2022

Acknowledgement

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 27th June 2022: 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/batch453

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.

ECLECTIC PICKS - 2022 (Part 2) (Freshonthenet)

Hey thanks for stopping by
lyrics:

Old stones and piles of bones
sleeping in the sand
they can wait forever

for some great futures hands
to feel the weight of time
and put it all together. 

my my
the truth will never satisfy
my eyes
the truth will never satisfy
my pride 
the truth will never satisfy
quite like denial.

old words they sound too good
etch them in your skin
stay the same forever

some future prize to win
feel the weight of time
life is now or never

Tender

This is about a place i love in portugal where my step family lives where sadly we found lithium...
(traduit plus bas)
-----
It's a small piece of paradise but
I get lost all the time
When I'm alone
When I feel sad
It's rising up, knocking my beating heart, and now, every night

There are no  words to describe it 
You know, this view is unique
have a  look at the sight
So what about Earth ?
What about us ?
What are we waiting for to wake up ?

Gazing, watching the sky from this place
Stands for all the speeches
Protect my river
Please save it

Gazing, observing life in this place
That's what learning is
Protect the river
Please save it

All ressources, Commodities 
Have soon raised the stakes
And within months, companies came
Sounds clear, the paradise that blinds them
Is more and more lithium

But we'll waste it again
And we will dig again
Even deeper, harder, everywhere !
And the rivers will disappear, polluted at their heart
And our tears will form new rivers to come
 
Gazing, watching the sky from this place
Stands for all the speeches
Protect my river
please save it

Gazing, observing life in this place
That's what learning is
Protect the river
please save it

Gazing, watching the sky from this place
Gazing, observing life in this place
Gazing, watching the sky from this place

----
C'est un petit coin de paradis mais
je m'y perds tout le temps
Quand je suis seul
Quand je me sens triste
Ça monte, frappe mon cœur qui bat, et maintenant, chaque nuit

Il n'y a pas de mots pour le décrire 
Vous savez, cette vue est unique
Jetez un coup d'oeil à la vue
Alors qu'est ce qu'on fait pour la Terre ?
Qu'est qu'on fait pour nous ?
Qu'attendons-nous pour nous réveiller ?

Regarder, contempler le ciel depuis cet endroit
Ca vaut tous les discours
Protégez ma rivière
S'il vous plaît, sauvez-la

Regarder, observer la vie à cet endroit
C'est ça l'apprentissage
Protégez la rivière
S'il vous plaît, sauvez-la

Toutes les ressources, les matières premières 
ont rapidement fait monter les enchères
Et en quelques mois, les entreprises sont venues
C'est clair, le paradis qui les aveugle
Est de plus en plus en lithium

Mais nous le gaspillerons encore
Et on creusera encore
Encore plus profond, plus fort, partout !
Et les rivières disparaîtront, polluées en leur cœur
Et nos larmes formeront les nouvelles rivières 
 
Regarder, contempler le ciel depuis cet endroit
Ca vaut tous les discours
Protégez ma rivière
S'il vous plaît, sauvez-la

Regarder, observer la vie dans cet endroit
C'est ça l'apprentissage
Protégez la rivière
s'il vous plaît, sauvez-la

Regarder, observer le ciel depuis cet endroit
Regarder, observer la vie dans ce lieu
Regarder, observer le ciel depuis cet endroit

Protect My River

Text:
Fortress

when the night disappeared 
the coming day was different.  
maybe it wasn't clear to you in the morning, 
but with the memory returning, 
the new day became paler and more spent.  

and where once have been green meadows 
now stands a dark fortress  
And I stand there outside, 
failed in the task of protecting you

I know, they are human beings
On the other hand 
Revenge is a human feeling

Now I'm standing here in front of your prison 
trying to convince you to swap places with them 
That they should bear the burden of their deed 
and let you go.  but you dare not do so

