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 13th May: 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/batch529

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.

Painted Ladies

Here's one from the back catalogue!

[English below]
Mae fy mrawd a finnau wedi bod yn sgwennu caneuon gyda'n gilydd ers cyfnod hir rŵan. Dyma gân o'n "back-catalogue", wedi'i ysgrifennu nôl ym Metws-y-coed yng nghanol y 2010au, wn ni ddim pryd yn union. Roedd y gân yn poblogaedd iawn gyda'n gynulleidfaoedd ar y pryd (roedden ni'n berfformio o dan enw arall adeg yna). 

Buom ni'n recordio'r gân yn 2018 yn Rhydychen gyda'n ffrindiau, Nico a Jakes (sydd bellach yn berfformio o dan yr enw, Pecq, ewch i wrando arnyn nhw!), ond ni ryddhaom y gân oherwydd doeddwn ni ddim yn gigio lot gyda'r prosiect erbyn hynny, gan fod ni'n ddau yn bwy mewn dinasoedd gwahanol. 

Mae gennon ni prosiect newydd yn bellach, fel rydach chi wedi sylwi, felly, dyma chi'r gân "bwdl ldl lwm bwm bwm", o'r diwedd! Mwynhewch.

My brother and I have been writing songs together for a while now. Here's one from our back catelogue. We came up with this little ditty while jamming on the piano in our family home in Betws-y-coed at somepoint towards the middle of the 2010s, not sure when exactly. It was a hit with audiences at the time (we performed under a different name back then).

We recorded the song in Oxford in 2018 with our friends Nico and Jakes (who now perform under the name Pecq, checl them out!), but then we ended up not releasing it, because we weren't gigging that much with that band at the time due to us living in different cities. 

Since then, as you've noticed, we started this new project! :D So, the time came to release the "bobl lobl lom bom bom" song at last! Enjoy :)

My love, my love
is bigger than your whole world. 
It grows, it grows
and conquers everything
My heart, my heart
is beating just for you,
And for your love
I would do anything
      
I can't help it, I'm in love with you 
You're the only thing I want to do

My heart, my heart,
is hotter than the brightest star
It grows it grows,
and burns up everything
Your eyes, your eyes,
they carry me oh so far
And for one look,
I would do anything

For    your eyes
For    your heart
For    your love   
        
I can't help it, I'm in love with you    
You're the only thing I want to do

My love is bigger and brighter than anything
My love will set you on fire and burn you up
My love is bigger and brighter than anything
You can imagine

My love is bigger and brighter than anything
My love will set you on fire and burn you up
My love is bigger and brighter than anything
You can imagine

My Love

Ever since we released MetaGoth#1 back in 2022, we have been promising to create a MetaGoth#2. We are thrilled to tell you that we have at last done exactly that!

At a cracking 165bpm, MetaGoth#1 was a danceable track full of palpable tension, anger and defiance. As its name suggests, it was also a playful take on familiar gothic tropes and sounds, plus a lot of what came after those heady days in the early ‘80s, when the two of us helped, in our own small way, to bring this musical genre into being. 

Alone (MetaGoth#2) carries on in this same vein. It takes the same riffs and augmented samples that we used to create MetaGoth#1, but this time it broods along at an imperious 61bpm, and hosts a new set of fabulous percussion and vocals, referencing an altogether more melancholic and poetic facet from the postpunk scene. Complementing this are the lyrics, drawn from that most gothic of writers, Edgar Allan Poe. 

Why not have a listen to MetaGoth#1 after you have heard Alone (MetaGoth#2), and see how many shared samples and sounds you can spot!


