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 21st July 2025: 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/batch579

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.

Your Echo by CrusaderBeach is a mellow, reflective solo piano piece that explores themes of memory and the lingering impact of someone significant. It evokes a nostalgic sense of longing and unresolved emotions.

The track features the gentle, intimate tones of a slightly-felted vintage piano.

CrusaderBeach is the pseudonym of composer Adrian Webster - a self-taught pianist from the North West of England whose neoclassical solo piano pieces blend captivating melodies with emotive moods. Discover more at: https://crusaderbeach.com/

Your Echo

Things I Can't Explain- New Follower

Co-written with production duo FutureCut (Little Mix, Lilly Allen) and Sam Harper and produced by Hoost (Rina Sawayama), "Block & Delete" bounces along 00’s R&B influenced synths with clear influences from Tinashe, Justified era Justin Timberlake and a dash of Tate McRae. ‘Inspired by one of my friends who was going through a toxic break up. It’s the ultimate girl advice about setting boundaries and knowing your worth. Ultimately choosing yourself when a relationship no longer serves you, just strength, that’s what I’m going for’, says Erin.

Block & Delete

New single. Release date 28th July 2025.
Overview
Must be some way of living, where I don’t hurt you anymore. Must be some way of living, where you don’t kill me every day. Some way of living, stop digging holes in the ground. Must be some way of living, uncharted, unplanned.

Biggest invention, is what we do now. Some system that caught us, way back when somehow. Liberate our side steps, our shuffle back and forth. Must be some way of living, to break this curse.

Some way of living, unlock every day. Pixel perfect reflections, getting carried away. Storms ahead brewing, lighting up the same sky. Must be some way of living, where we’re on the same side.

Painless War is not actually abouyt 'War' as such. Its more about a relationship breakdown. The first single from our debut vinyl album out in Sept 2025

PAINLESS WAR

Syncline Folds

this song is all about knowing your self worth, and recognising when you’re in a rut

i deserved better

A dark ambient spoken word journey — part existential, part hopeful.

You Are Here is about waking up to the fact that you’re alive — right now — on this fragile little planet. It begins in darkness, shifts toward clarity, and ends by asking the one question that burns through all of it:

“What the fuck is all of this?”

Think Mike Garry meets Faithless, with a touch of Big Special and a pulse at 127 BPM.

Written, produced, and performed by Frederic.

Brighton-based electronic pop duo Sock Drawer return with “Bored” a woozy, slow-burning dream-pop track set in a parallel universe where they’re rich, famous, and finally on tour. In reality? They’re just... bored.

One of the earliest tracks written for their upcoming debut album, “Bored” began as a stripped-back acoustic tune—a half-baked escape plan rooted in a fantasy trip to Amsterdam. That trip never happened, but the daydream stuck. Over time, the song grew into a layered, sample-heavy voyage through inertia and imagination. Guitars pulse with restless energy, drum loops stutter and swirl, and the final section bursts into a euphoric 4-to-the-floor outro—a pop-fuelled hallucination of a tour that never was.

Vocalist Ebony Grace reflects on being a tourist in your own life adrift, daydreaming, and disconnected. “‘Bored’ is set in a kind of parallel universe—by the end of the track, we’re on tour and rich and famous. But really, we’re just daydreaming on the sofa,” she says.

It’s escapism disguised as a pop song—or maybe the other way around.

SimasSen - Over The Edge

8 HOURS

Avant garde and ambient, Italian rockers Medivh have written a “lullaby that gathers the thoughts that crowd your mind and do not allow you to rest. Your soul dances like a dervish in an attempt to find a balance between what you feel and what you live and so, imprisoned in your fears, you seek refuge in the Fires Of The Blue Moon.”

Fires Of The Blue Moon

just a little jam , nothing serious . having some fun with first synth and drum machine
