Are unofficial remixes allowed? Like ones just on YouTube and not officially released/ on streaming services?

(I know will play havoc with the playlists!)

Have to be honest, I'm not keen on this round. As a deaf person I tend to hate clubby music and remixes, it all just sounds like noise to me. Will probably need to space the listening sessions out for these ones and likely won't be giving many (if any) repeated listens.

I wonder if the remixes have to be "clubby / bangers" remixes what about like orchestral remixes? And are just upbeat songs in general ok?

Unofficial remixes are fine, sure, just depends if people want to go down that route and take more of a risk 👀 and beyond the rules set out, totally up to the mentors how it's interpreted (song also doesn't have to be a remix) x

A massive well done to @ElectroBoy and @Julian_ on making the live shows.

I know from experience with The Corrs last year it's disappointing to leave in the First Live Show, but I think you both played a brilliant game. I didn't know much from either artist before this started, I've certainly discovered some songs I enjoyed that I never thought I would.

The theme only states remixes or club bangers, it doesn't state they have to be club remixes. So, if people go for the club banger route, it could literally just be like... Danceteria Afterhours if Madonna was taking part or the Stateside remix with Zara Larsson if PinkPantheress was taking part - so long as the production is "re mixed" from the original, it's surely fine. Which is why people have suggested Can't Get Blue Monday out of My Head, I guess!

I'm not expecting it to be 13 head thumpers because the description leaves it up for interpretation. Someone like SEB could definitely play this very smartly.

Looking forward to seeing Utah Saints get an outing for the next round then! That's where my votes would likely go.

Oh that would be a banger for the Bush but not allowed as per Calum's rules as 'Cloudbusting' has already been sent!

(unless someone else has an Utah Saints collab I'm forgetting )

Thank you! I was trying to figure out who Wardy was referring to... or was I.

Submitted, and if I go out here then that's fine, however this remix is the only real viable option (being the only remix I really like from songs I haven't used yet).

Others I heard might be bigger crowd pleasers but I always said I wouldn't play a song I don't like myself, so will stick to that.

You did a fantastic job with Tom @ElectroBoy - I didn’t realise I enjoyed his music as much as I do so thank you! Just a shame a covers round never happened and we missed out on a potential Angel selection. At least he won the Best Pits award. 🫢

And thank you @Julian_ for helping me discover Gary: again I didn’t expect to like his music as much as I did and that’s a testament to your great song selections.

It’s a shame to see two solo males out straight off the bat tbh. We need to protect Darin and Fender. 🫢

In all honesty, their future don't look that bright for them either!!!

I know right. Does Fender even have a remix or club banger? 🫢

Told y’all already I’ll make Fender safe xxx

If by "remix" you mean a certain 23-week #1

Wasn’t that the original version?

The way that would be such a serve too but BuzzJack aren't ready for that conversation x

Anyways, submitted my choice!!!

Sad we will never get to hear Psychadelic Kisses now though 💔

Psychedelic Kisses was on the list to use. I wanted to go back to the first album, as I'd only used 1 song from there - and both the previous themes didn't let me use anything from there which is why I didn't use it Round 1.

Also shame he's out before this current theme, as Lionheart, or the Chase and Status song could've been used... or his Calvin song!

Psychadelic Kisses and Lionheart would have finished quite high in my votes, love both of those... not sure if you'd have ever played the Ella collab but I would've loved to see that here too!

I think only one person has guessed my act correctly so far 😇

I've got you down for Sam Smith... am I close?

The Ella collab would've been an easy top scorer for me, but I can understand both why it wasn't played and if it was being saved.

I'm tosssing up between two songs.

Either **************** or *************** (remix).
