Round 1 of SpinTunes 24 is in the books, and a great round it was. Amid a very strong field of thirty entries, a recent SpinTunes champion slid back into the competition and earned a top-five placement from every judge, putting him comfortably at the top of the heap. Congratulations to our Round 1 winner, Tunes By LJ!
Another previous SpinTunes champion, Flintsteel (né Temnere) earns the points for a second place finish, but is tied with a SpinTunes newcomer, Vehicles of Beware. There's room for both of them on that side of the podium, leaving the third place spot vacant.
Read on for the full Round 1 results!
Before we look at the chart, I want to remind everyone of the shadow reinstatement rule, in which you could be eliminated in Round 1 but reinstated to fully competing status in Round 2. Here's how it works:
- If you rank 21st or higher in Round 1, you're automatically eligible to continue competing in Round 2.
- If you rank 22nd or lower in Round 1, you are encouraged to submit a shadow entry to Round 2 by the deadline of Sunday March 30, 11:59 pm EDT. (Since we gave you the challenge early, you might already have started writing one!)
- If one of the competitors fails to meet the deadline (or fails to submit at all), it creates an open spot that can be filled by one of the submitted shadows. If your shadow is chosen, you are reinstated into the competition as if you were never eliminated, and will be judged along with all the other Round 2 entries.
Got it? Now, on to the full Round 1 results!
The following artists scored below the elimination threshold, but might have a chance at reinstatement via the process outlined above:
- Boffo Yux Dudes
- Celestial Drift
- chewmeupspitmeout
- Dog Star Pilot
- "Fourty-Two"
- Hot Pink Halo
- Möbius Strip Club
- SunLite
