Eclectic Picks: Batch 460

Every week Signal Committee present an Eclectic Picks playlist. All tracks are selected from the full inbox of 200 tracks that are submitted each week to Fresh On The Net.

WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR?

Our playlists are orientated to the alternative music fan. Lyrics are not essential, abstract ideas are embraced and the fusing of different genres is encouraged. If you used to write band names on your pencil case at school, you’ll probably like our playlists.

    love that Slow Bones track… tried to add it and then realised I’d already got it… , going crazy I think.

  2. Ruth Bennett

    I really like the Plant Love track by Hautboy. A pleasantly different take on the EDM/Pop tracks around with the ethereal flute sounds flowing through the mix.
    Will be checking out and following this playlist from now on.

  3. Delighted to see Novablood on this list. You guys clearly have impeccable taste 🙂
