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 31st March 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/batc565

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.

There's A Rhythmn

Ghost of a Tree

‘Running in Circles’ is the indie anthem for anyone stuck in the loop of life — chasing potential, embracing the same old tunes, and trying to find meaning in the noise. With a blend of introspective lyrics and a catchy, laid-back vibe, this track is all about the paradox of going nowhere while feeling like you're everywhere. It’s the perfect soundtrack for those days when you’re spinning around, wondering if there’s more to it, but not really minding the ride. So go ahead, put it on repeat — sometimes, running in circles is exactly where you need to be.

‘Running in Circles’ ist die Indie-Hymne für alle, die im Kreislauf des Lebens festhängen – immer auf der Jagd nach dem nächsten Schritt, sich in den gleichen alten Melodien verlieren und versuchen, im ganzen Lärm etwas Sinnvolles zu finden. Mit nachdenklichen Texten geht es hier um das Paradox, nirgendwohin zu kommen und sich gleichzeitig überall zu fühlen. Der perfekte Soundtrack für die Tage, an denen du im Kreis läufst und dich fragst, ob mehr dahintersteckt, aber den Ride trotzdem genießt. Also, bleib ruhig in der Dauerschleife – manchmal ist das genau das, was du brauchst, um weiterzukommen.

The Moon Fell out of the Sky

Written on a visit to seaside town Hastings, "Hot Air Balloon" captures a fleeting, surreal moment—waking up in his van to a golden haze, looking down at the old town and sea, and watching a blimp lazily follow the shoreline.
The song embodies the sleepy, sepia-toned charm of that day: spontaneous conversations, coffees at The Dunes, thoughts of a late swim, and the beauty of simple observations—like "there’s sand in my shoe, so bad news."
With groovy, addictive drums, washed-out horns, glitchy samples, and driving guitars, "Hot Air Balloon" feels both intimate and expansive. One of my favorite details in the production is a playful sound bite of a child’s voice saying, “It’s my turn,”—a moment captured from a sampler I borrowed from a good friend in Bristol. His kids, excited to have their turn on the mic, unknowingly created a perfect little gem, which I wove throughout the track to complement the drum design. It adds a touch of spontaneity and warmth that makes the song feel even more personal.

Bringing additional depth to the recording, Chris Matthewson’s baritone guitars and KD Kadar’s expert mixing tie the sound together, shaping a track that feels like a dreamy memory—hazy, heartfelt, and effortlessly cool. The track was co-produced by Michael Baker and KD Kadar, ensuring a seamless blend of organic and electronic textures.

"Isn't Love Important" is a song from Jonny Fallout's new album, "Travelogue", released on Triplicate Records (https://jonnyfallout.bandcamp.com). The track combines influences from synthwave to IDM. Dreamy synths and airy, warped pads, underpinned by the scattered and kaleidoscopic arpeggios coalesce beautifully into a wonderfully unique sonic mix.

Another track from forthcoming mini album

Misaligned

Nostalgia is the sophomore album from Patron Saints, and a more diverse record that the debut 'Lateralism' which was released in 2024.

With a larger scope and more focused vision, Nostalgia doesn't sit still for a moment. Instead, it careers wildly through genre-bending electronica song-craft, through deep house, downtempo, rave, dubstep and synthwave, culminating in the magnum opus 'Chicago' that rounds out the album like an electro-symphony in 4 parts.
