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 8 June: from around midday on Friday 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/batch369

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 will be invisible to everyone. 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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 369

Tracks with a Lothians connection released on soundcloud in June (or discovered by U&CEd in June). Thanks to Monosapiens & Conscious Route whose new EP inspired the title of this month's collection.

Better Days (June 2020 tracks)

By My Side

CHECK MASSES single from debut album 'NIGHTLIFE'. Album and single available on vinyl from Triassic Tusk Records, and across all streaming/download platforms NOW!

NIGHTLIFE

LOST IN THE CITY

We are Black Knight Satellite A four piece rock band from Birmingham. Organic waves, distorted guitars, pounding rhythms and bountiful vocals. NOW more than anytime in history, is the time to Question everything?! Musically influenced by Black Sabbath Pink Floyd and The Doors lyrically influenced by the never ending loop of life, how it sometimes feels like you choose your own personal free range prison, even more so with the current lock down situation. Question Everything?! is out now across all streaming platforms!

Question Everything?!

A slice of dream-pop electronica, a story of passionate lovers and a sea passage take place on a Saturday night. Waves of rolling piano and shimmering siren harmonies surround us as we board into the storm. Phoebe Coco draws us close to see the seascape between the lovers; crashing waves, glimpses of treasure and descending moments of bliss. Featuring the harmonies of her twin sisters, Grace and Dorothy, backed by arpeggiated bass, drum machines, shakers and melodicas it is framed by Phoebe’s signature piano and dreamy vocals.

 Out on the 9th of March on Sharp Attack Records, and also featuring on the anticipated forthcoming debut album from Phoebe Coco, it is co-produced by Phoebe Coco with Marc Makavov and Vanessa Anne Redd and mixed by Grammy Award winning Eduardo De Le Paz.

When faced with yourself, do you truly reflect?

Sometimes life reveals a change of perspective.

Hope everyone's well, otherwise and considering.

FEAR is a VIRUS [Digi Single]

FEAR is a VIRUS

Reminding people that The Funk is relevant in the 21st Century.

Described as a 'Creative Producer' by industry types, a one-man Stank-Factory who produces music at Studio 52 (his bedroom) in a North London warehouse.

Although the ideas are musically eclectic, a common theme is retained throughout: utmost respect for the groove which ties genres together. A bit like The Force. Just listen to more P-Funk, you'll understand.

His mission is two-fold:

1. Reinstate The Funk as an attitude permeating our daily lives, so we can cure the Placebo Syndrome and focus on Life.

2. To use music as a Vanguard to rally Funkateers towards a revolution of the mind!
