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 29th September 2025 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/batch583

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

VDS Podcast Nr.022 w/ @mme-bing (@pingipung)

2022年最後、22番目のVDS Podcastが到着しました！この素晴らしい1年を締め括り、このシーズンに相応しいストリングス満載のミックスを届けてくれたのはドイツのハンブルグを拠点に置く伝説的レーベルPingipungを手がけるMme Bing。

Mme Bing こと Andrea Wienck は熱心なレコード・コレクターで動物愛護家。彼女はレコード店で勤務する傍ら10年以上Pingipungレーベルを共同運営してきた。生々しくダークなメロディを丁寧に選ぶ彼女のセットはレアながら一聴に値する。ストリングス、ギター、メランコリーなメロディが交差するこのミックスはMme Bing 曰く「文鎮のようなハート」。Mme Bing はごろごろと鳴く猫を胸の上において聞く事を勧めています。


We're excited about VDS Podcast Nr.022 - our last VDS Podcast for the year of 2022! Closing this amazing year with a seasonal atmospherical string-packed journey is none other than one of the heads behind the legendary Pingipung label, Mme Bing from Hamburg, Germany.

Mme Bing, aka Andrea Wienck, is a passionate vinyl collector. She has honed her musical taste while co-running the Pingipung label for over a decade, as well as by working in record shops. She prefers her melodies raw and gloomy, and she selects them very carefully - it’s a rare but always delightful moment to catch her live at the decks.

Dive into this beauty of strings, guitars and melancholic melodies, which Mme Bing herself calls “The heart as a paperweight”. Mme Bing recommends listening to this set with a purring cat on your chest.

VDS Podcast Nr.022 w/ Mme Bing (Pingipung)

"A selection of records I have been digging in the North of France and Paris for the last months. The mix is influenced by my move last year from Tokyo (Japan) to Roubaix (France). Excited to share these sounds that have been entering my life lately: French and different oriental influenced folk and jazz with often medieval structure elements or instruments. Also one Egyptian and one Japanese record. This collection of tracks has been also inspired by my nomadic like lifestyle lately, travelling a lot, always on the move and encountering talented, raw, honest and inspiring people along the way."

Lyrics 
What have I learned what do I know 
Chasing time only to become 
Beneath your head my arm goes numb 
Beneath your head the pressure is warm 
What have I learned what do I know 
Still got to stretch and be someone
Beneath your head my arm goes numb 
Beneath your head 

Haunt here haunt now
Haunt now precious nothings
Haunt here haunt now 
Haunt here precious nothings 

City’s changing fast
Baby I feel slow
Hunger and pride monetised 
Can't see the sky it used to hold 
Baby I’m tired of packing, moving around 
Keep my head up when peace is a fight
Around your waist my arm goes tight 

Haunt here haunt now
Haunt now precious nothings
Haunt here haunt now 
Haunt here precious nothings 

City’s changing fast 
Baby I feel slow 
Can’t see the sky it used to hold 
I came unbraced 
Body aches in the race
And always someone to cash in on the process 

Haunt here haunt now
Haunt now precious nothings
Haunt here haunt now 
Haunt here precious nothings

Precious Nothings

Wenn sich eine Band auf schmissige Partyhymnen über den Tod und die Apokalypse versteht, dann The Burning Hell! Die kanadische Formation um Sänger und Songschreiber Mathias Kom hat es im Laufe ihres fast 20-jährigen Bestehens perfektioniert, Songs im Spannungsfeld von fröhlich-düster-melancholisch-komisch zu schreiben und sich dabei genretechnisch nicht festzufahren. Auf „Ghost Palace“ (2024), ihrem mittlerweile zehnten Album, bewegen sich The Burning Hell zwischen Garage-Folk, Lo-Fi-Power-Pop und Ukulele-Balladen und versehen ihre bitterbösen Songs erneut mit allerlei popkulturellen Referenzen. 

Bei ihrem Besuch im ByteFM Studio am 25. April 2025 hat die Band ihren Song „Ghost Palace“ live gespielt.

Fadeaway

Beloved visitors,

Know your roots, appreciate and accept them. I was heavily socialized with European dance music of the 1990s with the whole genre of trance music playing an essential part in my life back then. There's something quite addictive about this mixture of heavy bass-driven beats and trippy synthesizer patterns. Obviously, it's quite a cheesy sound but I recently found myself revisiting some of the music from back then, especially since I fell in love with psy-trance last summer and I should actually be dancing on a festival to this sound these days but since it's the summer of Corona I have to skip that for now. So, instead I produced a mighty throwback mix with some of my personal pop/dance/trance anthems from that specific period of time between 1998 and 2003.

That's the music I listened to in my youth, featuring personal hits and little treasures I recently rediscovered while digging through my personal archives. You can find tracks by producers like Chicane, Blank & Jones, ATB, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, RMB, Above & Beyond and a few more in here... all the big players from that big sounding field of electronic dance music. If you free yourself from certain expectations and, you know, whatever is considered cool these days it's actually fun to enjoy this sort of sound and - well - actually, feel the trance. It's quite an epic adventure but so is the music so the length is fitting. Let me know if you need any ID here. Thanks for joining me on this ride.

All the best
Burnout Sumner
