Tobi's Fresh Net Faves 2022

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 4th April: 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/batch443

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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 443

Thanks to everyone who came by Fresh On The Net at the weekend to check out  Listening Post 443 and tell us which tracks they liked best. Here, in alphabetical order, are our readers' top favourites. Our reviews are written by Fresh On The Net's Del Osei-Owusu - and you can read them at http://freshonthenet.co.uk/faves443

Awesome sample from Cleo Sol and Lee Hazelwood helped made this track very easy. Nice vibes they say. Who says that anyway? Check out the originals here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IdLgRpa3W0 and Lee Hazelwood - Let's take a walk down Valhallavägen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxkRpW5hqfg

Scooters is the second single from the project, and the song explores relationships, the passing of time and the arrival of winter. The self-produced song blends mellow hip-hop & melodic R&B, and it also features Bristol-based artist Slowe, who has received radio support on BBC Radio 1.

FAST TRAINS - Can You Take a Bullet for Me

Helen's Bay

Racky guitar driven track lead by female vocals crashing into huge heavy choruses and building to a noisy climax. Lyrically comments on the hopelessness of expressing individualistic opinions.

LYRICS: 
I’m waiting for a revolution, yeah 
I’m trying not to lose the will to try
I’m praying for some liberation, yeah 
I’m trying not to lose my mind

I’m screaming into the void 
The void

I’m hoping for some inspiration, yeah 
I’m crying out to those of us who cry
I’m waiting for some new sensation, yeah 
I’m crying out to make me feel alive

I’m screaming into the void 
The void
Ahhhhhhh

The Void EP

The Void

This track is based on static observations from the middle of my hallway, welcome to my home x

Title track from the EP "The Whole Hog" 

The Whole Hog

Another song I wrote from 1979. Played this song in various incarnations of guitar based bands throughout the early/mid 80's.

This is how I would have liked it in 80's electronic format if I'd had the chance.

Uncompromising, infectious and original, Lazy Habits are ready to take their place amongst the growing stars of the UK Urban Music Scene. 

Inspired by New Orleans jazz, soul, hip hop, Big Bands of the 50’s and soaked in British Culture their eclectic sound packs a lasting and unforgettable punch, with the band describing themselves as "Beats, Rhymes and Brass of the highest calibre”

. 

Formed in 2005 and originally the brainchild of one MC, the Hackney based outfit now stand as a full eight piece band who’s onstage energy is a colossal live experience that will keep you buzzing long after you’ve left the venue.

Having notched up shows at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, The Roundhouse, KOKO and venues up and down the UK, supporting the likes of Mos Def, Soulwax, The Specials, Bonobo, Chali 2Na (Jurrasic5) and Beardyman, Lazy Habits have won hearts and blown minds, proving they can take on any stage.

 They've smashed Glastonbury with their live performances, hosted and DJ'd on “The Other” and “Jazz World” stages, ticking off slots at Bestival, Secret Garden Party and Edinburgh Festival along the way.

2011 sees them travel even further afield including festival performances in Latvia, Croatia, Taiwan and The French Alps as well as a full UK tour.


Their debut self-released EP “On the Wagon” put the Habits on the radar of Taste Maker Huw Stephens, and blew up on the underground scene, selling out on pre-orders alone. Their follow up single “Even Out” introduced them to a wider audience and was used on commercially released cinema and TV productions both domestically and Europe wide. 

Championed by Eliza Doolittle, Paloma Faith and a host of BBC radio DJ’s, including Huw, this lot will defy you not to be on your playlist in 2011.

You’ll thank them for the memories.