From childhood's hour I have not been 
As others were - I have not seen 
As others saw - I could not bring 
My passions from a common spring. 
From the same source I have not taken 
My sorrow; I could not awaken 
My heart to joy at the same tone; 
And all I lov'd - I lov'd alone.
(from the poem, Alone, by Edgar Allan Poe)

Alone (MetaGoth#2)

Gradients

Animal Chuki - Frutero (Decimas De Nicomedes Santa Cruz)

Señor Chancho - Momposound

Kevin sent Diane a massive set of big, scary drum patterns to play around with, along with some video footage of a night drive through Chicago, where he lives. Straight away, this set the mood for the new song. It would be something urban, something nocturnal, something to do with confinement, escape and the joys and sorrows of city life.
Diane went looking for samples, and quite by accident she stumbled across a fairly thin and weedy sounding set of short guitar riffs. She wondered what they would sound like if she fed them through one of her virtual amps and speakers, then she started to layer effects, do a bit of warping and transposing… and suddenly they didn’t sound so weedy any more. She added a bit of MIDI bass, and the essence of the song was there.
Next came a melody, which of course had to serve the epic, anthemic thing that was slowly taking shape. There was something so plaintive, so happy-sad about the melody that emerged, and this in turn determined the subject matter. 
The finished song evokes those glimpses and longer, wondering looks at the bright young things that populate every city on the weekend. They flash in and out of our field of vision, like fireworks against the darkness of the urban night, here and then gone just as suddenly. On the surface they seem to be having such fun—such furious, frenzied, desperate, self-annihilating fun—that we can only wonder at the pain that it masks.

Broken Minds - Nightshift

WL//WH Premiere: DOVGLASS - "Shrouds" [Bloody Electronics]

Dovglass (@dovglass) is a musician and producer from Brazil who traverses the barbed-wired edges between EBM, Darkwave, and Industrial.

WL//WH is pleased to premiere Dovglass' cut "Shrouds", taken from the Various Artists "Blood Selections Chapter 3" 10-track compilation, which fuses gritty, mechanical Industrial clangour with repetitive, mesmeric EBM propulsions through a surgical interlock of stark, thumping beats, flickering obsessive synth loops and driving droning low ends, to command the dancefloor into a bleak state of burned-out hypnosis.

Going back to the blood selections releases, 
We are pleased to present you our third installment.
As we fall with the eyes fully opened into the punk-influenced electronic music world, this release is completely driving our dramatic thoughts through this techno/punk overwhelming line-up.
From EBM/Techno dark beats to more sentimental and melodic styles; but still tracking the love for the dark electronics world.
We hope you really enjoy it, as the world is going culturally downstairs, we must always choose a different movement, lifestyle and paths to walk.

PRE ORDER REMIX ALBUM (RELEASED FEBRUARY 2021) :
➡️ https://galletascalientesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/no-m-s-velorio-remixes

A innovative approach to reggae music. A truly unique fusion of genres.

From Tumaco, Colombia, Plu Con Pla fuses traditional rhythms from the Pacific coast of Colombia such as Currulao and Bunde, with reggae, hip-hop, and subtle electronic beats.

Plu Con Pla is an eleven piece band that brings together two distinct musical concepts, creating something we’ve never heard before.  
On front of the stage, a complete Currulao section sets the vibe with a powerful vocal combo, traditional instruments from the pacific coast of Colombia (bombo, cununo, marimba), and elements of West African origins (Ngoni, Djembe). They are joined by the force of a full reggae ensemble of drums, guitar, bass and keyboards.

The group takes its name from a traditional dish from Tumaco. “Plu” stands for Plumuda, a local fish, and “Pla” is short for “Platano”, the plantain you’ll have on your plate nearly every time you eat lunch in Colombia.

The title of their first EP, “No Mas Velorio”, speaks for itself: “No More Funerals”, sending a powerful message about how the region suffered from the civil war. “We ask forgiveness for whatever it is we’ve done, and we’ll live in the clouds, that way we won’t hurt anyone. We worked this soil, it was our land, but we’ll leave it to you, because we don’t want any more funerals…”

Its been a while since Ive had proper mix, having played around with my vinyl since Lockdown, starting my little old Mint Trax record label, dusting off my Bass guitar to laydown some live tracks … and then completely changing my Dj set up… probably in hindsight biting off a little more than this minty Bear can chew and relying on the good folks on Mixcloud to supply me with some amazing Guest Sessions… 2020 has been blessed really!

And so, upon my return we thought it very fitting to offer up something of a feast, with the help of my very good friend and all round top Jock Skyecacthcer who really has put juicy jumbo sized cherry on top of this cake…  I must say a huge thanks!  Now all thats left is for ask you whack on some decent headphones, or even better a saucy great speaker system and crank it up.. enjoy the drums, say hi,,,,, enjoy life
