Song of the Week: Sensorium
Well, it’s Monday, which means it’s time for another Song of the Week! This week we give you Sensorium, by MerKa. Stepped by Jimerax, it’s a relatively slow song (under 140 BPM), but makes up for this with plenty of 16th stream and jumpstream, so it’s still a challenge. Sensorium can be found on the first page of Dance.
Happy FFR’ing,
Song of the Week Players Matched Up
As many of you may know, the FFR players have been playing this week’s Song of the Week – 20031023 hard and heavy. As a result, many of the competitors are now tied for the top spot of high score. The current Top 10 for 20031023 tells the tale as it were:
1 – dAnceguy117 – 1734450
2 – Shashakiro – 1734450
3 – Bahamut-X – 1734450

10 – Breach – 1733625
Often times it may seem that we focus in on only a few of our top players. However, n3v3rl4nd pointed out that it would be a good idea if we make an effort to mention other top players at FFR and put their names up in lights.
We generally do our best to listen to your suggestions. Always feel free to comment and give us feedback. We will do our best to make sure that your ideas are taken into consideration for future enhancements.
As promised,
Jason Key and the Advil Junkies
Song of the Week – 20031023 By DJ Sharpnel
As was mentioned, Shash & I (Tass) now have access to quickly upload new Songs of the Week. After a minor glitch this morning, we present you another excellent song from the collection of DJ Sharpnel (NSFW warning). 20031023 is upbeat and will prove to be a challenge to most players, although it is by far the easiest Sharpnel song on FFR. Stepped by Rebirth0, it is extremely fun and accurate to the song. You can find 20031023 on page 1 of Dance.
Note: Feel free to discuss in the forum as well – SotW – 20031023. (jk)
Have fun and happy finger dancing!
Cheers,

Straight to Round 4
EDIT: If you’re using Internet Explorer and having some trouble getting into multiplayer or getting scores recorded–it’s being worked on, please be patient 
Straight to Video, the MSI song that was accounced to be on FFR, has finally arrived! The steps are by Psychozerosk8er, it’s fairly long (3:44), and has a moderate difficulty level. Straight to Video can be found in the Rock section of FFR, and more information on MSI can be found in this news post.
Also (nice how these keep coinciding, eh), the fourth round of the FFR tournament has started–check this thread for details. The fourth round concludes the winners’ bracket for the Expert division, and will produce one finalist who will play the winner of the losers’ bracket.
Happy FFR’ing,
FFR Tournament Round 3 + Song of the Week
The third round of the tournament began two days ago–check this thread for which songs to play, matchups, and results from Round 2. If you’ve managed to make it to Round 3, don’t forget to submit by Wednesday, October 4th.
Also, the Song of the Week was released yesterday. This week’s song, Famouz, sets a record for being the shortest song ever added to FFR, at a mere 49 seconds in length–but with nearly 400 steps in that 49 seconds, it’s quite challenging, so don’t be fooled by the short length. The song is by Richee, an up and coming electro/rap artist who uses a unique blend of synthwork and sliced beats behind his lyrics to give his music a unique sound. He is currently attending college and working on his first album release. For more music by him, check out his official page at www.switchee.com. Famouz, stepped by Mead1, can be found in the Hip-Hop genre of FFR.
Tournament Round 2 and Song of the Week 2
The first round of the FFR R1 tournament is over, and Round 2 has begun! Check this thread to see the results and scores from Round 1, as well as the Round 2 songs and matchups for those who made it through the first round.
Also, this week will feature not one, but two new songs for FFR. The second song of the week will be Klung Kung 2004, which is already a Spin it Up song and will join the ranks of FFR songs tonight or tomorrow morning at the same time that Jelly Roll Blues is added.
Something besides “Cheers”,

Song of the week, and future step artists!
We’re reviving dead genres in back to back weeks. This week it is Rock, with Victims & Martyrs by Allrise. Allrise is an indie band from Southern California whose music is self-described as Melodic Hard Rock. The stepchart is by T0rajir0u and isn’t that difficult; either Tricky or Difficult. If you like the song, check out the rest of Allrise’s work on their website, www.allrisemusic.com or via download on iTunes.
Second on the agenda, Jello will be joining LD in helping to manage song of the week. We will be looking for a few new step artists, and are interested in hearing from you! If you’re interested in being a step artist, read further into this story for details!
Cheers,
The FFR Staff & their Victims

Song of the week: Time for some rag!
This week’s Song of the Week takes us back in time, to 1899. Composed by Scott Joplin, Maple Leaf Rag is an upbeat song that would be classified as Ragtime, a pre-cursor to Jazz, but also a modern Classical of sorts. Performed by Benjamin Robert Tubb (stepfile by Jimerax), of www.pdmusic.org, this classic will be much easier than EHHS or Pants, but hopefully still a challenge for everyone. MLR will be the first addition to the Classic page in years. So go check it out now, and also check out pdmusic.org for all of your pre-1923 American favorites.
Cheers,
FFR Staff and The Sting
