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 10th 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/batch562

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.

Going Back To My Roots

Sohodolls - Thread

Lyrics:

Call myself a writer don't know what to say
Sat under the light in my brother's old bay
He feels much brighter wish I'd gotten that
I'm left with the whites of my eyes from my dad

Call myself a fighter I'm left with no tank
Sat under this light of the lamp coming blank
I feel much tighter than two years ago
My body's not right it's left dark in my soul

Leave me
Breathe me.

Call Myself A Writer (demo)

Distant Echo was written especially for this year's Piano Day, which is organised by pianist Nils Frahm. Piano Day is organised to celebrate the piano in all its guises and takes place on the 88th day of the year (the number of keys on a piano), which this year is March 29th.

The track reflects something of the dark mornings, tumultuous episodes and occasional serenity it was written within.

Master of Fine Arts (feat. Frank Yola)

Howl is track number 3 on studio album release, 'Naked Truth', by Autumn Dawn Leader, an album crowdfunded by friends and fans of the artist and recorded at Deadline Studios in Leicester. After years of make-do home recordings, Autumn wanted the chance of leaving a proper legacy, the gothic and prog-influenced album she was always meant to make, to showcase her powerful vocals, unique music, and emotive lyrics to their best. Thanks to the generosity of many who wanted this to happen as much as the artist herself, the album is now out and ready to reach its audience, to fill the ears and touch the hearts hearts of discerning music lovers everywhere. This song is a primal cry, woven with epic feels, and was inspired by the artist's struggle with BPD - Borderline Personality Disorder.

Dust of the Universe: An Ambient Drama in Four Acts - Act Three

This track is part of an EP called Moss Garden, to be released later this year.

In the afternoon the birds are back. Lately ravens and crows gather around, waiting for the winter to end. In our garden their rasping songs drown the dwellers tune, sending out a melancholic message of past times. Mysterious.

In 1968, Fania was taking the world by storm, and its roster of artists in the genre was the best of an already privileged era. To promote the label's sound, Pacheco created an orchestra—the Fania All Stars—in which all of its musicians and singers were stars of their respective bands.

Que Pasa? It's one of those featuring the lot, now — all chopped, remixed, rearranged, sped up and Jamified with a nice long get down mid section for a Friday night dancefloor, whatever day of the week and wherever that might be for you.
