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 July: 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/batch454

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.

Single Thread

This track is a stripped back mix of the most recent Two Black Sheep single release of "I Forgive Me". Gone are the acoustic guitars, bass and orchestral arrangements and the resulting remix a vocal performance  pushed to the fore with a minimal piano track that results in the personal emotional lyrics to stand out.
This mix is not available on general release via streaming platforms and can only be obtained on physical CD from the Two Black Sheep website.

All I Know

This is a song I wrote in a really lucid dream where I was recording this song. When I woke I could remember the chords and the lyrics to the first verse, so I wrote the song off those. I’m not sure the first verse lyrics make much literal sense, but they were in the dream, so it seemed only fair to work with what I’d been given.

Thi ssong features the very talented double bassist Colin Somervell (Hoatzin). The rest of it - guitars, drums, organ, vocals - is me in the usual fashion. All of it was recorded and mixed by me in my flat


On Into The Night (double bass)

Dan McKean cover of Gospel song 'I was There When It Happened', made famous by Johnny Cash.
