So I actually originally sent Maia Maia, with CLIPZ, but I neglected to search clarify that it was recently on the Radio 1 playlist resulting in what I think is my first ever song contest veto I have been really loving Nia Archives' material over the last few years so I'm thankful that I was allowed to enter a lesser known song by her, even if it isn't my favourite (I did think about Crowded Roomz, but that did show up in quite a few personal charts)

Thanks for the minor points so far and Doctor Blind for the bigger ones, the top 2 as of the last scoreboard and both fantastic and a wonderful closer from Dan as well.

That was a very cool entry, Jade! And one that I think could've gone up in my affections even more with a few more listens tbh (I'll probably keep listening to it from time to time ❤️). Thanks for the points too!

Always a strong contender and currently sitting in the bronze position in the all-time list, though unlucky so far to have stalled 3 times in the runners-up position, and therefore yet to win Club Bizarre is Cody. For CB33 has sent BAYLI, a Brooklyn-based queer artist, blending the smoothness of indie R&B with the sharp, colder edges of hyper-pop, to craft a different sound which remains true to and deeply rooted within the rich traditions of Black music. “Lucky Number One” from recent EP NO RE-ENTRY is a queer club anthem, a track built for the dance floor, fusing indie R&B vocals with pulsing electronic beats, and celebrates the sheer joy of queer nightlife. Sadly however, it has not been faring too well so far. :(

Everybody point and laugh

Thank you Cody for 6 points! ❤️

C'mon 'Respond' *.*

I fear Cody just calls all of his entries flops so that on the rare occasion when he actually flops we're all desensitised to it x

Very strong top 5 at the moment but Nazar being so low is not on (and neither is Arca being in the lower half)

I'll be back at approx 2115, to reveal the 1-7 pointers for Addy!, Bré, Julian, Pav, uhsting, TheSnake (!) and CowTzy.

Yes - we have actual votes from TheSnake. This is not a drill!

well I’m glad I didn’t send this to BJSC bc otherwise it would have BOMBED

Thanks Cody for points - nothing here deserves to be that far adrift at the bottom

Jeez, 'Anticipate' is really low right now, but sharing the number of points with me who gave it 12 haha. I kinda had some entry envy tbh, it was a very interesting and slightly ~bizarre~ entry. I was definitely intrigued and mesmerized, that's why I still get excited about music and discovering music.

I want ART, you know? That was art. My brain turns slightly into mush when I listen to it but the track just felt like a fresh experience. 😅 (Not that I've never heard any music like that before but y'know)

I don’t think any of the remaining voters liked my entry so yeah absolute BOMB incoming x

surprised y’all hated this track more than the one I sent last contest where I genuinely thought I was assaulting your ears

Thank you so much: Jim for the 12! ❤️, AllStar and Mango for the 10s, Nine and Jade for the 8s, and King Rollo, Chez and Lewis for your points!

Really didn’t expect to be doing so well as I’m usually more miss than hit with Club Bizarre! Top 4 and only four points from the top OMG this will be tense!!

I was upset by that veto because that's also a banger, I'm obsessed with Nia Archives. Sadly I don't think the jungalist massive on BuzzJack is a big enough contigent to bring it home!

OK - 7 voters left, just 4 pts separate the Top 4 and I can reveal that the gap remains close. It is all to play for ~

Addy is another stalwart of the Club Bizarre contest with entries sent to all 33 editions, they currently sit in 6th place in the all-time leaderboard with 1 win and 15 Top 10s including an impressive (record breaking?) Top 10 run of 6 consecutive editions. For CB33, they selected Berlin-based DJ, producer, and singer HorsegiirL. Emerging in 2022, she has quickly risen alongside a wave of innovative artists from the Berlin scene, producing ebullient, high-energy tracks that blend happy hardcore, hardstyle, Eurodance, and club music. The track submitted, “YOLO,” epitomizes this approach, offering an anthemic celebration of freedom and living for the moment over a vibrant, dancefloor-driven beat.

Bré has also entered every edition to-date and has a solid record including 15 Top 10s but has only breached the Top 3 on two relatively recent occasions, could this be the first time that he wins? Proving that he has all the Doctor Blind cheat codes, he opted for two artists at the forefront of the Jungle revival and a song that I already knew and loved by dazegxd and gum.mp3. Brooklyn‑based dazegxd and Baltimore-based gum.mp3 collaborated on a number of projects that explore jungle and electronic music in fresh, forward‑thinking ways, reflecting their shared roots in underground club culture. I can’t remember how I originally discovered “Mania” but its title is very apt with its frenetic and urgent energy, it forms the centrepeice of their Girls Love Jungle project.

1 FAUZIA - The Way

Commiserations to IAMDDB and Rody Joh - this was a solid batch of songs, particularly strong bookends with my top 2 being the first and last songs in the running order! Hyperdub coming through with a mysterious banger in that Nazar song *.*

When I looked up my artist(s) on BuzzJack I discovered that 'Mania' had already appeared in Doctor B's chart a while back which made me chuckle after the OP specifically called out people stealing something from there. Was entirely coincidental I promise xx (I listened to a few other songs from both artists to see if I could find another one that wouldn't violate that but 'Mania' was pretty comfortably the best song by either artist out of what I listened to so just stuck with it).

Thanks for the 5 points Bre!

Oh my, I unfortunately snubbed Brer's last couple of anon contest entries but I gave this one... 1 point order slowly restoring

I wonder who was in Bré's top 2

great entry there.
