Every week we say it: "For radio play your track MUST be uploaded to BBC Introducing. No upload = no airplay" And every week excellent new music by UK artists arrives in our inbox at Fresh On The Net that I can't even consider for my radio show. 

Sometimes the artists are non-UK residents but more often they simply didn't read the instructions. We receive far more great tunes than we can possibly play each week, so if yours isn't on the BBC Uploader when we come looking for it, we simply play one of the others instead.

Here are 22 great tracks that I liked recently but couldn't include on my BBC Introducing Mixtape - playlisted for your listening enjoyment, in alphabetical order.

*** Lyrics ***
Send out into space
Never ending frames
Universe before 
My eyes, my eyes
	
Another galaxy
Colouring my ride
Somewhere in between 	
I'm free, I'm free

I want to meet the invisible me
Can't be haunted enough 	
To wake up and see
This is not the only reality 	
That is loading

I fall into dimensions	
This is it, that is all that I know
All that I know

Humankind is young
Sleeping with their eyes open	
Closed down higher thought
It feels wrong
So wrong that I 	

Fall into dimensions
This is it, that is all that I know 
All that I know

I am an ocean 	
The ocean is in my eye 	
My being is your being 	
Your being is my being


IRAH - Into Dimensions (single)

This track is made solely from the calls and songs of summer migrants birds to the UK. 

The percussion is Whinchat, Wheatear, Sedge Warbler and Grasshopper Warbler. 

The fluity, synthy and bassy notes are all sampled notes of Blackcap and Garden warbler song.

There is also Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Swallow, House Martin, Sand Martin, Tree Pipit, Spotted flycatcher, Swift and Cuckoo.

I  heard my first yesterday -  a Chiffchaff - always a highlight of the year for me - so this is to celebrate their arrival on my 'patch' - these are species that will be arriving over the next weeks. Blog: http://robymilling.blogspot.co.uk
