Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 31st May: 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/batch408

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Remastered edition of Spectre, from album The Grand Illusion

Grand illusion remaster - Spectre

If it was 'correctly mix and master this track or die' I would simply perish

I still don't know how I feel about this, some parts really got on my nerves but eh, here it is. My DAW crashed about 10 times from all the heavy plugins I used yay.

Translated lyrics at request, because I forgot to write them in!

love me, love me, love me, love me
more, more, more

why, don't leave.
you're cruel.
don't move, don't struggle
it's okay

right, please don't struggle
good boy, good boy

I want to have you

Much Too Much [Radio Edit]

Today is a new day
Brush it off you've got a new broom
Every morning there's a new dawn
Every month we get a new moon
Don't get too obsessed with the linear
This Earth is spherical
So follow that telescope
You're not alone just show persistence
We're all made out of solar systems
My verse about the universe is expanding
So lift up your glass timer with sand in
Tilt your head
Those seconds that you waved goodbye
Are upside down now you're making time

If I give you warmth
Promise you'll take it with you
When it feels right
Pass it on too
If I give you warmth
Promise you'll take it with you
When it feels right
Pass it on too

Feel the water flowing over you
You never miss the well 'til it's well overdue
Let the rain in
I understand the complaining
But try to separate yourself from what is draining
They say a stopped clock is right twice a day
But nobody knows when that is
Unless you get another clock
Which kind of defeats the point
Keep grounded
But also let yourself be astounded
Laugh at life
But try to recognise the profound bits
Keep your head in the clouds
But always look both ways
What came first
The chicken or the crossing the road
You can't take anything with you when you go
That's why I'm having an existential moment in the supermarket
Clutching my bag for life

If I give you warmth
Promise you'll take it with you
When it feels right
Pass it on too
If I give you warmth
Promise you'll take it with you
When it feels right
Pass it on too

Pass it on too
Pass it on too
Pass it on too
Pass it on too

If I give you warmth
Promise you'll take it with you
When it feels right
Pass it on too
If I give you warmth
Promise you'll take it with you
When it feels right
Pass it on too

Gecko - Pass It On

Night and Day is a song about the global pandemic and how it’s reminded us that we live in a world of opposites. One force cannot exist without the other and when we feel the presence of one, we notice the absence of the other.
