Welcome back Ben *.* I wasn't in the contest when you last took part so color me intrigued by what you'll send. Looking forward to hearing your return. :cheer:

 

 

Das freut mich!! Willkommen zurück

 

Thank you guys, danke schön ^_^

Wow the comeback of the comabacks :wub:

Finishing in the final 40th (from 42 on the 149th edition of BJSC) after a long long break is quite good. Well done Naomi Lareine.

 

For BJSC 150 Gavin James is Sanctuary's entry. I thought it's a safe bet but after listening to SF1, I'm now unsure he can qualify for the finals. Still a great track :D

2024 will be the year, where I took part (after a long long time) in every competition.

 

I already have a song for BJSC 169. :D

Congrats on your top 10 placement Ben…I’ve been enjoying your entries <3

it is such a crime that Stolen Dance came LAST in the semis :drama:

Thanks Addy, I can say the same :D

That was scandalous and my last entry for a very long time :lol:

 

BTW I'm planning to enter a trance song from 2000. So I go back to the past. Should I go for the radio edit or the Original mix (8 min!)?

If 8 mins has a nice build up and keeps it interesting then yes go for 8 mins, but if it’s just 2 extra minutes of bass on both ends and adds nothing then go for radio edit. Does it have vocals as well?

No vocals (really). I stick with the radio edit
