June 12, 20223 yr Thanks Bré, you were definitely within the imagined target audience for this one so I'm glad it resonated!
June 12, 20223 yr oh yay some more Danævii points ty Persephonia, Suedeonia, Quintessa! and another 18 for Eastovka!! top 5 for them incoming?
June 12, 20223 yr Loving the amount of 18s for Eastovka *.* Trance clearly is indeed dead for more than half of the voters here but it thankfully still has enough of a voter base to send a great trance track into contention :wub:
June 12, 20223 yr Oh wow, I always seem to flop when the scoreboard freezes so this is a pleasant surprise :cheeseblock: Thanks so much to Quintessa for the 18, didn't expect another one!

June 12, 20223 yr Thank you Leo! Still no 18s but now 8 medal positions *.* (I'd have returned one if I was able to). And thank you Chez and Callum for some more points as well!
June 12, 20223 yr I thought Eastovka could be a dark horse, great to see it doing so well! Happy to add to the tally of 18s B-) It was close between that and Utopia though so I hope it's not too close :x
June 12, 20223 yr I think FARC has got it but I wouldn’t rule out a welcome Eastovka win at this late stage! :o
June 12, 20223 yr Author Jadakissnia 3vfzZg7hl7Y Good evening all, Jadakissnia calling :hi: We're gutted to merely be on the sidelines for this wonderful final but we're usually good at bouncing back from a DNQ, so let's hope that continues. It was a shame that my 12 in the semi-final, courtesy of Dobago, also didn't make it - but it seems like semi 2 really had some treats in store as my whole top 3 is represented from there :o Before we announce our votes in full - thank you to our host nation Lotunia for a marvellous presentation so far, even if drama-filled with the chairs concept! We're gutted that we couldn't quite sneak your AQ in, especially as it seems like something that would be a bit unexpected in our votes, but nice job nevertheless. Anyway, let's gooooooo! 18 Kluminican Republic: Boy Harsher - Machina (feat. Mariana Saldaña) I'm sure this top pointer comes as absolutely no surprise as I was hyping 'Machina' up from the moment that semi-final thread went up! Boy Harsher already had good form in BJSC as I was also a fan of Aeroche entry 'Come Closer' in the past - although that was heavily slept on - I mean, finishing outside of the top 20 in the final?! This better be given more respect than that! 'Machina' is so up my street that it made #2 in my personal chart last year. A couple of other songs from the same soundtrack ('Autonomy' and 'Give Me A Reason') also slotted in lower down, I'd definitely recommend the project. What can I say, Boy Harsher and vocalist Mariana Saldaña are a match made in spooky, 80s synthtastic heaven. The intro of this song has always reminded me of 'Don't You Want Me' by the Human League, so much so that I tried out a mash-up on rave.dj and was pretty chuffed with how it turned out, go and search out the relevant Lounge thread if curious. Another brilliant double-figure pointer this year for Klum Rep following 'FVN!' recently <3 15 Fljótavík: VLURE - Shattered Faith Best discovery of the final goes to the ever-excellent Fljótavík as I didn't quite have time to listen to SF-2 songs during the semi voting stages. 10 seconds into this entry and my exact reaction on Discord was: "OMG what is THIS?! *." which is always a good sign for enthusiasm levels. I was instantly swept up by the passionate IDLES-esque vocals (btw, if anyone needs inspo for Pride III spin-off then Joe Talbot is bisexual and pretty awesome x) and the equally inviting synths. Such predictable scenes at the top with my known love for synths, shhhhh. I also love the general jolt of energy throbbing through the lyrics, where someone has a new lease of life, I could really do with that vigour right about now. Thanks for providing such a standout entry! FLJ, like Klum Rep, have now received two sets of double-figure points from me this year so far - the other being 'home' in 143. 13 Kathaldazia: Shonen Bat & JKS - Garonor (93 Club Mix) Rounding off my medal podium is the equally ever-excellent Kathaldazia! They have really found a groove over the past couple of years with their brand of electronic entries, I'm so here for it. This one is no different - I was so hyped to see that this one came from the same YouTube channel that housed my top 5 smash 'strast' by Trudge last year (remember when I could get hits etc. x okay literally last month shh) and this did NOT disappoint! Like that entry, very beloved to the people of Jadakissnia, this is also a thrilling techno stomper! On top of a phenomenal high-energy instrumental it also has the added layer of choppy looped vocals. Kath advised us at the listening session that it would get better as it went along and indeed I was very much here for the introduction of squelchy production that came with the build-up. A #longsongbloc triumph - top 10 smash please! This is already Kath's third entry to receive double-figure points from us this year (it's actually the second bronze: Vitesse X got one too) - country of 2022 contender for sure. Best of the rest: 12 Rolloland: AtomA - Then Came The Wave 11 Persephonia: ill peach - COMATOSE 10 Cumulonimbia: Ivy Hollivana - GENESIS 09 Danæviia: Spiritbox - Secret Garden 08 FSR Rontvia: Naked Flames - 247 365 07 Trifoski: Ethel Cain - American Teenager 06 Utopia: Ibibio Sound Machine - Protection From Evil 05 Séyetana: Mili - world.execute(me); 04 Terra Avium: Dead Pony - 23, Never Me 03 Eastovka: Kohta Imafuku - Orihime 02 Aelandor: Holding Absence - Gravity 01 Skall: UNIIQU3 - Unavailable (feat.
