP also titled Dance Machine. The punchy, pulsating techno piece is full of high energy and signature sounds from many of his other releases if the time. Speaking to EQUINOX Melbourne at the time, he said in an interview that “Even if I got my signature I always try new things but I still have a lot to learn. My style will probably evolve till I find the right one.”

Can't believe this was released in 2020!
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!
Posted by: awardinary 12th October 2022, 07:22 PM
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. 
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!

BJSC 149 Entry (October 2022)
Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/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.

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;

BJSC 150 Entry (November 2022)
Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/Fourward feat. https://www.last.fm/music/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!”

Assignment: Malmö (Sweden)
Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/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.

As it just so happens, I've been on a video game music kick (see my most recent Nuggets entry) and have also considered sending one to BJSC, so even though I'm not familiar with Alex Kidd, your entry was still timed perfectly to get maximum points from me. I think the challenge with sending video game music to a song contest is how repetitive the songs usually are, but this remix brings so much life to it and was an instant fave for me. Bravo and well done!

Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/Radiohead
Song: Exit Music (For A Film)
Radiohead are an English rock band formed in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards); brothers Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments) and Colin Greenwood (bass); Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals); and Philip Selway (drums, percussion). Rolling Stone named Radiohead one of the 100 greatest artists of all time, and Rolling Stone readers voted them the second-best artist of the 2000s. Five Radiohead albums have been included in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time lists. Radiohead were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
Exit Music (For A Film) was played over the end credits to Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet but was excluded from the soundtrack album at the band's request. The song helped shape the direction of the rest of the album; Thom Yorke said it "was the first performance we'd ever recorded where every note of it made my head spin—something I was proud of, something I could turn up really, really loud and not wince at any moment." The vocals on Exit Music (For a Film) feature natural reverberation achieved by recording on a stone staircase. The climactic portion of the song is an attempt to emulate the sound of trip hop group Portishead, but in a style that bass player Colin Greenwood called more "stilted and leaden and mechanical". The song concludes by fading back to Yorke's voice, acoustic guitar and Mellotron.

Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/Alessandro+Safina
Song: Luna
Alessandro Safina is an Italian operatic pop tenor. Born in Siena, Italy, he has sought to combine his interests in opera and modern pop music. In 2001, he contributed to the score of Baz Luhrmann's film Moulin Rouge! where he performed Elton John's Your Songwith Ewan McGregor, and a part of the Elephant Love Medley, sung by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. In 2007, he recorded a duet with the British soprano Sarah Brightman. In June 2017, he performed O Sole Mio with Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.
Luna is the second track to his self-titled album from 2001. It features a cool, methodical drum groove and sweeping orchestral atmospheres, plus a haunting female vocal echoing in English in certain spots. The female lyrics are in fact a cover of a recording by Aretha Franklin track called Soul Serenade. When it was originally released in 1999, it reached #2 in the Dutch charts.

Posted by: awardinary 20th February 2023, 09:39 AM
Zanmatony were thrilled to discover their best ever result in a BJSC event yesterday when they were awarded the silver medal for the Movies II spin-off contest! It was a strange feeling sending Radiohead to BJSC as they are so widely known and respected, and the movie Romeo + Juliet was over a quarter of a century ago and it didn’t seem like the wisest choice of entry from us, but that result confirmed that the song Exit Music (For A Film) is still as much enjoyed now as it was then. Thanks to all who voted for it, especially Jadakissnia, Pagasa and Rolloland for the gold medals. Congratulations to the winners from Kyriatine!
Here is how Zanmatony voted in this spin-off contest;
+12 Rahul Sipligunj & Kaala Bhairava – Naatu Naatu {Ojnoj} [4th]
+10 James Horner – Becoming one of "The People" Becoming one with Neytiri {Danæviia} [14th]

Song: Tahara
Alt-Electronic music duo Jacana People are from Buckinghamshire, UK. Caught halfway between city noise and rural British landscapes, Jacana People meld bittersweet electronica with sprawling organic textures. The duo continues to showcase their penchant for storytelling across mood-switching soundscapes, encompassing rhythmic drums and nuanced percussion to create a warm immersive experience; teasing ambient elements, while hinting at the hope of euphoric times ahead. They have received support from the likes of Tom Ravenscroft, Mary Anne Hobbs, Nemone, Steve Lamacq, and Jaguar, positioning them at the forefront of rising UK talent.
Of the EP that Tahara is taken from, Crest, Phonica Records describes it as “looking at the hazy journey that comes when blending real-world sound against ethereal, effervescent electronic pulses; bittersweet moments that evoke ambitions of electronic, crossover stalwarts; Daniel Avery, Ana Roxanne and John Beltran. Something cosseting in the human and tangible; something distant and atmospheric.”

