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.

Basement

Mind Blown

Learned it from a CD, masters of the dulcimer, V2. 

Leaving the Methow

The howling winds, the fading grass
The leaves that tumble as they pass
And you and I may not last this autumn

The things we do, I don't know why
We build it up, we reach so high
Then tear it down, watch it slide
I don't know why

The rolling hills, the peaceful plains
They lie beyond our crooked games
Why do we twist, why do we try to take it all?
I don't know why

The deepest sea, the farthest shore
It's not enough, we still want more

The things we do, I don't know why
Why do we bend, why do we pry?
Destroy it all, pull down the sky?
I don't know why

I Don't Know Why

electric trombone set 2 -- rough cut

squeaky door dance

Peyrol's first tartana-boat race [orchestral fragment] (2025) from the lyric opera "The Rover" to the libretto on Joseph Conrad (under construction).

Pawel Strzelecki: The First Tartana's Race (2025) ["The Rover"/"Il pirata" on Joseph Conrad].

This is about regret and asking for forgiveness and a chance of redemption. 

Sorry, Kid

PENTACLE

into us

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

"Matt in Bits" is @lostsignaltunes other account. To be completely honest, I created this alternative account when I filled up my freebie first account and didn't have enough money to join a subscription plan.

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.

IMPORTANT: 
Only send ONE track, and make sure the dropbox says "OPEN".  Sorry, but tracks sent while the dropbox is closed - or shared drectly with this Soundcloud account - will not get heard.
