Boardsies Decide - Greatest Electronic Dance Song Ever!

ShaneU

Lots of dance music fans on here so lets give this a go.

PM me (up to) ten of your favourite electronic dance songs. It can be trance, techno, house, chill out, dubstep, whatever!

My first time running a tournament so if someone could point me in the direction of an app or website to help organise it that would be great

Tournament kicks in the flow in June sometime...

Gerrup!

JP Liz V1

Kol or Mac are the tournie kings on here so they should be able to advise help you

I will get my electronic dance hat on

Alright you! Start talkin'. How much is Kolido paying you?

Necro

Noms in.

Shane what I usually use is an excel/sheets spreadsheet and just a seperate sheet for each round.

Getting your YouTube links are usually the most time consuming part, once you have that on the first sheet you can just copy them from sheet to sheet as they progress.

So something like this

Sephiroth_dude

In

quickbeam

+1 for using Excel too.

Rikand

Will submit a selection of songs that are guaranteed to go out in the first round later

Kolido

Will get mine in over the weekend, looking forward to this.

Regarding the running of these, Google sheets/Docs are good if you mod from multiple devices plus thanking vote posts while counting keep you from double counting any

I sat down to think about this and now I have 20 songs jotted on a sheet of paper... only 10 will be hard...

I'd also echo the other posts on using excel. I used it for the tourneys I did last year. Fairly handy once you have all the entries in to put a structure on it. Maybe just use a random number generator or similar to make pairs for each subsequent round if you want to have it truly random.

I'd have (and I think it's happened in other tourneys run by Kol) that seeds get a bye to a second round if there are an awkward number of songs to deal with, or I'd have made an effort to put songs with multiple nominations in opposite ends of the draw.



.... Bobby Jo.... there's a blast from the past

Same, hard to know what way to go, not chart commercial but not too obscure either...

And the other option is, submit the 9 minute original mix or the 3 minute radio edit IF there is one....

ari101

Sent in 10, its been about 10 minutes, I'm still waiting for the regrets to emerge in cutting it to 10 :pac:

ShaneU

70 songs in so far, unsurprisingly they are all unique given the broadness of this category. But we need moar!

rainbowtrout

I have this CD in my car, and gave it a blast over the weekend... and was 'Oh I could have submitted that... and that... and that.....'

Sephiroth_dude

Jaysis, I didnt submit any Matt Darey ones but he had some great songs. Liberation and See the Sun. I still listen to See the Sun all the time. Its a great long shower tune

I used to listen to the TranceMatch when I first started getting into trance. Had some great tunes on it. 3 of which I have sent in coincidentally lol

And I spent years listening to the trance channels on di.fm all the time too. This set from Tsushima Masaki just had so many great tunes on it. Man I spent so many years spamming up the chat channels on di.fm with other ravers chair dancing our way through the workday lol See me Here and Breathe are two amazing tracks off this set. If you like to go on a trip, I recommend Art of Trance most seriously. In my top 3 producers of all time. Unreal compositions!

We'll probably lose so lol

ShaneU

107 unique songs entered for this. If there are no more nominations I'll add in some of the more obvious songs that are missing to get to 128 and start there.

Quantum Erasure

I'll throw together some random ones in the next while.... cant decide on what to put in so it'll be an eclectic mix

I submitted my ..... 12.... favourite tunes of all time. They might not be the best or most well known but I love them all for different reasons and they all remind me of a particular good time in my life so thats why they went in

Irish Aris

Forgot about this completely, just sent a few of the classics, just in case no one else has submitted them

ShaneU

Alright I should be free to start this Tuesday next week.

Still accepting noms until then

ShaneU

Actually screw it I'll start it tomorrow morning
