ny 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 29th April 2024 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/batch527

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.

ChromePlus - Gone Is The Day (Ft Sleeps Cousin - Lieu Remix Radio edit)

"hello old friend' is our love song to Australia, capturing the bittersweet bond between expats and their homeland. 

With soaring vocal harmonies and haunting cello, 'hello old friend' reflects the complexities of leaving behind a once cherished relationship. We hope it resonates with anyone who has felt the tug of war between longing and liberation.

https://soundcloud.com/toojim and BB Mon join forces in a collaboration born out of a discovery of each other’s music through their respective radio plays on the BBC6 Introducing mixtape. 
Their remote partnership, based in Manchester and London respectively, has led to “Through the Wall”. The song delves into a period of mental health struggles where time seems to be stood still whilst the world keeps moving forward around you. The result is a snappy impatient anthem that brings inspiration from punk, hip hop and breaks.

The single will be released officially on 16th May.

'Cling to Life', in stores 10th May 2024.

Cling to Life

Split Digraph lives in the hinterland between outright electropop and more leftfield experimental music of the likes that Warp and Rephlex records made famous. It can live as happily on a sunny dance-floor as it does nestled in earbuds on a winter’s woodland walk.

Split Digraph

A Different Kitchen, a psychedelic project seemingly fuelled by grief, loss and a general distaste of modern society. Emerging from Norfolk’s quiet back country, the trio began making noise - where alt-indie meets post-punk. With band members now spread from London to Sheffield, the group have migrated their sound throughout the UK; with their latest single, I'm Fine I'm Fine, featured by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music and Christian Carlisle on BBC Introducing in Sheffield.

A Different Kitchen write music for live consumption. The group creates a unique experience that leaves a long-lasting impact on their audience, through extreme dynamics, unsettling chord voicings and raw emotion. Music should always be about feeling. A Different Kitchen embrace this to bring their listeners on a journey, connecting with people through real experiences and interactions. Thoughtfully crafted lyrics and harmony gives the band an outlet to express their own vulnerabilities as individuals on stage and in the studio, creating an art piece that remains as fragile as the source from which it was conceptualised.

We often feel introverted and detached from life. The Norfolk-born trio use their shows to open up and let audiences share small moments on a personal level, something that is difficult to achieve in the fast-paced society we live in. After spending the back end of 2023 developing and refining their music in the studio, the band are ready to share a more emotive and personal group of songs throughout 2024, in an intense expression of vulnerability.

A Different Kitchen will be releasing 4 singles between April and August of 2024, exploring the emotional unhinge of a pained human mind. In an unsettling release of personal grief, the band will share their vulnerabilities in a raw form, across this new collection of work.
