December 29, 20214 yr Author alright 2021 here we go a note that this list will lean a little more in favour of the discoveries, and a few tracks I don't particularly associate with BJSC ended up missing the cut Honourable Mentions Grimes - REALiTi (Demo) [Republic of Adonia] Kirin J Callinan feat.

We also have Persephonia's wild venture into J-Pop, a proper sing-into-your-hairbrush bubblegum tune from Oslol, and the sweet indie pop vibes of Will Joseph Cook & Chloe Moriondo on Flynnonda's entry Be Around Me HGy1BNNaEn8
December 29, 20214 yr Author Gw8lnkXs1qk 40 Maduk feat. Gid Sedgwick - "Poison" [Land of DW] 39 Himera - "You Make It Look So Easy (S.M.I.L.E.Y.)" [N DNTN] 38 The Frank And Walters - "Fashion Crisis Hits New York" [suedeonia] 37 Richard Hawley - "Tonight The Streets Are Ours" [Terra Avium] 36 Larkins - "TV Dream" [Oslol] 35 Violet Chachki & Allie X - "Mistress Violet" [Aesthetica] 34 French 79 feat. Sarah Rebecca "Diamond Veins" [Rolloland] 33 Phil Lober - "Alive" [Aelandor] 32 Promis3 - "Future Funeral" [sovarasma] 31 Isabella Lovestory "Mariposa" [Cadelicia] Suedeonia's 90s jangle pop tune from The Frank And Walters tackles topics such as the consumption of cutlery, while Terra Avium's unexpected anniversary entry from Richard Hawley brought an uplifting and romantic vibe to one of the more memorable contests this year. Hyperpop/bubblegum bass rep in the BJSC is always welcome, with the entries from Promis3 and Himera being two strong examples. Cadelicia rarely seem to pop up nowadays, but they made their appearance worthwhile with the reggaeton banger Mariposa DnC0B0ZWMPw
December 29, 20214 yr Glad to see Future Funeral here! I hope to find more decent hyperpop to send in the future but they are difficult to find :D
December 29, 20214 yr Pleased you liked Tonight the Streets Are Ours so much, it's not what I usually send but it has a very charming vibe and fits into the film, Exit Through the Gift Shop really well, (I was in a Banksy phase when I sent it x) Lots of great favourites from past years too, Breathe is still one of my most painful DNQ, so I'm always really pleased to see someone else appreciate it! *.
December 30, 20214 yr Author BaCxx_GHmb0 30 The Shoes & Anthonin Ternant - "Time To Dance" [suedeonia] 29 Charli Adams - "Didn't Make It" [sergeistan] 28 Stand Atlantic feat. nothing,nowhere. - "deathwish" [Taahino] 27 DREAMDNVR & Boy In Space - "PSYCHO" [The Actual Republic of Bellamia] 26 Sewerslvt - "Jvnko Still Loves You" [séyetana] 25 Soccer Mommy - "rom com 2004" [Jupiterdonia] 24 Mint Royale feat. Lauren Laverne - "Don't Falter" [Zanmatony] 23 And One - "Military Fashion Show" [Aelandor] 22 Dan Deacon - "Snookered" [Fljótavík] 21 Declan McKenna - "Humongous" [Niceland] Many familiar favourites old and new from the likes of Mint Royale to Dan Deacon to Soccer Mommy. Taahino brought an infectious pop punk tune from Stand Atlantic (with a feature from a former Trifoski act!), Sergeistan struck gold with Charli Adams, and TARO Bellamia's PSYCHO is one entry whose hook has been rattling around my head for a while, if I don't include it here it's probably never gonna leave me alone -ysUbo4bED4
December 30, 20214 yr Cavetown :wub: Green is such a fantasatic song, still one of my favourites of his to this day! So many great songs in this thread, if I mentioned them all I'd probably just be reeling off a paragraph of song titles :lol: Collarbone, Darwin Derby and Desperado Vespa are my absolute favourites from previous years, and fab to see Humongous mke it into your countdown this year as well!