Song: LANTAKLAH
Ellya Keesha and Nelysa Nazrin from Malaysia are best friends who are pop outfit XONE (pronounced ‘so-en-ee’), the pop duo whose name is a cutesy acronym of X for love, O for hugs, N for Nelysa, and E for Ellya. From a young age, the two have taken refuge in the arts: first as cheerleaders; then as two-fifths of the country’s youngest and now-inactive girl group Pandoras; with appearances on the national reality talent show Ceria Megastar.
LANTAKLAH, which translates to ‘whatever’ in English, or as the duo put it: “Do what makes you happy. Keep it real.” There are beat drops, horns, percolating synths, and confidence-boosting lyrics. The music video impresses with its braggadocio and precise, vigorous dancing, shot against the KLCC Twin Towers. Of the song, singer Ellya says “It’s to remind ourselves that we don’t have to care about what everyone else thinks, or about our doubts, our imperfections. Sometimes you just have to tell yourself ‘lantaklah’.”

I wonder if it was a coincidence that you've sent an artist name starting with X right after making that alphabet thread...

Interesting that Zanmatony decided to send an M-Pop / MY-Pop track. This music industry is dying in SE Asia and we're hoping for a revival one day.

Well, the people from Zanmatony were not vindicated by making this risky choice, and non-qualification was the result.
It was however a step into the unknown and there were fans for the song inside Semi Final 2, and thank you to the gold medal by Aesthetica and silver medal by our esteemed hosts Yobnedorica! Here are the BJSC 154 semi final votes from Zanmatony;

Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/Cut+Capers
Song: Say What (Pisk Electro Swing Remix)
Cut Capers are a 9-piece Bristol band whose energetic live performance and infectious sound have won them a cult following on the British festival scene. Mixing a swinging vintage-style brass section with funk, soul and hip-hop. Their sound is hard to pin down but comparisons have been made to “Madness, The Streets and Lily Allen” among many others (The Bristol Magazine).” Over the years they have established themselves as a formidable live outfit, playing headline shows and main stage performances at some of the UK’s biggest festivals including Glastonbury and Boomtown Fair.
Say What was released as the lead single from the band’s 2016 album of the same name. It was not until 2019 it received the remix treatment that made it what it is now from Italian DJ & producer Pisk.

Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/Moon+Boots feat. https://www.last.fm/music/Cherry+Glazerr
Song: Come Back Around
Moon Boots is the alias of Brooklyn born DJ and producer Pete Dougherty. When Moon Boots hits the booth, he’s got one mission: to give you the best night of your life. Whether playing at iconic clubs like Chicago’s Smart Bar — where he cut his teeth watching legends like Frankie Knuckles and Derrick Carter — or the world’s biggest festival stages, he gives people a release they’ll remember long after the party’s over. His debut album, First Landing, arrived in 2017, and was followed two years later by Bimini Road. Emphasizing melody while blending elements of house, disco, soul and R&B, both records were widely embraced.
Cherry Glazerr is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2013. The current lineup consists of guitarist and lead vocalist Clementine Creevy, bassist Devin O'Brien and drummer Tabor Allen. The band's sound has transitioned from lo-fi, garage-rock in their debut release Haxel Princess in 2014, to a more polished rock sound, with elements of grunge punk and new wave, in their sophomore release Apocalipstick in 2017.
A collaboration with lead vocalist Clementine Creevy of LA rock band Cherry Glazerr, Come Back Around tells the story of a nostalgic lover playfully calling their crush back to them. Of the music video, Clementine said "We went to Coney Island to shoot the video and it was my first time there, so I was dancing like a little crazy woman just galavanting around the boardwalk blasting our song. My favourite moment was Ken, Pete and I squeezing ourselves into the teacups ride for the last shot- three grown adults in the tea cups were kind of insane but beautiful."

Song: Si Te Portas Bonito
Sofia Kourtesis is a Peruvian producer, vocalist and DJ living in Berlin. She has been described as “a musical magpie with a distinct dancefloor-friendly style.”—The Guardian. She started out in a hip-hop band at 18, then later turned to producing electronic music. Kourtesis says that many of her sounds come from her travels—the din of the Amazon, the shouts of children selling papa y queso—while others come from movies, old records, or children’s toys from the flea market. None of these techniques are new, but, putting them in the service of such expressive melodies and surprising arrangements, she makes them wholly her own. Sofia Kourtesis has announced that her debut album Madres will be released on 27 October via Ninja Tune.
Si Te Portas Bonito (translated “If You Behave Nicely”) is the lead single from her upcoming debut album. The song leans into the uplifting energy of her production style, enveloping the listener in subtle layers of sound. It unfolds radiantly, the synths gliding out in front of each beat, providing a perfectly timed stepping stone to carry your imagination into her paradise-like sound. Of the new song, she said: “If you want to date someone special! Step up your game and behave nice.”

