Pure Dopamine

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 15th May 2023: 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/batch488

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.

Cool melodic electro instrumental!

"The Fantom Man returns with Ponder. A tidily arranged ambient instrumental that has some lovely jazz-infused chords and playing, it is an agreeably upbeat major key instrumental in which he manages to bring a plethora of timbres into the mix while the main two-chord sequence holds centre stage as an accompaniment to sweet melodic motifs. Music that warms the heart." Trust the Doc Blog  Dr Neil March 310323

THE FANTOM MAN – Transcend (Ft. St3v3L33)
4.00 Another immersive and atmospheric instrumental from electro wizard The Fantom Man, who’s a veteran of this playlist and regularly reviewed on Neil’s Trust The Doc blog. Here TFM collaborates with St3v3L33 (Worthing musician Steve Peck) who sounds in places as if he’s channelling whalesong through his tenor sax. Once again, a no-brainer for this week’s Eclectic Picks.