January 5, 20224 yr Author NHeFu1YL3PM 20 Majid Jordan - "Waves of Blue" [Jupiterdonia] 19 ishi vu - "This Is Your Life" [FSR Rontvia] 18 MitiS feat. SOUNDR - "Homesick" [Land of DW] 17 Masayoshi Takanaka - "Santigo Bay Rendez-Vous" [skall] 16 Quadeca - "Sisyphus" [Persephonia] 15 Namasenda - "Wanted" [Fljótavík] 14 Mori Calliope - "end of a life" [séyetana] 13 Wind Rose - "Diggy Diggy Hole" [FARC] 12 Doss - "Puppy" [N DNTN] 11 Magdalena Bay - "Chaeri" [Republic of Adonia] It's real time! The siren-esque sound of This Is Your Life was Rontvia's best offering this year, while MitiS proved that poppy future bass can still be fully effective in 2021, and Skall brought a surprise 80s city pop jam from Masayoshi Takanaka. FARC's final entry of the year was also a head-turner, with Wind Rose's ridiculously fun cover of The Yogcast's Diggy Diggy Hole, plus Adonia finally gave Magdalena Bay the smash they deserve with one of many banger tracks off their debut album 34CZjsEI1yU
January 6, 20224 yr Genuinely surprised and honoured to have got an honourable mention for this year!! Our tastes aren’t particularly overlapping but I’m well pleased something managed to bridge the gap!
January 11, 20224 yr Author em1Ar8iq3d8 10 Kalax feat. Jay Diggs & Pyxis - "Out of Time" [Mulgracia] 9 piri & Tommy Villiers - "soft spot" [utopia] 8 Ayesha Erotica - "Literal Legend" [Hendinia] 7 VNV Nation - "When Is The Future?" [summericia] 6 YOASOBI - "Yoru Ni Kakeru" [Quintessa] Kalax delivered the romantic 80s magic with Out Of Time, while Summericia's entry from Futurepop veterans VNV Nation kicked off the year strong with its stomping synths. piri & Tommy Villiers' aptly smooth D&B vibes on Soft Spot sit next to the racing pianos and epic key changes on YOASOBI's massive japanese hit. Courtesy of Hendinia came an old favourite from Ayesha Erotica, with one of the most manic and vulgar tunes you'll ever lay your poor ears upon vEyPvak2K9o
January 11, 20224 yr Ooh great to see VNV feature in your top 10. Was pleasantly surprised by how well it did however I did think you were more to the group of people I was expecting to take to it. Also did see 'Dead Stars' from 2019 *.* Some other highlights from the top 20 at least would be 'Diggy Diggy Hole' - a surprise genre change for FARC there. 'Waves of Blue, 'end of a life' & 'This Is Your Life'! Edited January 11, 20224 yr by Rob S~
January 11, 20224 yr Author maHs9Ogzojo 5 FAKE TYPE. - "FAKE LAND" [séyetana] Entries like this are why Séyetana are an essential nation for this contest, with its bouncy energy combined with hyperactive rapped verses, it's high time you all started embracing the madness VueBGZ1VXgc 4 Remi Wolf feat. Dominic Fike - "Photo ID" [Harmonica] An early sign of Remi Wolf's greatness - this remix of Photo ID featuring more lively instrumentation and an entertaining guest verse from Dominic Fike. Naturally everyone here slept on this, which also needs to stop so go and stream Juno please thank you hVW63Z_8deE 3 Polo & Pan - "Dorothy" [botanikka] What if Wizard of Oz...but with aliens? The important query answered in the video for Dorothy, this playful and hypnotic track from french duo Polo & Pan. I'd already been vaguely aware of them through an eccentric remix of Remi Wolf's 'Hello Hello Hello' so it was great hearing some of those woozy vibes shine through here iEL5yL4aThc 2 COBRAH - "GOOD PUSS" [N DNTN] We're not done with the filthy bangers yet! Just through hearing the clip in Jafet's postcard I knew I'd stan this, with an immediate hook and hip house beat building to an awesome breakdown at the end, who could really ask for more? 25CBe5FAvtI 1 Genesis Owusu - "The Other Black Dog" [Jadakissnia] It was a rather tough choice for what'd be #1 this time, but listening through the songs again in preparation, Genesis Owusu's The Other Black Dog was the one I kept coming back to. The fierce energy and charismatic vocals, a pounding bass that keeps the momentum high, also love how the synths kinda build in intensity during the verses. Anyone who likes this should check out the album cos there's some great tunes on there too -x- So there you have it, congrats Jadakissnia and everyone who submitted the great tunes showcased in this thread! Try and keep it up in 2022 x
January 12, 20224 yr Oh I just assumed Harmonica wouldn't be in this, how wrong was I :cheeseblock: Idk how 'Photo ID' failed to qualify but I'm still glad I sent it. Great #1, 'The Other Black Dog' will be near the top of my EOY as well :wub:
