One song per round, all electronic songs. Whoever has the better songs in the voters' eyes is the victor.
I did two of these with RM years ago, and we split the series 1-1. This will break the tie (for now at least, it depends if RM wants to do more of these).
Round 1 - Pro
I liked how Lunar Abyss was more fast-paced, and I didn't love the vocals in Distance, though there's no accounting for taste. I also think Lunar Abyss had a much stronger opening, whereas the vocals in Distance became a bit better near the end.
Round 2 - Pro
I appreciated the rhythm in Blue more than in Baddest Things. Maybe the latter is an acquired taste, but after the first few seconds, I do feel that the different sound effects and beats didn't harmonize as well. I'm no music expert, so this is just coming from my opinion, but I just liked the beat in Blue more all the way through.
Round 3 - Pro
The intro to Once Again felt like it could have been in Interstellar. I also thought the vocals fit with the instrumental. I did like the vocals a bit more in Turn Left, but the instrumental in Once Again was enough to carry it (even ignoring the fact that I should maybe be weighing the vocals less since this is an EDM battle.)
Round 4 - Pro
A New Dawn started with a good intro hook and picked up well as it went on. It als finished strong, even if the melody was a bit repetitive (but that's to be expected in EDM). That said, I thought Green & Gold relied a bit too much on the vocals, while there was more range to the beat in A New Dawn
Round 5 - Con
Moonbeam was nice, but in addition to sounding similar to a lot of what Pro had already posted, it didn't feel as emotive as Strangers. I also like that the beat in Strangers was a bit more versatile.
My vote goes to Con.
Round 1: Pro
Round 2: Tie
Round 3: Con
Round 4: Con
Round 5: Con
So whoever has best songs in voter's eyes is a victor.
Round 1 is for Pro.
Pro presents a song which for the first two minutes just caused me headache.
But somehow, after two minutes it gets really good and you even feel like dancing to it.
Con presents a solid song which is good from start to finish, but it is still outweighed by Pro's song even when we include that first two minutes of Pro's song are bad, because Pro's song rises to greatness later.
Round 2 is a tie.
This one simply felt like both songs were unmoving. I had to force myself to listen to both in hopes they get good by the end, but neither did.
Round 3 goes to Con.
Pro says his song is not repetitive, which is just one of the issues I find with it. The song seems to be playing 3 or 4 different things one after another and I simply cant bring myself to enjoy the fact that it abandons rythm in favor of some musical chaos.
Con's song was much more enjoyable, and far outweighs that song.
Round 4 goes to Con.
Con seem to have figured out the mistake from round 2, so he didnt post another song like from round 2. But Pro's song is almost same in quality from round 2 and 3. It fails to build mood. It never takes you on the path of excitement. While Con's song wasnt exactly great, it at least caused some joy while listening it.
Round 5 goes to Con
This was a very slight win, but Con's song has female voice and singing, where Pro's song doesnt. Con's song brings more joy while listening to it and I am far more likely to be willing to dance to it, which is an important quality in a song.
Based on that, I give round 5 to Con.
Overall, Pro's best rounds were 1 and 5, where Con's best rounds were 3 and 5 and 4.
I can say that Pro's song from round 1 is about as good as Con's song from round 3.
Pro only gave 2 good songs, and Con gave 3, and Pro's both best songs lose to Con's best song given in round 5.
I gave my reasoning for my vote in the comments. Rm's music was slightly less shitty than mharmans overall but more gay.
I did let quality be a heavier factor than gayness and RM won 3 rounds to mharmans 2
Round 1: Con
Round 2: Pro
Round 3: Pro
Round 4: Con
Round 5: Pro
Pro takes it 3-2.
Stand out tracks for each side:
Pro - Moonbeam by Waterflame x F-777. Jived hard with this one from the opening beats and it was just a great time throughout.
Con - Distance by Apashe ft. Geoffrey (VOLAC Remix). While HALUNA's vocals probably stood out the most across the songs you posted, this was my favorite marriage of vocals and electronica.
Mhar wins round 2 and 4
RM wins 1, 3, and 5
This is just my opinion:
Round 1: PRO wins
Round 2: Tie
Round 3: CON wins
Round 4: Tie
Round 5: PRO wins
Ty for your vote.
I think you enjoy hypnotic vibes to a song in a song.
That's what the first 2 had less than the latter 3 from me.

