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 17th February 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/batch559

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

Full Inbox: Batch 559

Our moderators listened to every track we were sent this week and have picked their favourites for your listening pleasure this weekend:

Rolando Alarcón

Las Coplas del Pajarito

Its almost like you wanted this
Like you wished it to be true,
I seem to let the happy feelings
All slip through.

But the darkest ones are hanging,
Like an upside down balloon,
God give me a second chance
I think I need a second chance

Cause there aint a word
For how im feeling
Sorry for all your time im stealing
Better call it day
We could’ve been anything
We could be anything
Stop,
You’re life is drifting,
Everyone notices you acting different
Well I’ve nothing to say
We could’ve been anything
We could be anything

Its almost like you cant resist 
The trains going one way,
Tell me that you’re thinking of me
Tell me that you’re thinking of me

Cause there aint a word
For how im feeling
Sorry for all your time im stealing
Better call it day
We could’ve been anything
We could be anything
Stop,
You’re life is drifting,
Everyone notices you acting different
Hang on for today
We could’ve been anything
We could be anything

We Could've Been Anything

New song available everywhere ! It’s a mix of hip hop, rock, and pop, and was inspired by the phrase: “Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.” From that point, everything just flowed naturally. I’ve poured love and passion into this track.

Serious People Rule The World (feat. C.A.M.)

Ralf 'Sono Rhizmo' Droesemeyer travels with the spirit of the beat generation and the heart of the bohemian jazzmen. Hipness is not a state of mind but a fact of life, he says. Call him a modern beatnik, this man is trout fishing all around the globe. 
On the first compilation for his own Agogo Records label Sono Rhizmo collected fi fteen tracks from as many countries he has travelled during the past few months. What we hear is a mix of conscious global beats, social soul and true rhythms, never overtly political but always aware of local matters and global changes. „Agogo Makes The World Go Round“ is a statement of independence, a plea to dig deeper beyond the surface.

What if birds aren't just birds? The new Baffo d'Oro single takes an ironic and critical look at fake news and conspiracy theories, with a catchy late summer guitar riff and noisy guitars in the chorus.

Have you ever wondered how would reggae sound like through a looking glass? Probably like this.

All Mad Here are releasing Through the Looking-Glass EP as a contemporary take on reggae music inspired by black music and culture.

It’s not our first piece of work, but it feels like that. Since Ella joined us, the band gained power, lyrics got sharper and music turned into shapes we only suspect they exist.

The songs were written within a few rehearsals after Ella met the latest incarnation of All Mad Here. Or after the new incarnation of All Mad Here met Ella. It works both ways.

Some songs took their shape from older tracks but most came out of the blue. They came out of the moment when the band found it's voice again. EP includes a cover version of Barrington Levy's classic too, Ella's favourite Black Roses.

Through the Looking-Glass EP was recorded in two days in Golden Hive Studios in Prague.
Released November 24, 2024

Produced by Ondřej Horák
Mixed & mastered by Amak Golden

All Mad Here are Ella (vocals), Ondrej (guitar, backing vocals), Honza (keyboards, backing vocals), Martin (bass) and Karel (drums and pads);

Studio guest Spok (synths, echoes, drum machine, music alchemy)

Pink Roads

Eerie, dreamy offering in support of The California Wildfire Relief Fundraiser. Drawn from my private collection of raw, untouched meditative vocal recordings on Roland Loop Station RC-505 MK2.

 Room to Dream emerged in the wake of David Lynch’s passing, a tribute to a visionary whose work shaped my inner landscapes. All pieces from this mini album hold space for stillness, remembrance, and reverie.

Wondem Remixed
Release date: 11.11.16
Wondem Remixed is a humble compilation of reworkings by some of my colleagues in Los Angeles and the UK. I asked musicians who were already interested or involved in my musical explorations or who live in a parallel universe. In other words, I didn't force it on a who's who of "remixers" and as a result this body of work has a more organic and personal sense about it. The collection starts with a masterful reimagining by Brainfeeder beat maestro Ras G who has played a couple of shows with us. He took elements from the entire Wondem record and created an Afrikan Space Program classic. Producer and drummer Te'Amir Sweeney plays with the Wondem band and brought his sonic expertise with a crazy ambient remix of Saba. Emerging production collective Stomach Club, whom I met through my good friend and co-producer Carlos Niño one night in Venice, went all-in and vibey on the Somalian-inspired tune Xamar. Carlos himself provided a spirited soundscape featuring tracks from the entire record. International DJ and KCRW.com favorite Jeremy Sole took Lalibela to a new place with his awesome musicality and sensitivity. Prolific trumpeter, Ethio Cali bandleader and arranger Todd Simon did a sublime dub version of one of the more popular tunes on the record Sidet Eskemeche. The compilation is also blessed by an Al Dobson Jr. appearance. He completely flipped Mowa and I am grateful to him. Last but not least are two exceptional perspectives on Merkato Star and Eastern Prayer by our London-based homie Kutmah. 

I am very proud of this Wondem Remixed offering and hope you find some new inspiration for yourself in here. 

Enjoy!
