ECLECTIC PICKS - 2024

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 10th June: 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/batch533

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.

Lyric

I’m leaving Memphis.
This is breaking my heart.
Heading up to New York, maybe?   
I’ll get a head start.

Passing thru Philadelphia,
Where we - fell at the start.
I’m leaving Memphis.
This is breaking my heart.

I’m leaving Memphis.
Before I lose my mind.
On my way out to Mobile, maybe?
Thinkin’ ‘bout leavin’ all the time.

Passing over Atlanta,
Where we stole that car.
I’m leaving Memphis.
As soon as I’ve covered my scars.

I didn’t know where to find you.
I don’t know where I’m going.
Heading East or West, maybe?
It could be North or South?

I’m seeing rainbows.
And at the end - my pot of gold.
I’m leaving Memphis.
Now your love has turned cold.

I traded in my wings and wheels.
Losing out on the deal- 
Picked up by a guy in a Buick 6,
from a corner on Route 66.

Said- “I’m leaving Memphis!”
Another man stole my heart.
Heading out to California with him
gonna, make a brand-new start.

Drivin’ thru Winslow, Arizona,
where, we - just fell apart.
Said “I’m leaving Memphis!”
Another man stole my heart.

"Hey everyone, I'm thrilled to share my latest creation, 'When I See You The Very First Time.' It's a song straight from my heart, capturing that incredible feeling when you meet someone who feels like they've always been a part of your life. I poured my soul into both writing and singing this, hoping to convey the overwhelming emotions of connection and destiny. I truly hope you enjoy listening as much as I loved creating it. Your support means the world to me! 🎶"

"When I See You The Very First Time" by-Aljakhope

Disorder is taken from Keening's second album - James Francis Diaries.
Preorder available here - https://darkliberationrecords.bandcamp.com/album/james-francis-diaries-2
James Francis was the lead singer of the cult band Strange Ones. He disappeared in 1993 from the island of Losse in Scotland where he was recording his debut album.

In 2022, James’ tapes and diaries were given by James’ parents to the band Keening. Keening had discovered and fallen in love with the Strange Ones' records and learned about James’ disappearance. The original demos themselves, even with digital restoration are unlistenable as James distorted the recordings and overdubbed them with found sounds from the island. Instead of replicating the songs, Keening decided to write their own music inspired by James’ diary, the mystery surrounding his disappearance, his lyrics, and the island of Losse. James’ edited diary is included here for interest and with the permission of his family.

'My Old Man' is a a hymn for the working man. Unsung hero's who graft their whole lives, to support their families. This is a song of solidarity when his ‘chips are down' and he can no longer provide for his family.

This was a long time coming, the band took extreme care to do this great Bruce Springsteen song justice…”Are there any rockers alive out there…!”

Following a string of underground hits, Circle Red (never ones to stand still or experiment) return with a mood study reflective of their 
time amongst the streets and rehearsal rooms of Bristol.

With echoes of Massive Attack, Morcheeba and Portishead this
delivers a deep. dark bass punctuated by a crisp snare and a sultry, almost electrifying vocal that sets the soul on fire. One for those lazy, hazy summer nights as you pull your partner close and hold on forever.

Mesmeric!

I can't sit still while listening...

I'm walkin' down the street 
And my heart goes boom 
In a minute we will meet 
And my heart goes boom 
When we are together 
I want love forever 
I'm walkin' down the street 
And my heart goes boom, boom, boom 
And my heart goes boom 

Baby be my lover, I don't want no other 
What I really, really, really want is you 
I don't need no education, stupid conversation 
For the things I wanna do 
Baby be my lover, I don't want no other 
You are what I really, really, really want, it's true 
I can't wait to see you 
Wrap my arms around you 
Show you what I really wanna do 

La Di Da Da La La La La La La 
La Di Da Da La La La La La La 
La Di Da Da La La La La La La 
Da Di Da Da La La La La La La
 Jusqu'à présent Je n'ai jamais senti 
La force de ton amour 
Si tu veux tout savoir 
Je sais bien qu'un jour 
Nous nous reverrons 
Et ça pour toujours 
Oh, mon amour 
Laisse moi te toucher 
Caresser ta peau 
Ça me fait rêver 
Danser sur des rimes 
Qui nous font vibrer 
Je t'aime pour toujours 
Et ça tu le sais 

Your kisses are so sweet 
And my heart goes boom 
You're the only one I need 
And my heart goes boom 
The world keeps turnin' 
My heart keeps burnin' 
I'm walkin' down the street 
And my heart goes boom, boom, boom 
And my heart goes boom 

Baby be my lover, I don't want no other 
What I really, really, really want, it's true ( Boom, Boom, Boom ) 
I can't wait to see you 
Wrap my arms around you 
Show you what I really, really, really, really, really, really 
Really, really, really wanna do 

La Di Da Da La La La La La La

Hero´s  My Heart Goes Boom

DJ - Hero - Soft - 522 - Hero´s - My - Heart - Goes - Boom

Circle Red are musicians and producers based in the United Kingdom and run the Full Send DNB record label. They defy categorisation and live in their own musical universe populated with infectious beats, experimental rhythms and big dance-a-long anthems. They possess a flamboyancy seldom seen on the live circuit, delivering swathes of gloriously fusioned dance music to mesmeric effect.

Although largely based within the drum and bass scene they are not restricted by code, fad or fashion and are equally at home in dubstep and even hip hop, as their recent reese filled remix of Tupac Shakurs ‘Nothin’ to lose’ will testify.

There is nothing contrived about Circle Red; their musical landscapes simply reflecting the mood and tone of each individual song and all delivered with a sonic kiss. 

Live you can expect to hear an eclectic mix of dance music from dnb rollers through to a rock onslaught and everything in between.

Isn’t it time for you to join the circle?
