BUSH 2018: this is how we select the bands!
In the first phase we invite more than six hundred of the most household names from the Eastern European region’s music industry to pick at least five of their homelands’ musical acts. Bands from their own country that they think are export ready, have the buzz and are made up of committed musicians. Bands they would love to see catapulting into stardom.
Once we receive these ‘national’ suggestions from all BuSH Selectors, the process steps into the second phase: top voted bands from each country are being sent out to all participating selectors to rate them, obviously excluding the artists from their own countries. Therefore a Polish BuSH Selector gets a list without Brodka or Coals and a Romanian BuSH Selector gets it without their national heroes of electronic music, Golan.
And they rate what they hear. By aspects like: do you like the sound? Would you book this band in your club or festival? Do you think it has potential abroad? Does it feel pro?
Finally we only have to collect these ratings and process them mathematically. And in the end VOILA, we get the most suggested bands from the international BuSH Selector team!
