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 11th 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/batchxxx

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.

Full Inbox: Batch 577

Megan Black - Clementine

A disassembling of the lies governments tell when they seek to rule through autocracy and deceit. A dissection of how the secret services are not the glamour of the movies, but are actually the levers of rogue states to undermine democracy.

Whisper it, whisper it.
James Bond is dead.

Whisper it, whisper it.
James Bond is dead.

The snow geese are safe again,
From misdirected or deliberate sniper fire,
Incompetence or practice,
Here on the borders of tundra
And western civilisation.
Until the next story invents itself.

James Bond is dead.

Secrets aren’t such clever agents in the end,
Arrogance overlooking the obvious,
And exceptionalism blind.

Fiction is a real fact
Not exaggerated or purpled by prose.
It is.

In the corridors of power,
Incompetence or practice?
Until the next story invents itself,
Until they invent their next stories
In the corridors of power.

Shout it, shout it!
James Bond is dead!
Rejoice, rejoice!
James Bond I dead!

The real world took him apart
Piece by piece,
Myth by myth,
Broken ceasefire by broken promise,
War by war by bloodier war.

Blessed are the codebreakers,
The peace makers,
The pacifists,
Not the agents of the rogue state.
Not. The. Agents. Of. The. Rogue. State.
No, not the agents of the rogue state.

James Bond and Felix Leiter are dead.

And blessed are
The peace makers,
The pacifists.

And blessed are
The peace makers,
The pacifists.

CAN YOU FEEL IT?? MORMONS MIXTAPE COMING SOON!!
Out on DSPs: https://album.link/Feelthevibe
Music Video OUT NOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zbNkmOZS18

[Verse 1]
(HixMusi) Back again!
Going all the way in everything my mind says
Focus is on me and currently optics stare
The whole world is fighting I’m at peace on the fence
Lending out my hands to this girl who is scared
Looking at the battlefield where can she fit in?
Asking me what if she “falls behind” in life?
Roles and jobs taken by frauds and bots on sight 
Everybody’s out there fighting for survival 
Saving money it gets taken by higher people
So confused bout certain people that she spirals
I told her that God will take care of all of her rivals
But for now I will be your light
Help you throught it all and uplift you to the sky
I’ll tell you how my life’s been while we’re on a drive
Let’s play a 90s CD and let the beats ride

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the beats ride
Feel it in your heart
Feel the vibe
Feel alive 
Let the beats ride
Let the beats ride
Feel so alive 

[Chorus]
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it?
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it?
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it girl?
Can you feel it? (can you feel the vibe)

[Verse 2]
Gold and diamond is my lifestyle I’m achieving stars aligning 
Show you niggas Hix is better with beats and rhymes go spit elsewhere
This my era til next summer all day all night dropping dropping
Mixtape rapper can I slow down no no no no ain’t no stopping 
Albums coming college done and multitasking keeps me locked in
Dial comrads that I made it rocking all crowds within London
Going crazy they all love me come and test me I’ll kill lames on
Wax won’t even be a serious rap
Bronze and Silver is their lifestyle because cheating just gives you fouls 
Son I’m slicker smooth and polished c'mon it’s not The 6th Day now
Where is your sound following crowds 15 seconds go on countdown 
But to be fair many’ve been there so who’s to say I won't get shutdown
(What if I get signed but then get put on the sidelines)
If I do you know it’s true I will come back looking more fly
Going on and on until it all just dies
And if that's the case, just let the beats ride

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the beats ride
Feel it in your heart
Feel the vibe
Feel alive 
Let the beats ride
Let the beats ride
Feel so alive 

[Chorus]
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it?
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it?
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it girl?
Can you feel it?
Can you can you feel it?

[Outro]
You should feel free
The world should see you
I’m feeling so alive
come on go feel the vibes x2

I met so many people but i still feel alone
These girls are so evil
And the boys are so too

But when i met you
U shined a light in the room
Nobody give a fuck bout you
And they say the same about me too

Lets get lost at the party
Get so drunk sip Bacardi
U make me blush
so red
Up all night
Dont need rest

Hold my hand
Dont let go
Lets build something
Like lego
They hate to see us sooo they
stare at us so
Lets go

Girl I'll order the Uber
And you know its XL
Girl ur like my tutor
Cuz u help me excel
Smoke that blunt and exhale
Roll them windows down
lay back
lets ride through the town
Your the best girl that i Found
Cuz
When i met you

U shined a light in the room
Nobody give a fuck bout you
And they say the same about me too

Girl
When i met you
U shined a light in the room
Nobody give a fuck bout you
And they say the same about me too

When I met you
