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 February: 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/batch518

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.

I Thought About You

THE SMILE ROOM

87 and the Toys - "You"

Sweet Escape

Some sax put through a distortion amp and some more sax in echo and reverb chambers, spurt some it through a synth, add some heavy bass, a dash of drone and a slow heavy kick beat. 

Throw in a tambourine, and it all comes spilling out in a sinful mess.

Apart from the bass, drums and tambourine, all the other sound is made out of saxophone.

It sounds like you shouldn't do this kind of thing to a sax. But I like it. And I should probably be ashamed of myself!

There is no more!

Berlin

I wrote this song about falling in love with someone who I couldn't be with. I feel I can be seen as resentful in the song but towards the end of the song, as I'm singing, it's more of a cry for what could've been. The thought of 'what could have been' is one of the hardest heartbreaks of all. You've designed these hopes and dreams in your head with this person, and now you need to detach from them, and step back into a reality without them, when the comfort of them in your mind is a nicer place to be.

Meant to Be (With Me)

Meant To Be (With Me)



Pinky is the third track released by slumclub.
The tracks themes stem from information overload and the tendency for certain people to over share when sometimes you have enough going on in your head, without having others problems burdening you. Musically, there are influences from the likes of Softplay and Idles.

Pinky

Have It All

This song sounds a bit like if David Bowie and Simple Minds had a kid that went to karate club with Future Islands, Darwin Deez and Everything Everything.

Winner

We all know that person who can't stop, no matter what destruction they're leaving in their wake. You can't stop loving them but you are just a spectator as they throw it all away

A track dripping with the nostalgia of Britpop, the vibes of indie rock and a tiny bit of country thrown in for good measure.

Kind Of You

10: The Restless Mind - How Can We Control It by Meghna Choudhury (H.G. Mathura Vasi Devi Dasi)

I’m not always in the position where everything makes sense. I often find myself in the period of doubt or the period of struggle or the period of not knowing if it will it all ever make sense again. 
I wanted to capture a moment of feeling that freedom, that sense of having arrived, that sense of everything in its right place, so that people can access it in more difficult times or celebrate it and feel it more deeply when it does come around, and it always comes around, sooner or later.