So all I have left is hope 
So all I have left is hope 
For you and for you and for you
For me

Fortress

A remix of our track Signs of Life by the artist Amongst the Pigeons

Signs Of Life - Amongst The Pigeons Remix

Official release date: 29th April
Pre sale date: 22nd April
Track genre: Melodic House / Breakbeat 

After a whirlwind year in 2021 having signed to the likes of Atlantic, Richie Blacker is storming straight into 2022 with a hypnotic vinyl release on Scotland's Limbo Records, featuring his high demanded original ‘Ketamine Dreams’. In this release Richie has created something modern yet giving a reminiscent nod to the 90s rave scene. ‘Ketamine Dreams’ is a euphoric melodic house banger, sparkled with psychedelic synths and a tight breakbeat rhythm which gives it a unique sound unlike anyone else; this is probably one of Blacker’s most prized productions. With releases on the likes of Of Unsound Mind, Anjunabeats & Nothing Else Matters under his belt and having received BBC Radio 1's Future Fire Artist (2021), Richie Blacker is the UK’s next big electronic artist. Artwork custom made by the very talented RYCA (Fatboy Slim).

mtt PREMIERE : Richie Blacker - Ketamine Dreams | Limbo |

The table shown in the picture belongs to a suite of pieces of furniture crafted in the early 1990s for the interior of the Kremlin by an Italian carpenter's workshop specialising in oak-design.

A big Thank You to The Neighbor for dropping in and playing a wonderful guitar.

Oak

1
Out of one single seed
With lots of nutrients to feed
Within the ground
Out of a natural striving
Heavenwardly
At least 5 centuries ago

Cut one morning
Somewhen in the eighties or seventies
Last century, supposedly in Italy
Your leaves were so green - and
Then you stopped to breathe
And were stored and dried for ys

ref 
300 ys to grow,
300 ys to bloom,
300 ys to die
That’s your „normal“ life

2
Skilled artistic carpenter hands have worked upon you 
After your death with devotion
Cutting, sanding and priming -
„Lying Flat“ on these three pillars
Born out of a single notion:

"A place to meet",
10 elliptical, oval square
Out of one single piece
Lacquered in white and
Adorned with gold leaf
Six meters long, 2.50 wide

ref 
300 rings to grow,
300 rings to bloom,
And then 300 rings to die
Oh, that’s your „normal“ life

3
Hard to believe that must be necessary
Something like you
Being so earthbound and stable
Was that already inscribed  
Somewhere in your fibres ?
Ending up as a „dissension-table“ ?

Next moment the mad imperator will receive an unwelcome guest and 
An oppressive breathless coldness spreads  
Just for an instant before the lightnings of the camera flashes begin 
And then all this weighs down on you.

ref 
300 rings to grow,
300 rings to bloom,
And then 300 rings to die
You would have outlived us many times

out
Now that you are an icon 
The outmost insane things
Happen at your long edges - and
What have you done to deserve that one ?

You've Got a Lot to Learn

Shut Up!

slinky.to/splitscreens

Split screens on Sundays, tell me you miss it
Or are you doing something way better now?
Ashing your problems out of the window
Do you still lose sleep watching your reruns now?

Let's get you to bed, Sunshine
We'll talk in the morning
You'll be fine

How are your ratings? Do people like you?
I bet they don't 'cause they'll know the real you now
Did all the data that you let loose catch up to you?
'Cause it ought to

Let's get you to bed, Sunshine
We'll talk in the morning
You'll be fine

Role Play

This is our track palms - release date TBC

Ivory love scenes fall in front of me
Left curious… It makes me weak

Still finding use, Thoughts left opaque
I’m still finding it hard to witness this… fall away

Unsteady trends
Palms read dead ends

Upstaged routines fall right in front of me
So oblivious… it makes me weak

It’s getting used to past mistakes
Still finding it hard to witness this… fall away
fall away

Unsteady trends… Palms read dead ends
