Entry Reveal

Good evening everyone!
The songs from each pair will be revealed very soon.

Starting 20.00 UK Time

Oop clashing with a Club Bizarre listenthrough (I'd forgotten this was happening today) but will try my best to multitask - intrigued to see which direction people have gone in with their themes x

Team #AbelPOPton

Abeltesfayeton: Molchat Doma - Ty Zhe Ne Znaesh Kto Ya



POPHub: Kate Gengo - Tell Me



About the entries:
"They’re both 80’s-sounding synth tracks (one of them is literally from the 80’s lol), that are lyrically about a tumultuous relationship and heartbreak."
"The most obvious similarity between our entries if the strong 80s feel. Both of our entries are fuelled by synths. A deeper similarity can be observed in the lyrics. Whilst one track is performed in English and the other in Belarusian, they are both themed around heartbreak."

Having some slight technical difficulties, but will try to reveal a pair at a time - with 4-5 minutues inbetween each!

exciting !

oh a very interesting first pairing, I am aware of some of Molchat Doma's work but not that particular song !

Team #Scotoche 2

Aeroche: ODESZA - This Version Of You (feat. Julianna Barwick)



Scotland 2: Wednesday - Quarry



About the entries:

"Both Wednesday and Julianna Barwick are signed to Dead Oceans record label."

Love what I know from Molchat Doma :wub:

Team #Altsovar Muunsma

Altyr Muunilinst: Eleni Foureira - Aeraki (To Thiliko)



Sovarasma: Rene Ageri, Teo Tzimas - Mallia Kouvaria



About the entries:

"Mediterranean pop bangers"

 

remember to throw us some flowers, chocolate and points :cheeseblock:

Oh Molchat Doma being sent again + Julianna Barwick and Wednesday *.* stacked lineup already I fear

 

(and inspired theme choice for Aeroche/Scotland 2 x)

Team #Jadabeavidonia

Beaverdonia: Anitta, Brray & Bad Gyal - Double Team



Jadakissnia: Isabella Lovestory - Fuetazo (feat. Villano Antillano)



About the entries:

"Spanish Language Duos"
"They are both Spanish team up collabs"

Team #Bøtaphoniä

Bøtanikkä: Luana Vjollca - 1 Mije Vjet



Persephonia: I Tpame I Tvrame - The City



About the entries:

"Albanian artists"

Team #Cadcheilicia

Cadelicia: Rik Shaw - Simply The Best



Cheiron: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born on the Bayou



About the entries:

"Both songs are performed by artists who had hits with Proud Mary."
"Creedence Clearwater Revival sang Proud Mary, which was covered by Tina Turner. Tina Turner sang Simply The Best."

Anitta, Bad Gyal and Villano Antillano :cheeseblock: the Latin lady all stars coming out x

 

Yay for Addy finding a song that's actually in the Albanian language, I tried to find one but struggled oop. Just staying in #darkwavebloc but by an artist who happens to be Albanian in the end x

Team #FSR Séyerontana

FSR Rontvia: Rondò Veneziano - Casanova



Séyetana: Dai - Happiness Of Marionette



About the entries:

"Both are instrumental classical/soundtrack pieces, I believe both make use of 'rondo', alternating themes and refrains that date from the Baroque period - though both are of course modern pieces from separate traditions. (this was my first instinct on hearing Rontvia's for something that sounded similar)"

Three to go!

I try not to recycle artists where I can but when we decided on Spanish language collabs (oops not duos, Meekul's is a trio, but did have 'double team' in the name tbf :lol:) I couldn't take this one off repeat so thought I'd relax my usual standards. #Beaverkissnia

Team #Hinteroski

Hinterlandia: Sorry - Starstruck



Trifoski: Opus Kink - St. Paul of the Tarantulas



About the entries:

"Post-punk artists (or bands in a similar vein) emerging from the UK 'Windmill Scene'"
"Both are from bands that originated from the 'Windmill Scene' an indie rock/post-punk movement originating out of the Windmill venue in South London"
