Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 20th July: from around midday 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/batch375

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Give Up The Funk (for the people)

Give up the funk for a milliion dollars. Give up the funk for the Queen.
Tonight it's for real brothers and sisters. Give up the funk,
we need the funk, gotta have some funk.

Big Freak, you are like Sir Winston Elvis. Big Freak, you are like Prince Charlie in a halter back and it's for real brothers and sisters.
Give up the funk, we need the funk, gotta have some funk.

We want the funk (for the people)
Give up the funk (for the people)

Freaky little freak with your freaky little eyes. Freaky little geek told a pack of lies, spoke to David Bowie and shot off to fame.

Give up the funk for blood and honour. Give up the funk for Your Majesty.
Tonight it's for it's for real brothers and sisters.
Give up the funk, we need the funk, gotta have some funk.

We want the funk.
Give up the funk.

Freaky little freak with your freaky little eyes. Freaky little geek told a pack of lies, spoke to David Bowie and shot off to fame.

Give up the funk for a million dollars.
Give up the funk for a groove in e'ry heart.
Tonight it's for real brothers and sisters.

Give up the funk! We need the funk! Gotta have some funk!

We want the funk.
Give up the funk.

For the people!
For the people!

A song about strong characters I've met from the North of England, Some relentless optimistic people who inspire me in the hardest of times. There's more than a nod here musically to the genre of hard working early soul musicians, mainly from Detroit, who created the uptempo, less commercial, classic Soul records that were first appreciated in the North of England and became known as the Northern Soul genre.

Liquid Zoo is out now via @kanedarecords (link in bio)! It fuses vaporwave, IDM and trip hop influences in an exploration of technological utopias and the ethereal promises of better futures. It is a slice of unadulterated optimism, a dream of opulence in a digital world.

Liquid Zoo

Laid back soultronic beat accompanied by an honest and seductive topline. Kyanna speaks blatantly about how her weekdays are taken up, basically reciting her diary.   
Contemplating on whether love is worth her time and the ongoing internal conflict about maintaining the relationship, this summer vibe is a reflection on the recurring cycle that her decision has created.

HEROINE - ‘big brooding alt pop/rock for your ex lover to cry to’

“This isn’t a love song, it’s not about falling in love, it’s about lust, it’s about the painful moments when the distance between you feels so far. It’s screaming into the night hoping someone will hear you, it’s the battles as a young girl fighting against your sexuality, it’s full of fear and need” - Martha Phillips songwriting and vocalist. 
One of the first songs written by the band back in 2014, this song is a fan favourite at their live shows. For three years Martha would end every gig with ‘Heroine’ belting out the final note, using every last ounce of energy and passion to close the show on a spine tingling moment. 
This highly anticipated single holds an incredibly special place in the hearts of their fans, the band, their families and wider team. This release is for the day ones. 
“A song of this magnitude needed the right recording settings and it wasn’t until we met Dan Cox (Producer at Urchin Studios) that we knew we had met the right person to capture the raw energy of the live performance”  - Tom Palmer Drummer

The Last Goodbye Happens Everyday

‘No Belongings’ (31st July) is the new single from the second album by Balearic chill-out artists Aware, released world-wide via Beat Filter/Integrity Records.

An early version of this languid lounge heartbreaker featured on the Hed Kandi label’s iconic ‘Serve Chilled’ album series and was played by DJs across a pre-lockdown Ibiza, its haunting piano and minimalist downtempo arrangement creating an ambience of emptiness from which a comforting vocal brings reassurance and hope, before a closing trumpet refrain cradles your weary spirit.

Ibiza regulars for many years, Aware sit alongside the likes of Röyksopp, A Man Called Adam, Bent and Zero 7 on the finest sunset, chill-out & lounge albums, including releases for Café Mambo, REACT, BMG, Warners and the iconic Café Del Mar label for whose 20th anniversary celebrations Aware played a full-band live set in Ibiza to a crowd 2000-strong.

In addition to their own releases and composing for film & TV, Aware curated the very first album in the series of compilations for the now famous Hostal La Torre where they’ve enjoyed extensive stays and DJ’d sunset sets in the hills above San Antonio.

Aware are Mark Lane and Tina Morrison. ‘No Belongings’ drops on 31st July.

No Belongings (Radio Edit)

Aware - No Belongings (Radio Edit)

This summer, independent UK label Quickfix Recordings and Janelle Monae’s guitarist & multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Kellindo team up on a very special remix project!

Bringing together a bunch of talented underground producers from a diverse range of dance music, or EDM as it’s now known. From the retro synth-wave of The Subtheory via the fiesta feel of Lee Christian’s Fun Has Begun Remix - to the drum ’n’ bass mania of the JUICY RMX, closing out with the sun-baked hip-hop of Half Decent’s remix, it almost feels like being at a dance festival! (This is doubly true for the Quickfix Bandcamp exclusive version which has 3 bonus tracks!)

As an early taste of Kellindo’s new direction as a solo artist, the original “Summertime” (which we recommend you check out if you haven’t heard it yet) is a lush whilst epic soul rocker, that provides a plethora of gorgeous instrumentation for our cast of Remixers to repurpose and reimagine.

Like a visit to an aural ice cream parlour, all you have to do is pick your favourite flavour and surrender to the joys of summertime. The fun has begun....

Summertime Remixes

Kellindo - Summertime (Lee Christian's Fun Has Begun Remix)

“Having built a career in composing for film and advertising, it was particularly freeing to write without any direction and purpose, letting the music go on its own journey. Having the space to experiment allowed the music to go to some unexpected and wonderful places. Although ‘Handles’ marks a new beginning for me, it’s my lifetime of musical influences, collaborating with old friends, and sound recordings of memories past that helped forge this album.”- Drexler
