Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 4th March 2024: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch521

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

"With My Love" - are the first words, on the first Carte de Visite, written beneath a basket of flowers, in an incomplete sandalwood bound family photo album from the late 19th century. With colour photography a distant development, these petals and stems would likely have been coloured and augmented by hand. 

Carte de Visites were a small format of photograph patented by André Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri. These small (often albumen) prints would be collected, generated, and exchanged in an equivalent manner to visiting cards. They would form a sort of proto 'social media', finding their home amidst the curios of Victorian Parlours. As well as famous figures, images of one's own relatives were often procured, with studios popping up across the country, affording the well to do a glimpse at their own visage, and an opportunity to share it with others. 

"With My Love" is an attempt to complete the history of a long-orphaned photo album bought in the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool, through 40 hand drawn ink sketches placed alongside the photographs in the missing frames. The accompanying music explores themes of lost histories, key Women in the beginnings of Photography, as well as selected Piano Works written within the project's duration. 

The Album will be a digital only release, with a bonus track available only via Bandcamp. Ten unique A5 Giclée prints of hand drawn pieces from the photo album on Bamboo paper will accompany the release. These are limited to one per order.

With My Love

Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping experience as these two hip-hop heavyweights bring the heat.

From the gritty streets to the studio, witness the journey as Kidd Kidd and B.G. lay down their unapologetic verses against a backdrop of street life and undeniable authenticity. 

Kidd Kidd, known for his razor-sharp flow and gritty storytelling, teams up with the legendary B.G., whose influence on the rap game is undeniable.

Yellow Tape ft. B.G.

Ramblin’ along with the help of ukulele and simple percussion, the optimistic, summertime vibe of ‘Happy Place’ summons a longing for simplicity and the comforting familiarity of a favourite holiday spot or childhood memory. Influenced by the light, bouncy sounds of artists such as Ed Sheeran or George Ezra, this song captures the contentment of standing still for a moment in this mad world and the beauty of simple pleasures.

Liverpool based duo APRIL MOON met Brighton born Kirzy on the Canary Island while playing music at local bars several years ago and knew that their music styles would be an interesting combination although this is the first time they’ve attempted songwriting together.

Happy Place
