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 June 9th 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/batch573

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.

Science Friction

Snuck in the back with a borrowed name,
Sneakers clean but the soul’s in flames,
Snap a pic with a plastic smile,
Actin’ like I’ve been here a while.

Posted that Benz like it’s mine to keep,
But I’m crashin’ on couches, barely sleep.
Mirror’s cracked, but I strike a pose,
Talkin’ champagne dreams in secondhand clothes.

Fake It ‘Til I Make It

A heartfelt song about the need for a belief in love soldiering on, even when the world is a bin-fire

Soldiers

WHITE GOODS - RADIO EDIT

Some spoken word to a broken beat, sub bass and samples. Experimental Electronic, Dub, Organic House

Imperfect Loss 

Found myself in imperfect loss 
Absence of what never was 
Some imagined body clock 
That ticks in my ears 

Ditched the car and I took a walk 
To the orchard and climbed the wall 
Sat and watched the apples fall 
So far from the tree 

I could tie their bruising skin to any part of me 
Tender and yellowing 
I always bruise so easily 

I found myself in the reflection 
Of some pitied acceptance 
That fills all my prescriptions 
For sugar pills 

See the ghosts of alternatives 
In all my friends and relatives 
Haunted by the negatives 
That I left behind 

I'm trapped in the darkroom that exists 
Behind my eyes 
Scared that I'll ruin the past 
If I let in the light 

I picture a trainwreck 
When I think of a signal change 
So scared of the thunder 
I don't get to enjoy the rain 

I found myself in imperfect loss 
Lost a little of what I was 
But learned I was strong enough 
For a heavy heart 

Jumped the first train that I could find 
And watched the sprawling countryside 
Like a tape cassette unwind 
Right in front of me 

A mixtape of summer songs 
Bloomed from their harmonies 
Begged me to sing along 
And reminded me to breathe 

Sometimes I still forget 
But I'm getting better 
Finally

REUNITE THE WORLD
(Feat. Caspian Yurisich)

“Imagine just what this illness means
Crossing waves in our dreams
Positivify, rectify
Divisions cease
Come back with peace

I do not care about your race
We all have a human face
I do not judge on your religion
That is just your own decision

We’ve all got a story to be told
Connect same sides
Around the globe
We are all missing our friends
Wondering when it will end...

Re-un-ite, (Rainbows up with hope)
Reunite The World!
Re-un-ite, (Let’s clap to cope)
We’ll Reunite The World!

Better now the Ecology
Now let’s do the same
With our economies
Traffic’s less, a brighter sun
Environment war
For now’s been won

Mammals in town
Rivers flow crystal clear
Clean air, everywhere
Nature resets everything
Dolphins swim, & songbirds sing...

Re-un-ite, (Sing along with hope)
Reunite The World!
Re-un-ite, (Once again)
We’ll Reunite The World!
Re-un-ite, (Sing along to cope)
Reunite The World!
Re-un-ite, (Once again)
We’ll Reunite The World!

(Bridge)
We will meet again, friend
Yes, we will meet again, soon..
Read, my, mind, see the signs
Hibernate & shut, down...

...(click, click, click)...

...Start again, heal & mend
We have survived, we’re most alive
Value your worth, stay alert
Rebirth of Earth
Wake the planet, make some noise

And when’s safe, can’t wait
We’ll celebrate
We can cut our hair
We can hug & care
And wheels will roll, & cogs will turn
Let’s get together, gigs will return...

Re-un-ite, (Fly your flags)
Reunite The World!
Re-un-ite, (Join hands again)
We’ll Reunite The World!
Re-un-ite, (Fly your flags)
Reunite The World!
Re-un-ite, (Join hands once more)
We’ll Reunite The World!”
