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. This week all the credit goes to our special guest curator, Trevas.

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.

INTRODUCING TREVAS

Trevas is no stranger to Freshonthenet. A regular face in the Eclectic Picks and, if he’s well behaved, the Listening Post and Fresh Faves.

When it comes to his own music, Trevas is not one to be pigeon holed. Awakening Organica is ‘modern Kraftwerk’, Thames Iron Works is dark and industrial, Sandstorm Rising belongs on the soundtrack to a perilous journey backpacking across the Middle East, but he went for ambient with his most recent tracks such as Lunar Maria.

Listen to Trevas, and Listen To Trevas’ Picks this week…

RADIO OPPORTUNITIES

We all have ambitions to get on national radio, but in the meantime there are loads of great, independent radio stations that are always looking for new music of the alternative variety. They offer no promises, but the following hosts tell me they that, if you made this list, they’d like you to get in touch to be considered for their show:

• Lucas Gil, presenter of Supernova on Glitterbeam Radio (Twitter @lucasgil, apply by his website here)
• Joe Figueira of North Manchester FM (Twitter @moretonguy, apply with MP3, short bio & twitter handle by e-mail to joefigueira@yahoo.co.uk)
