hit em 🗣️

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 16th September 2024 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/batch541

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves 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.

Stream Back & Forth here: https://orcd.co/illuzionsbackandforth

We are proud to present the first single “Back & Forth” from our upcoming EP “Unsound Desires”. By mixing hypnotic beats with silky and melodic leads, “Back & Forth'' conceives a magnetic environment filled with both intensity and beauty. The fast-paced yet melancholic feel of “Back & Forth” sets the tone for the future conceptual EP, while only exploring a small portion of the abstract storyline. This dance inducing track is heavily influenced by the melodic house genre, making it perfect for Spotify playlists like night rider, heart beats and crying on the dancefloor.

Disorder is taken from Keening's second album - James Francis Diaries.
Preorder available here - https://darkliberationrecords.bandcamp.com/album/james-francis-diaries-2
James Francis was the lead singer of the cult band Strange Ones. He disappeared in 1993 from the island of Losse in Scotland where he was recording his debut album.

In 2022, James’ tapes and diaries were given by James’ parents to the band Keening. Keening had discovered and fallen in love with the Strange Ones' records and learned about James’ disappearance. The original demos themselves, even with digital restoration are unlistenable as James distorted the recordings and overdubbed them with found sounds from the island. Instead of replicating the songs, Keening decided to write their own music inspired by James’ diary, the mystery surrounding his disappearance, his lyrics, and the island of Losse. James’ edited diary is included here for interest and with the permission of his family.

i feel kinda scared
i feel unprepared
can’t seem to take it in
so many eyes on me

old friends hit me up
say “i saw you on”
this adrenaline
it’s intoxicating

keep on pushing on
don’t you ever stop
if they mess you up
hit em where it hurts now

keep on dreaming on
don’t you ever stop
if they mess with you
hit em where it hurts now

hit em, hit em, hit em
hit em where it hurts
hit em, hit em, hit em
hit em where it hurts now

It Was All A Dream

this is your reminder that 212 5/4 = ~170 4/4 with quintuplet swing

messy sketch that I feel really excited about. I've always been into odd meters/tuplets/rythms so this HITEM trend is right up my alley. 

planning to try and submit my first finished track to the Tabula Rasa/Machinedrum/Drew Hitem Compilation, but I have a month to experiment so many more sketches to come. 

I hope my ADHD brain will eventually be capable of producing a transparent release-worthy mix, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there lol

HIT EM IDEAS V1 10-08-2024 WIP SKETCH

"Finis" is a deeply personal track that dives into the emotional turmoil of leaving a relationship that’s destined to fail, despite the lingering love. 

Originally conceived as a dark, slow-burning funky instrumental, I decided to channel my experience into lyrics, transforming it into a powerful narrative of escape and resolution.

HIT EM WITH THE SHARP ELEVEN

in your eyes

Random Love is about the small moments, the touches, the smiles, the looks that come from the one you love at any moment of the day that fill your heart and just make you feel so good and loved. 

For Sue x

Something pure is coursing through my veins
Rousing thoughts and desires
An overwhelming sentiment I can’t explain
Lifting me up, higher and higher

Have to tell you what I feel inside
I cannot run, I cannot hide
From this thing that’s got a hold on me
I kind of always knew it right from the start
If I held it all together, not fall apart
This random love would keep filling up my heart

There’s a beauty to your universe
Immersing me in high emotions 
A private revolution taking over my heart
Inviting me to total devotion

Have to tell you what I feel inside  
I cannot run, I cannot hide   
From this thing that’s got a hold on me
I kind of always knew it right from the start
If I held it all together, not fall apart
This random love would keep filling up my heart
     
Have to tell you what I feel inside
I cannot run, I cannot hide
From this thing that’s got a hold on me
I kind of always knew it right from the start
If I held it all together, not fall apart
This random love would keep filling up my heart

Random Love

'Spooky Season' is upon us and this Friday the 13th sees the release of a thrashing rock 'n' roll anthem inspired by 60s garage rock. 'It's a Cult' was recorded in Liverpool with a full band set up, using traditional recording techniques. Featuring catchy, melodic hooks and a killer harmonic guitar solo, the lyrics are eerily poignant and explore the dangers of mob mentality and how radical ideologies target children and young people online.

It's a Cult

En las viejas llanuras
Donde ya no pega el sol
Y las sombras recubren
A la sabana inmensa
Y huele a la culpa, y la muerte
Y la ausencia del bien

Los viejos del lugar
Cuentan que cada noche por aquí
El viento silba un eco ancestral
Creo que es el silbón
Que busca mi parte
Que quiere mi parte

Ebria figura sin sombra
Los huesos en saco de peces
Los llanos ceniza se enfrían
Arrastra mi figura alargada por el monte
Que quiere de mi?

El trato

During the mid-1960s operation FOXGLOVE- a highly classified, five-man black ops task force designated to investigate reports of unnatural aural phenomena recorded at a secret governmental research site Breechlands.
Our agents attempted to establish contact with a highly advanced energy source at the site.
Upon contact, the agents were immediately consumed by a subharmonic spike of immense magnitude referred to as The Outerlude before disappearing without a trace, along with the energy source.
Some 60 years later the unit reappeared at the very source of the aural anomaly, having not aged a day.
Subsequent tests and countless hours of interrogation concluded the agents had no recollection of the incident whatsoever.
Upon further probing they were revealed to have a substantially heightened knowledge of astronomical star map data, far exceeding the information available to the 1960s, and surpassing much of what we know of the universe today.
Due to the information these men hold, and the potential threat to national and worldwide security, it is in the planet's interests that our tests continue to unearth who, or what, gave them this knowledge.
