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 18th September 2023: 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/batch501

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.

Lyrics:
You see, in my prefacing background
Prefacing back

And with the lick of a flame you entered my mind,
Like the flickering of Alfred Street
But now it’s red
(Now it’s red)
And we’re all equivalent to the gulls of the night,
The foam rolls- a child in a ball pit
And i’m here and you’re there
And we’re thrown down, deep under so i’ll roll with it
And if you were sat on that box,
Steadfast, the opposite of her waves
I’d be there
I’d
Ankles scuffed, fingertips kissed with cold
Kiss me cold, please unfold

Alfred Street

Catchy little tune with most likely way too much reverb.

Lift Me Up

Originally had this phrase: Put your faith in it, but words like "fake" and "fade" came into focus as a modern metaphor for the state of the word we're currently living in. Still, I always try to aim for an upbeat funky song with a drive. From the latest album "Put Your Fake In It" [2023] Spotify: https://shorturl.at/chzGH

You cannot pronounce his name easily: Juiced? Well it's an anti- artist name lads and gents! He's a musician first. Inspired by the likes of Gino Vannelli, Todd Rundgren, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, Boz Scaggs, John Martyn, Tubes, Terry Callier and 10cc. He started out as a drummer (1979, before turning his hand to writing. Recording since 1980, releasing digitally since 2005.
He describes himself as a "zelfbevlekkende, narcistische, selfkickende, obsessieve, uitknijpende liedjesmaker" which loosely translates (I think) as a "self-denigrating, narcissistic, self-flagellating squeezer-out of songs" as freely translated by Tom Robinson. "Bomb Won´t Go Off featured both on his BBC6 Radio show and BBC6 Mixtape in november 2012 as did "Stupid Song(s)in 2013. "Chalky" did that trick again in 2016 and "City Of The Mirrorballs did that in 2022. Released 21 digital albums so far, june 2025 newest "Collapse".
