Congrats Dan

And thank you Kath for hosting and the amazing theme <3

I’m actually delighted with #19th for Sonique, I pretty much knew it was going to be DOA 😂 but that didn’t stop me from sending her because I really wanted her to be part of this edition <3

Well done Dan, I put your song in third place so I'm pleased to see it winning this.

Thanks Kath for the excellent hosting job and to everyone who gave points to Museless.

Thanks to Kath for hosting this, navigating the change in site gave its added complications but you managed to make it all seem effortless! 💚

And congrats to Dan - a suitably great winner for a great edition of the contest!

oh wow, very pleased to have my 2nd Club Bizarre win on the landmark 30th edition and with a theme (and song in 'Diabla') I've long awaited for / to send. I thought it would be quite the standout for the techno genre although a win was beyond expectations!

many thanks Kath for an excellently hosted contest, I suppose it'll be me next probably sometime in early May.

Many congrats Dan! What a standout entry it was

I had a strong start but fell off in the middle and thereafter, I was hoping for another top 10 but will have to take scraping a top half finish, thanks to the voters.

A big hand to Kath for hosting and look forward to vol. 31!

Well done Dan! Thanks for the superb hosting Kath, I liked reading through the info on each artist and I really enjoyed this edition overall, with some excellent discoveries to take away. Shame that DJ Miss Parker didn't do that well in the end, I did love that one.

Pleased that you were able to finally host and select this as your theme x

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that @Chez Wombat was behind my 12, we seem to be very synched lately.

I did chart Merely & Malibu's “arpeggiated romance” last year but didn't get around to listening to any other songs from their back catalogue so that was a wonderful discovery. Thank you.

Thanks also to @dandy* , @Jade and @King Rollo for the maximums, “Heaven Comes Crashing” has that raw emotion and power that I enjoy so much and kind of reminds me of Blanck Mass/F Buttons. Couple of other stunners on that LP if you want to delve deeper I can heartily recommend like “Tetramorph” and “The Price of Serenity” and the other collab. with maria bc <3

No problem, Doctor B!

Your post has reminded me that I charted ‘arpeggiated romance’ last year as well, should give this whole Essential Mixtape project a go.

I should have done a guest vote for this - I don’t feel I have the bandwidth for any more contests but actually I often enjoy listening and voting more than participating anyway.

From listening to the top 8 or so, Dan is definitely a worthy winner but my favourite is Jade’s!

Ooft! Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much 🥰

Comfortably last!

I can't say I expected much more for my entry, glad some liked it enough to vote at least, it was a strong field after all! I was listening to Phoebe's songs one afternoon as she was performing at something I was going to, so did a last minute entry for it to see how it went.

There were a lot of really good songs in here, really enjoyed all the songs I voted for. The winner was one of only 6 I discarded after my first listen of the playlist ooops

Great hosting Kath, really well presented all the way!

Sorry, I completely forgot to vote. Time slipped away and I thought I had until this weekend for some reason. Oh well :’) She’s a Baddie indeed, but not in a good Thelma way.

Sorry about missing the deadline for this. Life got in the way the past couple of weeks and I couldn't get around to even logging in! Thank you for the votes for Lisa! 21st isn't terrible but I did love the song as it's from that turn of the century hard house era.
