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 4th November 2024: 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/batch548

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.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

After You

"butterfly party" is a breathtaking indie-pop ode to new love's thrill and vulnerability. Intimate piano and guitar provide a delicate foundation for layered, emotive vocals conveying giddy excitement and nerve-wracking uncertainty.
The evocative lyrics paint vivid snapshots of everyday moments - shared coffees, late-night talks - that deepen a blossoming connection, alongside the all-consuming feelings of romance. As the production swells, hushed verses build to a cathartic, vulnerability-laced chorus.
"butterfly party" expertly straddles folk-tinged intimacy and pop accessibility, with lush harmonies and earworm melodies. This sincere exploration of falling in love marks the artist as a compelling new voice in introspective indie-pop.

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Kompakt 2013 was invited to contribute to Cologne’s highly reputed art fair, Art Cologne. For the event, WOLFGANG VOIGT designed, inter alia, a sound installation situated in the entrance area of the fair. In line with the cool steel and glass architecture, the abstract minimal „machine music“ flowed out of the manually operated arpeggiator.
Under the title " ZUKUNFT OHNE MENSCHEN“, Voigt created a multimedia concept in ten parts, composed of music, videos, and digital painting. Improvising with virtuosity on industrial sequencer and computer programmes, Voigt created individual sound and visual artwork that comes alive only through the artist’s unique style.
The music sounds as if produced by a random generator although it is made by hand, e.g. like a piano. From photos Voigt took in urban environments he erased all images of people and text, using digital paint programmes, and deformed them into abstract art. Mechanical painting is the term Voigt uses for this excessive style, in which no real paint flows and everything is revocable. The cursor, recorded on the film whilst painting over the photos, looks like a garden hose out of control, boring through the picture.
With “ZUKUNFT OHNE MENSCHEN“, Voigt shares a title with a TV docu-fiction, which phantasizes in a not entirely serious manner about the planet’s future following the disappearance of mankind. Using „dehumanised“ digital machines, Voigt creates a striking acoustic and visual world with an unique artistic signature. The Man Machine 3.0.
The release, now available as deluxe book-CD format, comprises 10 pieces of music and 10 works of visual art.
