Posted 11 hours ago11 hr Welcome along to the 34th edition of Club Bizarre. In this 20th anniversary week for BuzzJack it feels rather fitting to be running with the 'Indie Disco' theme as we transport back to the vibes of 2006. This is something that is quite close to my heart in terms of the music landscape as it shaped a lot of my youth and continues to be ever-present with a resurgence now fully in flight. Let's visit that dark and dingy club in your town that's running its one and only indie night of the year and bring all the best tunes to the DJ booth.This is your opportunity to send anything from the 'indie sleaze', 'electroclash', 'nu rave', 'alternative dance', 'dance rock' space, but that's not it; if you feel inclined to send guitars or a purely indie track, then you can! There's just one important point, you must be able to dance to it and be able to fill an indie dancefloor.From the 80s with New Order, to the 90s with Fatboy Slim and The Chemical Brothers, to the 00s with LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk and early Calvin Harris, to even now with Fcukers and The Dare, there is a wide variety to choose from (plus even more with the guitar element thrown in too!). This is a side to dance music that hopefully everyone can find their own in considering its wide genre and decade spanning existence.RulesYou must send a song that sits within the theme chosen otherwise the moderators will veto your choice and you'll have to find something else.You may not send a previous BJSC or Club Bizarre entry. I will also advise to avoid Unknown Pleasures and Nuggets, but given the theme this may not be totally possible (though please do try!).You may also not send anything too well known (blog presence is likely to be high with this theme so the entries sent will be assessed on a case by case basis). This is supposed to be a contest to discover new and under the radar music and artists.This is an anonymous contest so you must not reveal your entry until announced in the results thread.You have until Sunday 15th March 2026 at 23:59 (GMT) to confirm a song.Confirm Here

11 hours ago11 hr Club Bizarre opening up to non dance/electronic songs oh my Interesting theme choice, probably calls for a bit of genre diving on RateYourMusic again x
9 hours ago9 hr honestly I wasn’t sure if I was gonna enter bc I was just so pissed about what happened last timebut I somehow have something for this so maybe I’ll give it a go
9 hours ago9 hr Gosh every theme seems to get harder and harder these days (for me personally) but at least this is a very broad, open theme and unlike any previous volume so bravo on that.
8 hours ago8 hr Nice theme, will have a think. Keine Melodien that I just sent to Bop Idol would have been perfect actually. I can't think of anything else on the top of my head that I have that fits so will have a look around.
7 hours ago7 hr Actually I have absolutely the right song for this. I removed it from my contest potentials list for ~reasons~ but have never forgotten about it and it deserves its moment in the sun.
5 hours ago5 hr Oh good lord. just picked a random date in 2009 on my last fm archive to get some ideas for this
3 hours ago3 hr Haven't overthought this one and just plumped for the most suitable one on my Potentials playlists. Bonus point for a connection to the host too!
