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 2nd October: 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/batch543

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 543

Disco is the gift that keeps on giving & nobody serves it up quite like the Mas Que Nada Crew. Established in 2019, Manchester duo Ross / Keel took to the scenes of London to deliver the best in house, disco, funk & everything in between.  

Fast forward two years & they now hold a regular residency over on select radio & Brixton's Prince of Wales. With big things on the horizon, we’re most looking forward to catching them in Liverpool at Hanger 34 with Michael Grey & Hollie Profit on May 24th. 

For the next hour they’re taking over the HOC archive, bringing that funky baseline with them. This is Mas Que Nada.

HOC Archives EPS 8: MAS QUE NADA(DISCO)

A mood piece intended to convey the confusing nature of dreams, the memories that sometimes insert themselves, & the emotions evoked.

Dream Shift

You, Me & Desire

Full Grown Man

Hungover, looking like I’ve been dragged backwards through a cement mixer
Paler than a ghost with eyes the size the fucking craters
If Ugly Betty’s ugly, then what does that say about me?

Mars Rover, waking up alone with no one’s head over my shoulder
I wouldn’t have it any other way but now I’m older
This single bed looks funny, probably says lots about me

I don’t think about it too much
Just every waking moment
Send me to sleep, or sell me some weed
If the edge is off I’m golden

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ugly Betty

shauna Mc Ardle - Scenes of space

“LITTLE BOYS” is a bold and unapologetic anthem that tackles the themes of immaturity and self-worth, delivering a message of strength, independence, and emotional growth. With its catchy hooks and a dynamic blend of indie-pop and contemporary elements, the song captures the frustrations and realisations of growing past toxic relationships, reclaiming your power and knowing when to walk away.

LYRICS

A penny for my thoughts doesn’t go a long way
When I’ve been chasing lanes on a motorway
The necessary evils coming out to play
Remind me you’re gone

I’m still on my own but I’m breathing
I smashed up my phone for no reason

I’m a lonely heart in a lonely town
And I build you up but you let me down 
I’m a lonely heart in a lonely town
And I build you up but you let me down

Silence only comes when you scream the most
Can we keep it down? No-one has to know
Start another fire when you see the smoke
We’ve still a long way to go

I’m still on my own but I’m breathing
I smashed up my phone for no reason

I’m a lonely heart in a lonely town
And I build you up but you let me down 
I’m a lonely heart in a lonely town
And I build you up but you let me down

It only takes a flicker
To know you’re still alive
My tongue is burnt and bitter
We’ll keep running reds to burn this city down

I’m a lonely heart in a lonely town
And I build you up but you let me down 
I’m a lonely heart in a lonely town
And I build you up but you let me down

Running Reds
