Club Bizarre is officially re-open! For the third volume we will be exploring the genre of deep house and its sub-genres future house and tropical house.

We have 21 lovely entries for you to enjoy, and from the list below you are to choose your ten favourites. Please use the ESC 12 point system (12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) and PM your votes to me (http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=11746). Voting will close Saturday 28th April, 23:59 BST and results will be revealed the following evening. You may not vote for your own entry.

In the last two Club Bizarres we haven't had a single non-voter, so make sure you aren't the first to miss out. You have a full two weeks to vote, this has been extended from the usual one week to take into consideration our clash with BJSC 104 and the 90s vs 00s spin-off. A 33% deduction will apply to any non-voter entry, which we hope we don't have to use for the first time. Late votes will be accepted deduction-free but only up until the opening of the results thread, so don't risk it and get your votes in before the deadline given above. Any poster may vote, even if you have not sent an entry.

This is an anonymous contest, you may not reveal or hint at your own entry or your votes until I have revealed them in the results thread. You are welcome to speculate on who sent what and predict the winning contenders though.

Now let's reveal the list of entries. All three genres have been sent which have been roughly colour coded though there is some crossover.

All the best to fellow budding DJs!

Posted by: lewistgreen 15th April 2018, 11:39 AM

omg who entered my Moksi track?
Tube & Berger as well

Posted by: Iz 15th April 2018, 11:41 AM

Looking forward to listening through these! I might start doing that now, looking like there might be some real good ones to vote for.

Posted by: Dexton 15th April 2018, 11:46 AM

I know more of these than I was expecting!

Posted by: HarryEzra 15th April 2018, 11:51 AM

I know none of these

Posted by: awardinary 15th April 2018, 11:56 AM

You still going to be ok hosting Now 80 the evening before too? Maybe you can delegate to someone else if you think it helps you out.

Posted by: BridgeCow 15th April 2018, 12:13 PM

SO MANY BANGERS HERE!! Dusky, EDX, Jerome, Moski/D.O.D., Monolink, Quintino/Cheat codes, Sander Kleinenberg already loveeee this contest

Posted by: Bré 15th April 2018, 12:26 PM

Glad to see this is mostly deep house as that's by far the best of the 3 options so that bodes well Yay for this beating the entry count of the first two editions in the end as well!

I'm fairly certain I'll flop this time but feel free to surprise me voters

Might be better to hold the plug session during the second week? This week is gonna be crowded with BJSC and the spinoff both running in the same week.

Posted by: danG 15th April 2018, 01:35 PM

ah that's true, I take it the semis will be on Tuesday and Thursday as usual and then there's the regular Now for Wednesday and by then we're all plugged out for the week.

Posted by: maddyna! 15th April 2018, 02:00 PM

We can do one tomorrow and one next week again

Posted by: maddyna! 15th April 2018, 02:02 PM

Workals - Elea was my potential for BJSC last year...glad someone picked it up for this

Also I'm familiar with EDX, Dusky and Quintino.

A very strong contest

Posted by: Berrier Cody 15th April 2018, 02:23 PM

Okay Can’t Fight It is winning this for sure

Posted by: Bré 15th April 2018, 02:35 PM

We have an artist called BlueBrony in the contest Iz debuts in.



edit: that is way bigger than I thought it would be but I'm leaving it tbh

Posted by: Selena GoHome 15th April 2018, 02:37 PM

hoping i don't come dead last like i did last time!

Posted by: Iz 15th April 2018, 02:52 PM

I was wondering who'd be the first to point that one out.

Posted by: Berrier Cody 15th April 2018, 03:02 PM

although when isn’t there an anonymous contest Iz is in with a song that’s perfectly him

Posted by: maddyna! 15th April 2018, 03:05 PM

Yes Leww, you still haven't answered my question on how in the hell you were behind that disastrous entry from last time

Posted by: Selena GoHome 15th April 2018, 03:18 PM

its an ABSOLUTE bop. kitschy and catchy as f*** and a total riot!

Posted by: maddyna! 15th April 2018, 03:28 PM

I thought you would pick totally something else for euro-dance, considering you've sent Rockin' For Myself in BJSC!!!!

Posted by: Selena GoHome 15th April 2018, 03:38 PM

i was going to, but i didn't have anything by the last minute so i thought i'd send something super fun and messy.

Posted by: travis 15th April 2018, 11:39 PM

These Club Bizarre contests keep getting better and better! Already know a handful of these, and know a few more of the artists (but not the song sent), so I'm excited to discover some more jams.

Posted by: dandy* 16th April 2018, 08:20 AM

My debut contest! Looking forward to hearing the submissions...

Posted by: HarryEzra 17th April 2018, 01:34 AM

I have voted super early it was a good contest to listen through!

Posted by: danG 20th April 2018, 01:35 PM

Bump! We've received two sets of votes so far, you still have just over a week left to vote so here's a friendly reminder.

Posted by: lewistgreen 21st April 2018, 04:54 PM

Voted! Fab contest!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 25th April 2018, 05:28 PM

Voted! By far the best of these contests so far for me, was really hard just cutting it down to 10 tracks!