ill probs vote soon on this to break the tie
looks like me and grey parrot had the same exact wins for each round
well this is a crazy series of votes, whatever the hell has happened I didn't see coming.
I actually find it funny that Wylted who didn't share nearly any of my taste suddenly agreed with loving my Round 3.
I also find it funny how he didn't like my Round 4 but dug my Round 5 since they are both the pop-edm fusions but my Round 4 leaned drum n bass while my Round 5 leaned hardstyle and techno (which he didn't realise he liked).
Ur fine. Just be aware that there are some jokes you could make here that could actually land you in trouble.
Sorry. Bad joke.
If you are joking, I don't know why you would even joke about that.
If you have an alt account, ask the mods to close it and apologize. Multiaccounting is not to be tolerated here.
It would break the tie.
Should I vote on my alt account too?
I am just an idiot with bad taste in music who was asked to share his opinion and the chanting reminded me of a few beheading videos I watched.
how is my round 2 like Hamas chants?
Anyway ty for the vote.
If fish chaser prefers music that makes his chakras feel good that should be a reasonable vote.
Unfortunately RM had a decent song in round 5.
I am annoyed now that my recommended have likely been altered. I am also annoyed that I had to watch ads for RMs songs but not for mharmans.
I also hate techno and probably leaned towards songs that sound less techno and for that I apologize in advance but RM wins.
the 'degenerate' is the woman if anything, what nonsense are you even saying man like seriously
Mharman round 5. It sounds like the background music to a space shooter game. Very mid song. If rms song is shit mharman will win. If TMs song is good and he has only had 1 good song than RM wins.
If Rms song is mid also it comes down to who had the least gay song.
Rm round 4. The song is aboutbsimping and portrays some loser who is a drug addict or alcoholic or other sort of degenerate. I oppose both degeneracy and simping so the round goes to mharman
Mharman round 4. This is his first song I actually liked the sound of.
Rm round 3.
This is the first song u actually would consider adding to my Playlist so I have to give RM the point for round 3
Mharman round 3 is a song supporting biden by adapting his slogan of build back better
Rm round 2 sounds like the chants I heard from hamas when thy were raping an killing Israeli children.
I cannot support terrorism so round 2 goes to mharman
Mharman round 2 sounds like a sexy woman making sex noises. Erection officially lost now
RM song 1 sounds like a guy gargling on cock.
Round 1 goes to RM for making me hard
Mharman song 1 feels like a 90s intro to a goosebumps style show
Didn’t give much thought to scoring, honestly.
If you did scoring instead of round wins, would I still have lost?
What do you agree on
I agree with FishChaser on this one.
Not really dude. Your vote seems fake, go song by song give a score or feedback or round by round at least.
Then I can't get it removed even if you're trollvoting.
You targeted me only as a declaration of war.
I agree, remove the other 2 make everyone justify their vote
The only difference between my vote and the others is that I didn't go round for round. Referring to my "chakras" was just another way of saying I had a better feeling when listening to Mharman's picks.
You deleted my vote because you're a corrupt mod with anti-favoritism towards me and not because of the vote itself.

>Reason for Mod Action:
Even while this debate falls into a non-moderated category, there are occasionally exceptions.
Since neither debater mentions chakras, and AFAIK likewise with their songs, the vote ends up feeling like one cast without regard for the debate itself.
In essence, this vote was just too vague... This can be avoided in future by just commenting on the core contention (and the main counterpoint or the lack thereof), listing a single source you found important (if voting sources), saying what conduct violation distracted you (if voting conduct)... You need not write a thesis, but some minimal level of detail is required to verify knowledge of what you're grading.
**************************************************
My chakras never lie.
The votes are full of people just stating their opinions with no basis, because this is a subjective topic.
I report fishchaser's vote to a mod
Respectfully disagree. If Greyparrot's vote is legit, so is 7000series's vote. You can question FishChaser's vote to some mod if you want, although I doubt they'd remove it.
In my eyes we are 1-1 because GP and WF are the only real votes ATM.
I enjoyed listening to all of these, but I'll admit I don't listen to a lot of electronic music. There's only so many different kinds of taste in music you can account for with these.
The fact I won Round 4 against what I see as his best but lost against some I don't get of his tells me your taste were too different from the general Electronic fan for me to foresee.
I did predict someone like you showing up hence the 4 , 5 and 1 choices.
They were for the more chill palette to still enjoy while not being too severely chill.
You can use any system but don't just pick absolute best and vote for them if the other 4 were trash.
You can even just do rounds and make it best of 5.
Average score is preferred to voting best 1 song.
I might vote on this tommorrow when I find time to listen to all that.
I plan to listen it all at once, and I will rank songs in order of quality.
I am just wondering if I should vote for one who has one song better than all other songs, or if I should go by average points, because these two voting styles might affect the outcome and who gets the win.
I don't consider this a real loss.
This was bs.
hell yeah
I think you will absolutely love this shit:

watch it, don't just listen.
Fine.
Bias is to be expected. Vote.
you are the only option to break the tie
I am not about to vote and be accused of bias unless I am the only option to break the tie
Alright, I'll get to this.
