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 21st July 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/batch579

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.

Co-written with production duo FutureCut (Little Mix, Lilly Allen) and Sam Harper and produced by Hoost (Rina Sawayama), "Block & Delete" bounces along 00’s R&B influenced synths with clear influences from Tinashe, Justified era Justin Timberlake and a dash of Tate McRae. ‘Inspired by one of my friends who was going through a toxic break up. It’s the ultimate girl advice about setting boundaries and knowing your worth. Ultimately choosing yourself when a relationship no longer serves you, just strength, that’s what I’m going for’, says Erin.

Avant garde and ambient, Italian rockers Medivh have written a “lullaby that gathers the thoughts that crowd your mind and do not allow you to rest. Your soul dances like a dervish in an attempt to find a balance between what you feel and what you live and so, imprisoned in your fears, you seek refuge in the Fires Of The Blue Moon.”
