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 3rd November 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/batch588

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.

Taken from the forthcoming album 'Speaking in Code'.

Speaking in Code

Transmission fr. Nowhere

EPOCH is a brooding industrial techno track that channels the weight of debt and the endless cycle of entrapment it creates. Metallic beats and distorted atmospheres mirror the grind of financial struggle, while haunting vocals cut through with raw vulnerability. Dark, hypnotic, and cathartic, the track embodies the fight to break free from the chains that bind us.

Winter hit hard already, so we boutta warm things up

Cold Shock

Lyrics

Sits on the tree
And he watches over me
Coal black eyes
Undo the space between

Day after day
Nothing to say
What’s your message for me

Darkness surrounds me
In the divinest sense
You are bold
You are wise
Is it worth the recompense

Watching and waiting
Is there something that you know
Watching and waiting
With the silence
Of the crow

Are you on the take
Or are you dark innocence
Resting, waiting, tempting me
To intervene

Hard as bone
Answer to no one
What’s the meaning for me

Darkness surrounds me
In the divinest sense
You are bold
You are wise
Is it worth the recompense

Watching and waiting
Is there something that you know
Watching and waiting
In the shadow
Of the crow

Here's a special Halloween 2025 remix of 'Duck the scold' from the album Eldest Daughter Energy. Under the alternative title of 'Hail the Witch', the track has been remixed and mastered by Marc Jackson.

The song refers to archaic forms of punishment, such as the ducking stool, the scold's bridle and witch burning.

Written and composed by Never the Bridle

Hail the Witch (Remix)

All my life I have been deeply disgusted with flies - bordering on a phobia. I guess this repetitive track stems from this. 


Violins & other instruments/programming all by me. 

Lyrics:
Flies
Diptera

Once again I’ve spent too much on fireworks
Watch my hard-earned cash go up in smoke

When you see the price tag I swear that you’ll go beserk
Or at least you’ll laugh and get the joke

Still there’s nothing like the glow
Of an expensive display
Come on light the fuse again
At least that’s what a good friend would say

Pretty much the only thing that can come from this
Is the smoke that covers up the stars

But I bet you’ll pore over all of your horoscopes
Right until you’ve lived out every scar

Still there’s nothing like the glow
Of an expensive display
Come on light the fuse again, baby
At least that’s what a true friend would say

Oh Lord, oh, animal soul
Won't get a person out of their hole
Oh Lord, oh, animal soul
Won't get a person out of their clothes

Please don't hurt me
Please have mercy
Let me stay a while 
with you

Oh Lord, oh, animal soul
Won't get a person out of their cold
Oh Lord, oh, animal soul
Won't get a person out of their hole

Please don't hurt me
Have mercy
Let me stay 
a while with you

Oh Lord, oh, animal soul
Won't get a person out of their cloak
Oh Lord, oh, animal soul
Won't get a person out of their role
Oh Lord, oh, animal soul
Won't get a person out of their noel
Oh Lord, oh, animal soul
Won't get a person out of their hole

Rehab Is For Quitters

Already Taken is about trying to process living without somebody after they’ve chosen to leave you, and the everyday reminders they leave behind. Written with friends Sam Perry and Tom Hammond, and released via Mahogany Songs. 

Already Taken

London-based, Scottish-born indie-folk songwriter Neev follows her acclaimed album How Things Tie In Knots with a new heartfelt reflection on love and the power of music. Flowing with lilting melodies and a cinematic warmth, “Put A Record On” builds with stirring emotion as Neev’s resonant vocals soothe and captivate throughout—paying thanks to the things that keep love alive: music, trust and growth.

“I think the record player is an interesting metaphor for a long-term relationship: something that’s always present, always there to tap into… but also needs a lot of care and attention.”
Written, arranged, recorded and mixed entirely in her home studio, the track showcases the beauty of stripped-back production. Its simplicity allows her lyrics to speak plainly and poignantly, revealing the quiet depth at the heart of Neev’s songwriting.

Put a Record On

A folkloric witch-tale set to a Latin groove — weaving dark, sultry, folk harmonies with cumbia rhythms, horns, and dance-floor energy. The Swarm introduces listeners to a powerful, misunderstood figure—part storm, part oracle, part force of nature. A witch’s tale told through hypnotic cumbia grooves, where folk harmonies and Latin horns conjure both darkness and celebration. Like a dance party in the underworld! 

The Swarm

Our first single recorded with the amazing Rees Broomfield of SS2 Recording