Song: win your love
SHEE is the alias of Irish producer David Sheerin. His love for electronic music is rooted in disco, house and particularly French house and filter house. The Limerick based producer has found inspiration in seminal producers including; Thomas Bangalter, Ed Banger, Cassius, Laurent Garnier and more. SHEE has been honing his craft based around the influential filter happy sound that emerged in the late 90’s.
Of the song, SHEE described win your love as “an emotional ravers tune, made for the 4am afters, made with friends and parties in mind.” On his Instagram account he states “I wrote it 6 months ago in my bedroom late at night, it’s inspired by after parties with my mates and 5am chats. Decided to upload it to soundcloud as a free dl/bootleg. It got such an amazing response which I wasn’t expecting!! It’s quite different to my usual sound, so I was super nervous about how people would receive it but I started putting it into my sets and the reaction gave me so much confidence💕 It now has over 100,000 plays and is finally ready for release!”

Another spin-off contest completed, and once again Zanmatony managed a podium finish by getting the bronze medal. A close race to first which we had a steady lead for, but it was our own gold medal award that decided the winning nation, so we would like to congratulate Jupiterdonia on their victory! We were happy to have found 14 fans of Sofia Kourtesis in this contest, including one gold medal from Skall, two silver medals from Danæviia and Lookylion, and three bronze medals from Abeltesfeyton, Beaverdonia and Bøtanikkä!

Thank you for your support this month!! Really glad I could throw some points your way in return too, a fab discovery that I don't know if I'd have found otherwise! Does SHEE have any more music you've heard?
Posted by: awardinary 5th September 2023, 12:05 AM
I mistakenly first discovered SHEE in one of Kath’s Electronic Track of the Week polls in the Dance forum, but it was some weeks later when browsing similar artists to others I follow that I was reintroduced to SHEE. I did have a listen to other music he has put out but he’s still very new and so the demos that were available on streaming were lower quality I felt. I will keep a close eye on future releases though.

Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/Skindred
Song: Gimme That Boom
Skindred is a four-piece "ragga metal" band from Newport, Wales. Their genre is an innovative mix of metal, punk, and reggae. The band was formed in 1999 following the disbandment of vocalist Benji Webbe's previous band, Dub War and his one-off side-project Mass Mental? featuring Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves, Metallica) released the year prior. The group released their debut LP Babylon in July 2002, with sporadic success in parts of Europe and the U.S. metal underground.
Gimme That Boom is a hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners, ragga-metal anthem that deals with the selfish entitlement that’s become so prevalent in this age of instant gratification, based on a frustrating encounter lead singer Benji Webbe had with an over-familiar fan. Featuring a technicolour video, shot in the neon-lit wonderland that is God’s Own Junkyard in East London, the track is an incessant earworm which gives Skindred’s legions of fans a first full flavour of what they could expect from the band’s upcoming eighth studio album Smile.

BJSC 162 Entry (February 2024)
Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/DJ+Paul+Elstak, https://www.last.fm/music/The+Viper & https://www.last.fm/music/Boogshe
Song: Rave, Rinse, Repeat
Dutch Hardcore DJ Paul Elstak started his career as a DJ in 1987 when he was hired as a DJ at Rotterdam Discothèque Bluetiek-Inn. Here he played with the Dutch house music pioneer Peter Slaghuis. During this time, he collaborated with Rob Fabrie and Richard van Naamen to form Holy Noise, with whom he released a string of releases on the Hithouse record label (owned by Slaghuis). In 2001, he started a new record label at Rige Entertainment, called Offensive Records.
The Viper’s music is notoriously energetic, and he has build up a huge supply of hits throughout his illustrious career. He has put out some of the most widely loved remixes and bootlegs in the hard dance scene. His extensive history travels far beyond the studio, as he plays for crowds in all corners of the globe, including United Kingdom, Russia, Italy and Australia among many others. It’s in his home country of the Netherlands where the highlights continue to pile up.
MC Boogshe, The Netherlands’ leading female MC brings the best of both worlds – a mixture of house, dance and hardstyle with a hint of HipHop. This lady brings a whole new sound to the dancefloor. Boogshe is not only a MC, but also a singer/songwriter and studio artist. After this international success it did not take very long until she got discovered by various national and international DJ/Producers and collaborated with names like Laidback Luke, Swanky Tunes , Felguk, Coone, Bassjackers, Deepack, Sub Zero Project, Endymion, Ralvero and Showtek to name a few.
Rave, Rinse, Repeat is a throwback to the happy hardcore scene of the 90’s. With pulsating beats, infectious melodies, and euphoric drops, this track takes listeners on a journey through the highs of the dance floor. The dynamic production keeps the energy levels soaring, making it impossible to resist moving to the rhythm. Whether you're at a festival or simply looking to ignite your own personal rave, this song delivers an adrenaline-packed experience that will leave you craving more.

