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 16 Jan 2023: 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/batch473

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.

Maker Made

stop - wait a minute
i know it's over but we're living in it
some things take a while to leave
if i escape, whenever that may be
i'll meet you under the church that leans
and i'll tell you
yeah i'll tell you

i like it when you're around

so, take me back to the start
before the days of the skipping heart
the city life is a work of art
but now i'm bursting into tiny parts
go, figure out what you need
i'll meet you here in a year or three
and i'll tell you
yeah i'll tell you

i like it when you're around

why is my head so loud
when it won't even make a sound?
why is my head so loud
when it won't even make a sound?
is there a way you can tell me what this is all about?
why is my head so loud?
i like it when you’re

i like it when you're around

I Like It When You're Around

On January 27th 2023 the London based artist will be releasing her debut solo single Do It Right. The first of many releases, the single delves into the world of situationships and bootycalls lyrically, whilst giving a whole lotta R&B nostalgia vibes Musically. It's an honest take on falling in love with your sneaky link and the emotional journey that comes with it.

Do It Right

TANTRUM ZENTRUM's version of the 1827 original musical piece by Franz Schubert was produced by Steve Evans (Robert Plant, Goldfrapp, Siouxie Sioux) and recorded in November 2022.

Vaat Dafuq explains, "For our first single, we wanted something that people would find familiar, so the hunt for a cover version we could add our spin to commenced -and we certainly had no interest in recording a slowed-down version of something to ukulele to be used for a bank advert!"

The core trio kept going further and further back, looking for that elusive track until they heard Franz Schubert's Der Leiermannon the soundtrack of the 2008 Martin McDonagh-directed In Bruges.

Sabine de Rousseau states,"There is something about a freezing musician playing to an ambivalent audience that resonated with us for some reason."

Valhalla Schimmer adds, "We wanted to work with Steve on our first project because we knew he'd get us musically, and he works in Dolby Atmos. Atmos Music has a huge built-in dynamic range because of its cinematic background, and with Der Leiermann, we just went all in with Atmos, arranging the song right there in the studio. The result is a Teutonic Folk Goth Metal journey -something for everyone."

Der Leiermann is the first of three tracks recorded in both stereo and Dolby Atmos to be independently released by TANTRUM ZENTRUM from their session with Steve Evansand promises to get everyone on their feet -a future Christmas Number 1 or Eurovision entry?