Posted by: travis 26th April 2018, 02:28 AM

The listen through for this still on Thursday?

Posted by: danG 26th April 2018, 08:09 AM

Posted by: travis 26th April 2018, 08:28 AM

okay!

Posted by: Dobbo 26th April 2018, 08:30 AM

Ooh I might be able to make this one for once! And i was planning on one last listenthru so 2 birds 1 stone n all.

Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 26th April 2018, 12:29 PM

Oh if it starts from 8 pm then I might join towards the middle...the later the better lol.

Posted by: danG 26th April 2018, 01:17 PM

well it may be closer to 8.30pm, depending on when I finish eating dinner. probs won't be a strict 8pm start.

Not really indicative of a winner as I expect but there were quite a few very well received entries!

Posted by: BridgePony 26th April 2018, 09:12 PM

Voted! Such a good contest omg

Posted by: Jade 26th April 2018, 09:14 PM

Voted! This contest was like half great / half average. Much love to a lot of the deep house.

Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 26th April 2018, 09:18 PM

Voted, let's hope one of my top 3 finishes 2nd after my entry winning

Posted by: Dobbo 26th April 2018, 09:34 PM

Well all you can tell from those stats are the songs which AREN'T winning

Posted by: Chez Wombat 26th April 2018, 09:39 PM

Well I learnt from this contest that Deep House is clearly the best House sub-genre.

Some wonderful stuff and some not so wonderful but the highs were big.

Posted by: Dobbo 26th April 2018, 09:43 PM

For me I was expecting to like deep house the most but I think the future house ones were on average slightly stronger!

Posted by: Bré 26th April 2018, 09:47 PM

There were exactly 10 songs I wanted to vote for and then only about 2 of the other songs were even worthy of listening to again so... yes, a rather 50/50 contest. My top 2 were both absolutely brilliant though.

Posted by: danG 26th April 2018, 10:00 PM

if you haven't voted yet don't forget you have two days left.

we've got ten votes out of 21 now, so halfway there.

Posted by: Iz 26th April 2018, 10:09 PM

I shall send votes tomorrow. Sorry I missed plug.

Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 26th April 2018, 10:28 PM

Had to double check if my votes went through... I think they did

Posted by: danG 27th April 2018, 02:26 PM

Up to 12 votes now, we're still calling on the following to vote.

Don't forget, y'all. You've got just over 24 hours left.

Posted by: travis 27th April 2018, 05:14 PM

I haven't forgotten! I'm actually on a FOURTH listen through because I have just a handful too many I want to point and can't decide who to cut.

Posted by: Q. 27th April 2018, 06:25 PM

Voted! Was really surprised @ how much I enjoyed the music choices in general! (same thing pretty much happened in both the previous editions as well)

Posted by: Bré 27th April 2018, 07:06 PM

Are you planning to do these results on Sunday btw? Just cos the BJSC results are due for then as well so ~

Posted by: danG 27th April 2018, 08:38 PM

Yes but I'll do them before the bjsc results. Call it a warm up.

Posted by: Dobbo 27th April 2018, 09:28 PM

Some of us are only interested in these results

Posted by: travis 28th April 2018, 07:53 AM

finally voted!

Posted by: danG 28th April 2018, 10:31 AM

Reminders sent. Let's get a full house of voters!

Posted by: Dobbo 28th April 2018, 10:44 AM

And voted!

Overall I did prefer the first 2 editions but that's because they're probably my top 2 genres. However that isn't to say there wasn't some great stuff entered here as well. I liked 2/3rds of the tracks & notably one which completely passed me by on my first listen ended up growing enough to receive double digits!

Posted by: awardinary 28th April 2018, 03:41 PM

Voted.

Posted by: danG 28th April 2018, 09:20 PM

We are now calling on

dandy*
Jupiter
Leww
Rush

Get your votes in tonight please.

Posted by: danG 28th April 2018, 11:02 PM

CLOSED

All 21 votes have been collected. Join me tomorrow at the early time of 3pm for results.

Posted by: Bré 28th April 2018, 11:25 PM

Omg that's practically early morning for me on a Sunday xx (I'll try not to miss it tho).

Yay for getting a full house of voters again *.*

Posted by: Dexton 29th April 2018, 01:12 AM

3pm/10pm I’ll actually be able to make it

Posted by: danG 29th April 2018, 08:19 AM

It's either then or a BJSC results clash, I've got to get the results done before 4.30 anyway because I'm going to see Avengers then.

Posted by: dandy* 29th April 2018, 09:34 AM

Interested to see what wins! I think I’m going to do badly, I like my track but I don’t think it stood out among the others at all.

Given the classifications in the opening post, I’d say deep house was definitely my favourite sub genre.

Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 29th April 2018, 12:08 PM

Yes at early results, i will be here for this

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th April 2018, 12:35 PM

I can't see myself being anywhere other than last to be honest

Posted by: Bré 29th April 2018, 12:40 PM

I will be here for this, yay.

I was thinking something similar to dandy* so not having high expectations here - my song did go down a little better than I thought it might on plug though.