What a ride that was in Sovarasma for BJSC 162! The hosts made us feel so very welcome and delivered a truly suberb contest, and shortly after, we ran a survey across all regions of Zanmatony, and the results suggest this is the best presented song contest Zanmatony have taken part in ever before!
Twelth place is where Zanmatony finished in the final this time around, which is very respectable for our ravey entry this month, and this became our second qualifier of the year so far.
Let's turn our attention to the votes Zanmatony submitted on this occasion, starting with the second semi final votes;
+12 A*S*Y*S & Kai Tracid – Rave The Planet {Rolloland} [QUALIFIED]
+10 DIAMANTE – 1987 {Bøtanikkä} [QUALIFIED]

+5 Valtos & Elephant Sessions – 1990 {FSR Rontvia} [QUALIFIED]
+4 Together – Hardcore Uproar {The Spodic Empire} [DID NOT QUALIFY]
+3 INXS – Don't Change {Bronzil} [QUALIFIED]
+2 Dead Poet Society – My Condition {Kylienips} [DID NOT QUALIFY]
+1 Hélène Vogelsinger – Cognitive Dissonance {Eastovka} [QUALIFIED]
When the final was announced, these were the votes Zanmatony sent;
+18 DIAMANTE – 1987 {Bøtanikkä} [5th]
+15 Akini Jing – Call Me Shadow {Séyetana} [6th]
+13 Leblanc – Palladio {Danæviia} [14th]
+12 Golden Features – Vapid (feat. Louisahhh) {Dobago} [9th]
+11 A*S*Y*S & Kai Tracid – Rave The Planet {Rolloland} [41st]
+10 Zorza – Memory U {Cor Lupus} [24th]
+9 INXS – Don't Change {Bronzil} [11th]
+8 Hélène Vogelsinger – Cognitive Dissonance {Eastovka} [8th]
+7 Valtos & Elephant Sessions – 1990 {FSR Rontvia} [32nd]
+6 Grossstadtgeflüster – Ich Kündige {Sovarasma} [1st]
+5 Glockenbach & Öwnboss – Secrets (feat. Jazz Montell) {Ben's Sanctuary} [34th]
+4 glass beach – commatose {Scotland 2} [22nd]

+2 The Human League – The Sound Of The Crowd {Singerpurear} [16th]
+1 The Veronicas – Here To Dance {Taahino} [21st]
For the second month in a row, Sovarasma, our esteemed hosts, have won, and Zanmatony were able to have supported them once again with their votes.
Zanmatony would finally like to thank Ajanaeda, Freidland and Herbilore for their first ever final points to our nation! In addition, four gold medals awarded from Ajanaeda, Eastovka, Freidland and The Spodic Empire, together with a silver medal from Thelonia, were humbling gifts to receive this month, thank you all!

Artist: https://www.last.fm/music/High+Pulp feat. https://www.last.fm/music/Mononeon
Song: Never In My Short Sweet Life
High Pulp are a Los Angeles-based experimental jazz collective whose sound hints at times to everything from Miles Davis and Duke Ellington to Aphex Twin and My Bloody Valentine. Their songs balance meticulous composition with visceral spontaneity, and the performances are nothing short of virtuosic, fueled by raw, ecstatic horn runs ducking and weaving their way around thick bass lines and dizzying percussion. An inexplicable force pulled the collective together to produce the high-octane jazz, funk, hip-hop, punk, psychedelic cocktail that soon became their signature sound.
MonoNeon is a bassist from Memphis, TN and has been playing bass since began teaching himself to play at the age of four! He is a colorfully dressed experimental bassist that posts prolific jams to YouTube and has played in sessions with Prince, Domi and JD Beck, and Mac Miller.
Never In My Sweet Short Life is described by drummer Bobby Granfelt as having "so many iterations, so many sections, and so much disagreement internally. We kept tweaking and mining the song until we stripped it down to what we believed was its core - a whimsical flying lotus-meets-the beatles psychedelic odyssey. There used to be an outro with a beautiful horn arrangement, but we opted at the 11th hour to scrap it entirely and opt for a modular synthesizer-lead ambient outro featuring a baritone guitar." Debuting alongside the song is a new animated video in which robots are seeking companionship in the desert.
