Posted July 23, 20231 yr Β welcome to the big trancey room and the eurodance room. I'm not gonna lie, it's mainly trance, but there's a few eurodance entries in here too and a couple where they almost put their feet in both camps.Β Entries π§ββοΈπ―ββοΈΒ 9 // βͺ // T.H.K. - France - Mars Mix 25 // βͺ // Solarstone & Jonathan Mendelsohn - This Is Where It Starts (Epic Pure Mix)Β To vote, use the Eurovision system (12//10//8//7//6//5//4//3//2//1), and send your votes via DM.

July 23, 20231 yr Yay! It's good to be taking part again after my brief break and what a batch of entries to come back to. It made perfect sense to go with this theme given the success this type of music is having in charts around the world.
July 23, 20231 yr I presume the Aquaplex and Aquaworld ones don't have Aqua samples :P Β Excited to dive into this ^_^
July 23, 20231 yr Hyped for this one!Β Love to see another Rave Culture release at this contest after last time with W&W x AXMO. :w00t:
July 23, 20231 yr Blank & Jones and Zhi Vago :wub:Β Zhi Vago I considered myself as well so I am curious to find out who's behind it <3
July 23, 20231 yr With that being said, I expected more 90's Eurodance known names to be participating especially after I saw Urban Cookie Collective vetoed earlier but excited none the less to listen to all the entries <3
July 23, 20231 yr Had a quick listen through and am glad I changed my entry, my original one would have been quite similar to a couple of others here.
July 23, 20231 yr 25 // βͺ // Solarstone & Jonathan Mendelsohn - This Is Where It Starts (Epic Pure Mix)[/b]When I saw it for the first time, I got confused and wasn't really sure. Now, I'm quite convinced. PureNRG (at this contest) is the trance project made by Solarstone and Giuseppe Ottaviani. Does it mean having artist(s) and their side project at the same contest can pass any vetoes?Β Let's say another examples: deadmau5, Kaskade, and Kx5; Armin van Buuren, Benno de Goeij / Rank 1, and GAIA

But well picked out anyway! I guess we could do with an extra set of eyes on the veto panel! ;)
July 24, 20231 yr I think Cow P would've genuinely been the only person to spot that! I'm not clued up on my Trance history so wouldn't have for one second even clicked on that any of those were the same people. It's a fair point to make and perhaps something to consider for veto research moving forward that we do a bit of a deeper dive into artist history but for now we shall continue as is with this contest
July 24, 20231 yr An innocent oversight I'm sure, very well spotted though. This happened in BJSC last year too with Paul Seul and ascendant vierge (which is 50% Paul Seul, although apparently he goes by the name of Paul Orzoni now...) in the same contest.
July 24, 20231 yr Yes that would have been tough to spot, especially given itβs a remixer rather than the original act. Excellent knowledge there though!
July 24, 20231 yr yeah completely passed me by the possibility that thereβd be producer aliases cropping up, our veto process is mostly checking the song itself fits the theme and isnβt too well known. given in this case theyβre just the remixers here itβs not that big a deal anyhow.
July 24, 20231 yr Author Would have had no idea.Β my personal opinion is that aliases and remixes go a bit beyond what the no duplicate artists rule is meant to stop anyway, it has happened a few times in BJSC in the past
July 24, 20231 yr What days do ones prefer for a listenthrough for this then? I assume BJSC 156 final will take place this week too.
