There’s a song in this year’s #Fedivision Song Contest called “Snork (We’re OK)” which appears to be a promotional surf-rock anthem by Duchy of Snork’s Ministry of Tourism. While this song might seem to be the work of Postwar Vulgar (@DuchessOfSnork), I have it on good authority that they had nothing to do with it. I hope the Duchess likes it. Vote code SNOR

The lyrics for “Tap My Toes” by Leigh Harrison (@elsemusic) encapsulates the spirit of #Fedivision perfectly. This is a really cool song and I’ve already added it to my favourites on Soundcloud. Great work. Vote code CABA

“The Y-Files” by aflands (@aflands) is a dark experimental synth soundscape. Cool vibe. Vote code AFLA

A song about a life wasted to modern distractions, “Irresistible Meltdown” by Kris Madaus (@Runningkow) has that sweet ‘80s vibe I’m always craving. Good song! Vote code OSKY

“The Funniest Thing” by MyLoFy (@MyLoFy) feat. Aaron (@convolution) has been created using only open source software.

“Thanks to ardour, surge-xt, LSP, airwindows, x42, falktx, guitarix, zamaudio and many more of our FOSS heroes!” ~ MyLoFy

A chill ‘80s sounding synth song with a story of watching the world burn through social media. Thoroughly enjoyable. Emoji thumbs up!! Vote code FOSS

The opening synth bass and drums set up the guitar nicely in this song about the most innocent man in the world. The melody is great, the composition is top tier, and the discordant solo and abrupt ending is just the cherry on top. Love this song. “Innocent” by death ponee (@slvrbckt) Vote code ELAN

#fedivision

If I made keygens, this is the song I’d want to play. “Site-23” by Fabi (@fabi) has produced a banger chiptune here. Great tune! Vote code BLAH

#fedivision

The cruisey beat and chill melody belie the seriousness of the lyrics in “Open Your Eyes” by Ferocious Designs (@ferociousdesigns). Excellent song. Important message. Vote code KAST

#fedivision

Blade Runner vibes. “File Already Exists: Overwrite?” by 19th Incarnation (@GothAndy) is a track that would improve any cyberpunk game. Love it. Vote code COSM

#fedivision

Surprisingly few rappers in Fedivision. Well, I was surprised. I spend a lot of time on Soundcloud though, so that probably skewed my expectations. We do get a freestyle though. “aAa freestyle” by daYs ending in Y (@philsawa) lays down a track that truly embraces the spirit of Fedivision. Glad you got a “round tuit”. Vote code CANA

#fedivision

Has anyone cracked the code yet? “Peaceful on the Surface” by Trebach (@trebach) has a message hiding in this track. I believe they’ve dropped a few hints on their profile for those sleuths among you. Nice job! Vote code CONF

The artist states that they wanted chaos and noise.
“C'est ça la rime” by Me In The Bath (@CremRoad) is a #Fedivision entry this year. It’s in French, but the lyrics aren’t the only thing I don’t understand. It’s definitely an experience. Vote code OIMC

It’s not often that an artist creates a new language for their song, but that’s what’s happened with “zwikąt” by Xym (@rybson). If the words to express yourself don’t exist, make some new words! Cool concept. Vote code OBTG

I really enjoy “The New Rage” by Negative Players (@negativeplayers).
A superbly crafted piece that takes you on a journey which feels quite lighthearted until you listen to the dark story being told underneath the cheery melody. Vote code NRCI.

There’s some amazing music on show in #Fedivision2024

I was blown away by how good the AI vocals are on “Federation” by Marcus Bointon (@Synchro). Absolutely superb. Good lyrics speak on the state of social media too. Vote code TCRE

I’m going to mention “The Roses Outside Grow Suspiciously Red” by Dace Merryweather (@Dace) because I’m a sucker for songs that tell a story, and this song definitely does that! Fun guitars too!! Vote code MIRR

“Strange Tides” by RX1F (@voxpopsicle) is really very good. A proper shoutout to ‘80s synth-rock ballads. Such a nostalgia hit. Great song! Vote code LAPU.
