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 12th May 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/batch569

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.

A.S.N is a journey of a night out, from a woman's inner monologue of how the night is going from pre's to being at the club making the most of their night with their closest friends.

The wacky adventures of Inspector Looso - New Fetchflix TV Show

Leïla Pignon, the dazzling daughter of François Pignon and Marlène Sasseur, is a star auditor at the Ministry of Revenue, just unlike her old man, François. Now, here's where it gets juicy. Inspector Luc Looso bumped into the enchanting Leïla in a stable near the quaint village of Brouage, France. Luc, always the sneaky fox, was pretending to investigate the "mysterious disappearance" of a horse that, surprise surprise, had never actually vanished. Meanwhile, Leïla was there to dig into the finances of the stable's owner.

In a move straight out of a rom-com, Luc invited Leïla to gallop with the most stunning stallion in the stable. His plan? To seduce her and, more importantly, create one heck of a diversion. As they trotted through the countryside, Cupid went full throttle. Sparks flew, hearts raced, and it was love at first sight.

But plot twist! Looso was one of the very owners of the stable and had conveniently "forgotten" to declare his horse rental income to the Ministry of Revenue. Uh-oh. Here's hoping he can pull a rabbit out of his hat to wiggle out of this one!

Musical Notes: This music illustrates the moment when Luc and Leïla ride stallions together and lovingly in the Brouage countryside in France. It is inspired by the music of Emmanuel Chabrier and David Arnold in Casino Royale James Bond movies.

The Christmas Tango

In the writing, I always saw this as my 'Abba / Nick Drake' song. Owes a great deal to Joanna Newsom...

No Authority

I've struggled to put into words the impact of Scott Hutchinson's passing and I don't even think this comes close. As someone who is still battling depression and suicidal thoughts on a daily basis I would say this is a somewhat cathartic release. It's a sad song and I'm going to suggest that you need to be kind to yourself and only listen to this if you feel up to it. So much love to everyone.

So open about it
Cut myself open about it
They said talk to your friends
Well I talked to my friends and still it came
Unwelcome shame
Starting over again and again and again and again

The river knows
The river knows which way to take me
To take me home

Written and recorded by Jo Whitby

For Scott

The second time I've tried to record this. It's pretty empty - that's probably why it came together as quickly as it did. The odd harp-like piano effect is a result of taping the top of the piano strings with duct tape.

People Mind, People Matter

The soundtrack to an imaginary 1980s dystopian sci-fi French movie. Out now on Polytechnic Youth.
