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, Dirty Freud.

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 DIRTY FREUD

Dirty Freud returns for his second stint as guest curator for the Eclectic Picks. Dirty Freud can claim the accolade of being the first artist we have seen perform Live, courtesy of the Nebula Stage at Bluedot Festival! Since then Dirty Freud has picked up some traction with Rough Trade and Ninja Tune, and they are eyeing up more festival slots this summer! Let this be a lesson to all those talented bedroom artists. Get out there…. Publish, Perform, Progress…. and most importantly, #keepitdirty.

A FEW WORDS FROM DIRTY FREUD

A great inbox as usual.

Was glad to do this with my bandmate Ruby this week. So so so much talent as always in this list and as always there is so much to put into the same playlist. For me this time I tried to pick as many different sounding tracks as possible as that is quite simply what I was craving that itch that has finally been scratched. From Folk, electronica, experimental, bashment, reggaeton to rock. I’ve been taken on a real journey so thank you so much and I, like every week, will be listening to what everyone is doing. Some really big tunes. I’ve become a fan of many new acts after this week’s deep dive into the Eclectic Picks.

See You on The other side.

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)
