June 1Jun 1 Well this has been quite a divisive one as I suspected, I but I'm very pleased it's managed two medals from Julian and Jim <3 (and now Bre yay!) It's a very haunting and unsettling listen and has an interesting inpiration behind it which did really stand out to me. I appreciate it's not the most house-sounding song, but then I'm not sure how I'd categorise it...but Apple Music listed it as House so that's final xxAs I left voting so late, I sadly didn't have a lot of time to familiarise myself with the songs but I did like most of what's in the top 10. Interesting to see my former BJSC artist, Crazy P, that flopped for me in BJSC last year, but this one seems to have found more of an audience, sorry I didn't point it, it didn't quite click with me as much.
June 1Jun 1 Our housing market struggling this quarter I was trying to find an entry similar to DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ which led to me doing a RateYourMusic search for the 'outsider house' subgenre, this track doesn't exactly sound much like DJ Sabrina but I still vibed with it enough to give it a go. Fun fact: the vocal is a sample from 'All Night' by Men I Trust xThanks Jade and Rich for my higher scores so far + Wardy, Chez and Dobbo for a few more points as well, at least I'm not last I guess
June 1Jun 1 10 minutes ago, Brer said:'Swallow Me' was quite the entrancing pick, nice one Chez (makes up for me snubbing you in a few other recent anon contests x). I had been suspicious of you recycling one of your own artists once again with Crazy P being in this contest but not the case again xC'mon Bre, when would I ever recycle my artists in song contests, who even does that? x(Good entry from you as well there x)
June 1Jun 1 Author We move on to two of the contenders - firstly I can reveal Leww was behind TCTS & Jem Cooke with their piano house effort 'Masquerade'. Jem was quite a popular choice being confirmed three times however the first two changed their entries of their own accord allowing this to be let in.12 Duke Dumont & Panama - All My Life10 St Germain - Rose Rouge08 Shermanology - Don't You Leave07 Starchaser - Love Will Set You Free (Jambe Myth)06 Carl Chaste & The Magician (feat.

June 1Jun 1 Chez's BJSC entry from Crazy P didn't fully connect with me but I enjoyed this one a lot more so nice pick Joops, glad to see it doing so well!And ooh my gold medallist now in the lead *.*
June 1Jun 1 Author Cowtzy went for the big name of the big room era in Hardwell albeit given a more progressive makeover by Drumstone which has perhaps made it more palatable to the Buzzjack audience.+12 Nause & Lasse Holm - Canelloni Macaroni+10 Disco's Over - Sojourn+8 Rivo - Stay Here+7 Habstrakt - Show Me+6 Cut La Roc - Freeze+5 Yotto (feat.

Owlle) - On My BodyI can now reveal one of the big contenders comes from dandy* who was behind St Germain - another retro pick coming from 2000 and quite an inspired take on house being very jazz influenced - but can it keep its lead?Hi Dan, thanks for the tag earlier to remind me about the contest. I've managed to listen a couple of times today so I think I've managed to get to a place where I'm happy with my order of votes... speaking of which, here they are:12 Cut La Roc - Freeze (I already knew this but it's a classic!)10 Crazy P - Eruption08 Floorplan & Honey Dijon - Fake & Unholy07 Hardwell - Retrograde (Drumstone Remix)06 Max Dean, Lucky & Luke Dean - Curveball05 Loukeman - Took A Turn04 Yotto (feat.

June 1Jun 1 Ooof good thing dandy* did get to vote then if St Germain is still a win contender - I was aware that the Jorja Smith version was a cover but never checked out the original and had forgotten who it was by, I was wondering when I saw the title during my first listenthrough if it was the same song! What a tune *.* (and a great entry from Cow there as well). Thanks for a few more points also x(I guess these last 2 voters are both unlikely to be voting for St Germain though so I'm predicting TCTS to still win)
June 1Jun 1 It's nice to be revealed!Very much surprised to have been leading this towards the end, even if I think the track stands no chance of staying ahead in the final two votes! Thanks to Ansel, Brer and Jade in particular for the 12s (hope I haven't missed anyone)... That St Germain album is one of my favourite dance albums, obviously very jazzy but I think it totally works and Rose Rouge was the first single I ever bought by him so thought I'd give it a shout here just to send something different to the styles that typically get sent.
