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 8th September 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/batch580 

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.

Lyrics
Amygdala Algorithm.  

If I talk, when I talk i’m done listening to me
My Internal monologue seeming to regret, I plead 
If I hola when I’m hollow, a choke hazard I guarantee, 
My internal monologue seeming to be coming for me.
And when I run, yeah I’m done, done running from me 
Im grasping at stitches, when these witches progressively reach from the trees
then I sweat, yeah I sweat, sweat dripping from me
And it tastes like medicated amphetamine.
 
A risk of self destruction , pity that I’m still on the go
A guilty man trialing distraction ….. oh.

Primal means, illiterate beings, beating chests and loading lead
My chimp paradox , amygdala controlling all the words I said
So when I'm shifty, looking shifty fuelling the monkey inside my head
Self medicating to reduce the dread.

A risk of self destruction, pity that I’m still on the go
A guilty man trialing distraction, keeping my nose out of the blow
Another emotional reaction, the limbic taking full control 
A substance used for my complexion … oh.

Low self esteem, masked with self-congratulatory
Fear of caving in, doused in gasoline
Low self esteem, masked with self-congratulatory
Fear of caving in, inflamed with anxiety.

And when I run, yeah I’m done, done running from me 
Im grasping at stitches, when these witches progressively reach from the trees
then I sweat, yeah I sweat, sweat dripping from me
And it taste like m-m-m-m-m

A risk of self destruction, pity that I’m still on the go
A guilty man trialing distraction, keeping my nose out of the blow
Another emotional reaction, the limbic taking full control 
A substance used for my complexion … oh.

PLAYLIST BELOW  - PLEASE SUPPORT THE ARTISTS YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF!

This is my first recording as part of my plan to take a wide range of new and unheard music into venues around the UK to promote the overlooked talent that surrounds us.

My performances in venues will be accompanied by screens showing information and links to each artist as they are played. Feedback and support will be encouraged. It is my aim to integrate live performances from artists local to where each show takes place, once I am happy with how it is running. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this mix and read your comments. If you love it, share it. Let's support each other and make the music scene better for everyone in it. Music and life isn't a competition, that's just a lie perpetuated by wankers who don't want you to be happy.

Thank you,

Will x

Will Farr's Eclectic Mix Volume 1

I had a fun 140bpm mix with some of the excellent electronic music I have received recently, as well as a few non electronic songs, and some of my own tracks.. Winds down with a little 120bpm at the end, because I really didn't want to go to bed...

Some tracks have been massively pitched up, some pitched down, and some have been looped. 

It was all for the good of the country.

Willy's Eclectech mix

Track list below, and hopefully the artists will tag their own tracks in the waveform.

                                                 -------

I hadn't planned to make this a regular online affair, but my live shows are slightly held up whilst the perfect website is being conjured from mouse clicks and imagination.

Something of an autumnal feel in this latest instalment of my Eclectic Mix project, and certainly a little darker than the Volume 1 demo. I've made an effort to include artists who didn't feature heavily in the first recording, and I will continue to do that to the best of my abilities whilst maintaining some coherence. It's not perfect, but that makes it all the more human.

Please reach out to the artists if you enjoy their music, and to me if you don't.

I recorded this before my Eclectech mix, and I realise there is some overlap but they are very much two different things.

Volume 3 will come in the Fresh on the Net Christmas break.

In Jimmy Andrex we trust,

'Make the Summer Stay' is a reflection on long lost childhood summers, wrapped up in an 80's vibe.

Make the Summer Stay

'Listen More' is a song written by and dedicated to Eileen's Mother. It was written during the lockdown times when she could no longer visit her Mother in person. This song turned out to be one of our very favourite tracks to play live and Eileen always tends to start a performance of 'Listen More' by saying 'I didn't actually say some of the words in this song as that would have been mean'  and it is Track 9 on our newly released second album 'Lost In Good Intentions.'
