April 26, 20205 yr So I see I was one of the last ones off zero... Yes it was violence galore for me :P Starlight is freaking amazing, I definitely think Jai Wolf stepped it up after it took me too long to get into Indian Summer and his alternative dance songs were more up my alley.
April 26, 20205 yr Author 16. Dan was behind… Hollywood Burns - Scherzo No.5 in Death Minor fR4sOLWlJ_Y 12. Wice - Star Fighter 10. Glitch Lazzer - Don't Give Up 08. Rogue VHS - Jupiter 07. Gemini Rising - Orbit 06. Scandroid - Neo Tokyo (Dance With The Dead Remix) 05. Zombie Hyperdrive - Red Eyes 04. Niky Nine - 909 & Heartbreak 03. David Hasselhoff - True Survivor 02. Arvo Party - Chevy Chase 01. Flashworx - Odaiba Chase Now we finally get to find out one of the people behind an entry in this dominant top 4! It’s Dan, currently in 3rd place, with ‘Scherzo No.5 in Death Minor’ by Hollywood Burns. The French producer mixed together synths, strings and piano to create one spooky concoction. Dan’s 12 goes to Addy’s entry ‘Star Fighter’ which shoots up into 12th. Glitch Lazzer then climbs to 8th following a silver score - leaving me and Bray hanging by a thread in the top 10. The identity of the poster behind Glitch Lazzer is still unknown. ‘Jupiter’ has suffered a drought but comes back strong with a bronze - this lewis entry has still received nothing but medal positions! 1 83 Jai Wolf - Starlight (feat.

April 26, 20205 yr Great stuff from Dan, being one of the first few songs I didn't really pay attention to it the first time I heard it but thankfully did hit me after relistening to it after the BeatSense listenthrough :magic: Rogue VHS still having either medal positions or nothing argh
April 26, 20205 yr Author 17. Haus was behind… Jai Wolf - Starlight (feat. Mr Gabriel) Z9VoDwy-3Lc 12. Rosentwig - Press Start To Begin Your Journey 10. Wayfloe - Fractions (feat. Jessie Frye) 08. Artemus Gordon - Deathrace 2000 07. Kalax - Carousel (feat. World Wild) 06. The Midnight - River of Darkness (feat. Timecop1983) 05. Jasper Byrne - Miami 04. Andromeda Dreams - Two Million Light Years 03. Zombie Hyperdrive - Red Eyes 02. Scandroid - Neo Tokyo (Dance With The Dead Remix) 01. Dan Terminus - Digital Onslaught Next we find out the identity of another one of the high scorers - in fact, the current winner! It is Bal who is behind ’Starlight’ by Jai Wolf featuring Gabriel. This was a very relaxing moment in the listening session with twinkly piano playing, pretty synths and soothing vocals courtesy of Mr Gabriel. Definitely another one perfect for late night drives. Bal does not shoot himself in the foot at all, in fact, he voted for all of the bottom four! ‘Miami’ is sadly still last but is now at least attached to double-figure points. Bal’s 12 went to Dexton’s Rosentwig who is now sitting just outside of the top 20. The silver for Wayfloe boosts that up to 12th - we still do not know who sent that one. Bal then awarded Pete’s entry ‘Two Million Light Years’ a bronze medal so that is just behind Wayfloe in 13th. Dobbo now joins me and Bré on 44 points, following 3 from Bal, so we’re all fighting hard for that low top 10 place! 1 83 Jai Wolf - Starlight (feat.

April 26, 20205 yr great to see my entry standing out enough to make the top 5 for now! interesting that Haus could potentially win this on his first try! didn't vote the song but did enjoy it (as per most of the songs I didn't vote)
April 26, 20205 yr Whenever that played on beatsense you all said that's who that would be :lol: bingo
April 26, 20205 yr One of only a couple of songs that I had a good guess as to who was behind it as I remember Bal wanting to send Jai Wolf to BJSC before :magic: this song wasn't quite as great as 'Indian Summer' but still liked it quite a lot and it did stand out well among the pack! Oh my at Bal being in contention to win on his first time entering this :0
April 26, 20205 yr Author 18. Jupiter was behind… Gemini Rising - Orbit nDdTSLYJX6Y Cheers Jade Enjoy! +12 Jai wolf The midnight The hoff Wice Kalax Jasper Glitch lazzer Flashworx Sunglasses kid +1 Wayfloe So many horrory ones! Not what i expected! Yet again one of the highest scorers swiftly gets their votes in! Jupiter is behind ‘Orbit’ by Gemini Rising, which he predicted to finish dead last and is instead currently in 4th… lol. Gemini Rising is a project from Tensnake, Fiora and Lester Mendez. The trio have offered up a real dance-pop 80s throwback here. Jupiter rewards Jai Wolf with a 12, the fifth top score for that entry tonight, so ‘Starlight’ now has a 21 point lead in first. Next, the 10 goes to an entry that was lagging behind quite a bit in comparison, this is ‘River of Darkness’ which now sits just outside the top 20. Then THE HOFF gets the bronze so he’s now 16th… iconic. 1 95 Jai Wolf - Starlight (feat. Mr Gabriel) [Haus] 2 74 Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene Pt.

