[King Rollo]

Welcome to the 25th edition of the Club Bizarre dance forum song contest. For the first time, the theme was decided by a series of survivor polls and the winner is Techno and Artistic / Experimental Electronica which was suggested by uhsting. As the last contest was won by Adam Dixon's 'Flight', I am your host.

If you want to go in the techno direction, you will be looking for music that is characterised by its repetitive beats, pulsating basslines, and use of synthesizers and other electronic instruments. Techno is often minimalistic, with a focus on building tension and creating a hypnotic atmosphere. The style is futuristic, with a nod to science fiction and technology.

Artistic electronic music may not necessarily have a big drop or sound 'dated'. It sounds a bit more atmospheric. Uhsting envisions the electronica side to be more the modern side of electronica with a bit of leeway on how it is portrayed. This genre can be quite chill without too much buildup, thus focusing more on portraying the soundscape, as if you are soaking in all the acoustic greatness in the wild. Fikus, an entry uhsting sent in to the BJSC at the start of last year, is a good example of this. Another good example would be Eve (youtube links for these are in the theme results thread).

- Make sure that your entry falls under the Dance genre - essentially something that would be appropriate to post in this area of the forum.
- The aim of this contest is showcasing lesser known music so keep that in mind, e.g. no big chart hits or cult classics. Lesser known songs by bigger artists may be okay.
- Please avoid anything that has already been sent to previous editions of BJSC, Club Bizarre or Unknown Pleasures.
- If any of these rules aren't adhered to, the Dance Forum moderators (awardinary, Dan and lewistgreen) may veto your entry, in which case you will have to submit a new song.
- This is an anonymous contest so please do not reveal what you have sent - the unmasking occurs during the results show.

As there are other song contests going on at the moment, there will be at least three weeks to listen to the songs and vote so don't be put off entering a song if you are taking part in the other contests.

When you have found a song, please send a PM to myself with the following information:
