Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 10th May: 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/batch405

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Jazz is, at its core, an acoustic musical tradition focused on the real-time interactions of flesh-and-blood artists. But it’s also a wide-open creative process able to accommodate any number of styles, including those crafted using laptops and sequencers

Music To Shake A Hoof

Sunsqueezed

Medicine Man

The street lies dark
and sergeant O'Neil
is on night patrol
both hands on the wheel
The drunks and the thieves
He knows them by name
and it weighs on his heart
to see what they became

Every night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Father Mulholland
looks at the crowd
Five lonely souls
all with heads bowed
His sermons once flowed
with drive and conviction
now all he can muster
is drab repetition

Every Sunday is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

The excitement of youth
The thrill of the stranger
The great unknown
The sweet edge of danger
They fade over time
To tired resignation
To stay was a choice
is their pale justification

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Sally O’Brien
pulls one more beer
As it fills it reminds her
Of malt soaked tears
The drunks tell her stories
She's heard them all before
Their whole lives determined
By where they come from

Every Friday night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

More freedom, less drums - that's how you could judge Snack Villain's new single 'Brasília'. This track is released in a surprisingly free jazz spirit, but no less excellent... The producer is known for support from BBC6, BBC Radio1 Relax and Apple Music 1 Radio, as well as acclaim with publications like NME - who named him a Top 100 Artist 2019 - and Clash Magazine - who called him “a thorn in the side of musical complacency” and that he “taps into the Dilla legacy.” His new track respects the fundamentals of Detroit hip-hop, adding an interesting jazzy touch.
