Posted Monday at 07:525 days 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

Monday at 07:555 days 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
Monday at 09:204 days 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
Monday at 09:224 days 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.
Monday at 11:084 days 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.
Monday at 11:254 days 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.
Monday at 12:524 days I sent something I think fits the theme. Edited Monday at 13:104 days by Nine And ¾
Monday at 14:034 days Oh good lord. just picked a random date in 2009 on my last fm archive to get some ideas for this
Monday at 15:594 days Haven't overthought this one and just plumped for the most suitable one on my Potentials playlists.
Monday at 16:394 days oh my, I have to think a lot about what to send in here...amazing theme though EDIT:I didn't need to think a lot lol I just hope it's accepted Edited Monday at 16:434 days by Addy!
