Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 18 September: from mid-day on Friday 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/batch254

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 254

@haikusalut are an instrumental ‘dream-pop-post-folk-neo-everything’ trio from the Derbyshire Dales who’ve gained worldwide acclaim for their three studio albums, their multi-instrumental live sets (including their spectacular, eerie ‘lamp show’) and most recently, their new soundtrack to Buster Keaton’s ‘The General’, that they toured live as part of the BFI’s Comedy Genius season.  

As our celebrations around International Women’s Day continue, enjoy a special mix curated and created by Sophie Barkerwood from the band exclusively for Juno Daily.

In the Mix: Haiku Salut - international Women's Day 2021

Attention: You might need headphones to hear some of the detail! 

Track made using the Synthstrom Deluge, and heavily influenced by Carsten Nicolai.

Night Shift

irini - lost in dreams

While a lot of DJ mixes attempt to build up an intensity throughout, the trajectory of this mix that @Northworks has created is one of decompression and release as it begins in an atmospheric techno space before gradually melting into some blissful ambient.

We Are Machine - Afterhours 016 - Northworks

Ambient tinged IDM and organic electronics from The New Human.

"Turadh" is our last release of the year and we're drawing the curtains on 2023 with a compilation.

For this mammoth twenty track effort, we’ve pooled together an eclectic array of accomplished producers that are either Scottish or based here.

All material on "Turadh" was created exclusively for the release.

Manfred Hamil - Gravity

Teri Mantere - guitar & vocals
Antti Kokkola - electric guitar
Esko Grundström - double bass
Juhana Kiiski - drums
Special guest: Linda Fredriksson - baritone sax & awesomeness

Teri Mantere is an Australian-born Finnish musician, who has moved back and forth between Finland and Australia several times, the last of which was this year. He has been writing music for around 20 years, and performing for at least 10, confusing people of all backgrounds with music that does not seek an outright genre but still gets a groove on. In this song he is joined by his confused band, The Manta Rays, as they sort through a range of questions, requesting back-up from a good friend and saxophonist.
'Questions' is a single from the band's new release "PART I", out digitally in all stores.

Lyrics:

Why take a stand
Why take a walk
Why think: "Gonna go"
Take time to talk
Why hide
Not tell, nor show

Why love, why lie
Why live, why die

Matter of fact
Try evidence
Matter for faith
Try providence
Why fight, why still
Why rage, kill

Why love, why...

Take alone
Or take tandem
Is there a reason
For this jealousy candid
Why none, why all
I'll climb, we'll fall
To chance trust
Is not to cower
And not to wilt
Is to flower

Why love...

All those sleeping beauties
Hit the spindle
They try the bottle
They try the needle

Why love...

Part I

Ocean Ruins - Love Drunk

Nice to lay down a mix without the camera being on you ;-) Slightly more chilled affair than the recent ADR mixes and the Max Cooper track is a particular highlight (for me at least). The Golden Baby is yet another alias of Traumprinz, Prime Minister of Doom, DJ Healer who seems very elusive... Enjoy the mix...

Volen Sentir - The Great Escape (Lost & Found)
Tim Green - Cedar (All Day I Dream)
Roy Rosenfeld - Sudden Realisation (b2b with itself) (All Day I Dream)
Roy Rosenfeld - What Happened to Me? (Rumors)
Dubfound - Gandhi's Nightingale (Mayak Russia)
Max Cooper - Supine (Original)(Fields)
Bärtaub ‎– Marble (R & S Records)
Golden Baby - Anotherchicagohooker (Forgotten World)

Rule Of 6 (Vinyl Mix) Oct 2020

Another in the series of our ADR's and what a belter it was. Never fails to amaze me the variety of tunes out there and the excellence of homespun selectors in putting them together.
