ECLECTIC PICKS - 2022 (Part 2) (Freshonthenet)

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 12th December, 2022: 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/batch471

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.

A remix of our track Signs of Life by the artist Amongst the Pigeons

Signs Of Life - Amongst The Pigeons Remix

Official release date: 29th April
Pre sale date: 22nd April
Track genre: Melodic House / Breakbeat 

After a whirlwind year in 2021 having signed to the likes of Atlantic, Richie Blacker is storming straight into 2022 with a hypnotic vinyl release on Scotland's Limbo Records, featuring his high demanded original ‘Ketamine Dreams’. In this release Richie has created something modern yet giving a reminiscent nod to the 90s rave scene. ‘Ketamine Dreams’ is a euphoric melodic house banger, sparkled with psychedelic synths and a tight breakbeat rhythm which gives it a unique sound unlike anyone else; this is probably one of Blacker’s most prized productions. With releases on the likes of Of Unsound Mind, Anjunabeats & Nothing Else Matters under his belt and having received BBC Radio 1's Future Fire Artist (2021), Richie Blacker is the UK’s next big electronic artist. Artwork custom made by the very talented RYCA (Fatboy Slim).

LYRICS
did you ever find peace my love?  
did you ever find it lying there?  
did you ever find peace my love?  
someday soon we'll be together there. 

did you go? 
 did you wanna find me lying on? 
i’m trying to know why you wanna fly away with me? 
 did you go? 
 did you wanna find me lying on the bathroom floor? 
 every ways a possibility. 

did you ever find peace my love?  
did you ever find it lying there?  
did you ever find peace my love?  
someday soon we'll be together there. 

you don’t know about it,  you don’t know.  
sit back, scratch, watch it all explode. 
 i cant go without it,  i cant go. 
sit back, scratch, never felt so old. 

did you ever find peace my love?  
did you ever find it lying there?  
did you ever find peace my love?  
someday soon we'll be together there.

Strawberry Moon

It’s unseasonably hot - it’s unreasonably cold.
I’m unreasonably happy or so it seems that I’ve been told
by my unreasonable doc - I’ve decided that he’s ill
cause he can’t seem to stop prescribing jolly happy pills.
Now I’m unreasonably sad - being an unreasonable pain.
It’s been unseasonably sunny - but now it’s snowing again.
I’m like a yo-yo-yo on the end of a spring
pressing start to stop - pressing stop to begin.

I scrape barrels for a living and receive a dying wage.
My wallet’s full of giving but my heart is full of rage.
I’m a recipe for disaster - I’m brewing up a storm,
I’m cooking up some cold hearts and they’re unseasonably warm
so for now I’ll keep on trying - for now I’ll try and get some sleep,
for now I’ll stop pretending that everything I feel is deep
‘cause I’m unreasonably hot and it’s unseasonably cold
and I’m unreasonably worried about the things I can’t control.

And my mind just keeps on racing from the hell-hole to the bliss.
They tell me I should try pacing - are they taking the piss?
Who in their right mind would see a psychiatrist?
If my head wasn’t so screwed up - it would explode like this…
I’ll keep my hands over my ears till the voices are all gone.
I hear the seconds on my watch - they sound like a ticking bomb.
So I’m gonna steal some time cause it really does fly
on the wings of a dove - Jolly happy am I.
