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 24th October 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/batch464

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.

 : : AURORA : : 
Listen to the snowfall 
Every soft regret
A blanket over turned fields 
Forgiving as we tread
Our weight
The marks of time
The imprints we leave here
Follow the horses
No reins
Just torches in the sky 
The river suggests an ending 
I guess I'll empty In death
Aurora lights
Our weight
The marks of time
The imprints we leave here 
On the steps of eternity 
We can see our lives reflected
Listen to the snowfall

AVENTURA

LUNA

I never met no one named Joe Smith
Nor not even one Jane Doe
And I don't know who the Joneses are
But some be dropping their names
So I guess they be like movie stars
Then I gotta know just one thing
Do they already look like who some are

Come see my garden man he looks like Brad Pitt
Take a look at the grocery lad it's Jimmy Hendrix
Isn't that Martha Stewart coming up my driveway
Didn't Chloe Grace Moretz sell me cookies today

I never met no one named Jill Smith
Little brother first named Joe
And I ain't kept up with who the Joneses are
But someone's gotta know who they look like from among the stars
So then I can tell when I bump into them at the mall

Have you seen my banker man he's so just James Dean
And don't forget the paper lad Shawn Mendes more geek
I catch my bus with Monroe our driver's Grace Slick
I'm dating Alyssa Milano

Did you see my lawyer man Tom Cruise
Or my laundry lad Mr. Billy Idol
The milkmaid maiden is Pink
And Jamie Lee Curtis serves drinks

They Still Call Me Tony

annual birthday cry

I don’t want to cry on my birthday
I hate how the mood changes 
Everytime I do
But it’s tradition, the annual panic
Another year on this planet 
And I haven’t got a clue

But all I want this time
Is to learn how to live in my own damn mind
I’ll be alright tonight
I’ll be alright

I don’t wanna watch my mum getting older
And this house is getting colder 
What if nowhere feels like home 
And it’s a terrifying time to be somebody’s daughter 
Oh there's bodies in the water
And there’s children in the sky

But all I want this time
Is to learn how to live in my own damn mind
I’ll be alright tonight
I’ll be alright 
I’ll be alright

But I don’t want to cry on my birthday
I hate how everything’s changed 
But I’ve not moved at all

Runaway (Sparkee Remix)

The story of a group of desperate people. 
Who make a dangerous journey across the sea, in the hope of a better life. 
And the reception they receive when they reach their destination.

London born poet and rapper Dan Whitlam is back with a new single, Lights Down, releasing via Needwant. Dan Whitlam blends clever instrumentation with spoken word poetry and rap to hit that modern, London chilled out vibe - with relatable and emotive lyrics, Dan captures the essence of being a young person with an honest and authentic approach to his music. 

KOATES is best described as ‘pop-noir’, taking influence from old and new. A hybrid of pop and electronic music with a whole lot of soul.  'The music has got a wicked flow to it. He is one to get ingrained deep, deep into your head' - Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1)

Gently plucked guitar starts this song off before Whitlam's distinct vocals come in, accompanied by an upbeat rhythm which chops and changes cleverly with the flow of the lyrics. Moving away from a poem and into a rap, Dan's change of pace with this single is prescient and fits that UK chilled rap vibe excellently. A massive hook from KOATES ties the song together, doubled and covered in reverb this thought provoking song is perfect for your night time drives and relaxed times. Barebones production captures the live sound of each instrument and the emotion in the lyrics giving this song power and authenticity.

Dan Whitlam - Lights Down (Feat. KOATES)

From the upcoming album Garbage Town.

Get Rich Or Die

https://themightyorchidking.bandcamp.com/album/mycelium-music-volume-i-pinedemonium-awakes

Sepulchred council of the wild
Dug in the bowels of Symondshyde
We call it Pinedemonium
The cult of the mycelium 
Who helpless watched as some were slain 
Then helped the others on their way

While painting on the oldest trees
A host of feeding galleries 
Got more than he had bargained for 
Devouring from the forest floor 
Our carnal forms discarded by 
The magic man head in the sky 

Our systems used for nefarious deeds
The internet was made here, its our technology 
In the search for productivity 
Our medicines were mangled in your morning coffee

A spot of indigestion came 
With all the trauma that decayed 
Forbidden cider from that tree 
Brought dreams of sumbiocracy
Through the mycorrhizae he saw
The suffering caused by the lord 
And now he is resolved to reap
A common land for us to sleep

The Bowels Of Symondshyde

All Of Me (Radio Edit)
