Great work guys... good to hear the uke front and centre with the vocals with excellent support from the other four string...

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (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 30th November: 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/batch388

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 that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Christmas tracks are set aside for our annual Christmas track roundup playlist which will be posted on Christmas week.

Silva Bumpa - 12 August 2025

After my last label mix (Kartoons) I thought it best for my next mix to pay homage to my all time favourite drum & bass producers, two artists who I have stalked on Discogs in a kind of worrying fashion over the last few years, trying to pick up obscure remixes and forgotten bits of vinyl. Aphrodite has carried his style well over the years and since the early days of jump up his production has been duplicated, copied, ripped off by many - some have succeeded in manipulating that trademark bass, others have blatantly done a poor job. I don't think that drum & bass would have been what it was in the mid 90's without contribution from both Micky Finn & Aphrodite, nearly every set in '95 and '96 featured heavily with tracks from Urban Takeover and other sub labels. I think for me, the clever use of hip hop samples, straight kicks and snares along with the original wobble bass seems to be a winning formula.

It really hit home when Stalker was featured in Human Traffic in 1999, the same year Aphrodite released his self titled album - this was a time when, for me, the direction of drum & bass seemed uncertain. A time when new genres were popping up all over the place, most of my close DJ friends had moved over to the likes of UK garage or the deeper aspects of drum & bass.

Aphrodite obviously still plays all over the world, his sets these days still seem to feature the same spark his production did all those years ago, he seems to have moved on though bassline wise with his own production - not really something I am that keen on. That's just a person thing though although I guess he had to move on sometime.

So here's part one of some of my all time favourite releases by Micky Finn & Aphrodite, a collection spanning many years and many samples. All mixed on 2 Technics 1210's and a DJM700, nothing fancy but then I don't think this series needs it.

I sing and write songs, and play the guitar and ukulele a bit. I’m 13 so still at school. I’d been going to Backbeat Music School in Shrewsbury once a week for a few weeks prior to this Covid thing (you might have heard about it, ask your mum) but since then it’s all been cancelled so I took the opportunity to write a couple of songs myself and then recorded them at home (my Dad helped a bit with the recording).  There is also a Billie Eilish cover on my page - the lyrics to that one are misinterpreted a lot of the time!!  I hope you like my songs and get time to drop a comment. Thanks a lot, Macey Pezz x