April 26, 20205 yr My timely anarchic anthem not going down too well then :'( I have grown to really like it, was considering a number of songs by them after coming across their album on Bandcamp. That said, I'm not too surprised given so many people went for a similar sound! I'm not sure why I missed Jai Wolf as a contender, I did like that too, only just missed my votes. REALLY got my hopes up for Jean Michel Jarre though, a stunning song that I can't believe is from the 1970s, I must check out the Oxygene album!
April 26, 20205 yr Jupiter the member being dead last in my rankings while 'Jupiter' the song was my 12. :cheeseblock: :kink: (To be clear 'Orbit' is a perfectly fine song, I didn't dislike anything in this contest, just thought that one seemed the most middling / forgettable - I can see why it's appealed more to others though). Clinging onto the top 10 somehow despite not getting any more points from the last couple of votes gah. Could use some more fans xx Jai Wolf pulling ahead gah! :drake:
April 26, 20205 yr From being Top 2 at the start of this results reveal to being bottom 2 at the end. It’s not a surprise but still. :lol:
April 26, 20205 yr Author 19. dandy* was behind… Wayfloe - Fractions (feat. Jessie Frye) acwFyZx8nFI Hi Jade, thanks for a really enjoyable contest! Certainly the first edition of this where I've enjoyed most of the songs and definitely the one I've given the most plays to ^_^ I think I'm going to settle on this as my final order even if I'm not at all sure I've got it right... 12 The Midnight - River of Darkness (feat. Timecop1983) 10 Gemini Rising - Orbit 08 Glitch Lazzer - Don't Give Up 07 Zombie Hyperdrive - Red Eyes 06 Artemus Gordon - Deathrace 2000 05 Flashworx - Odaiba Chase 04 Rogue VHS - Jupiter 03 Hollywood Burns - Scherzo No.5 in Death Minor 02 Future Holotape - Light Racer 01 Jai Wolf - Starlight (feat. Mr Gabriel) Sorry to those who missed out! D* Next up it’s dandy* and he’s behind Wayfloe featuring Jessie Frye with ‘Fractions’! This was a smooth, mid-tempo moment in the contest with pretty lush vocals from rising synthwave star Jessie. He’s currently sitting in a very respectable 12th. The Midnight continue to get a late surge as ‘River of Darkness’ now rises to 17th thanks to Dandy’s 12. His 10 to Gemini Rising then helps Jupiter propel into the top 3, wow! Finally, his 8 to Glitch Lazzer helps that to ascend into the top 5. But who was behind that one? All will be revealed soon. Dandy pushes me out of the top 10 though so no me gusta. Well, I’m technically joint 10th, so I’ll forgive. 1 96 Jai Wolf - Starlight (feat. Mr Gabriel) [Haus] 2 74 Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene Pt. II 3 70 Gemini Rising - Orbit [Jupiter] 4 66 Hollywood Burns - Scherzo No.5 in Death Minor [Dan] 5 59 Glitch Lazzer - Don't Give Up 6 56 Rogue VHS - Jupiter [lewistgreen] 7 51 Zombie Hyperdrive - Red Eyes [Dobbo] 8 49 Scandroid - Neo Tokyo (Dance With The Dead Remix) [HarryEzra] 9 47 Niky Nine - 909 & Heartbreak [NocheLuna] 10 44 Devault - RUNWAY [bré] 11 44 Arvo Party - Chevy Chase [Jade] 12 43 Wayfloe - Fractions (feat.

April 26, 20205 yr The thing is with synthwave, considering this is a dance forum contest and we were trying to send stuff that wasn't too pop or too rock to fit within the forum, it's easy for the genre to get pigeonholed into a couple specific concepts and that's why most of the entries may sound too similar to one another
