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.

INTRODUCING MILD HORSES

Mild Horses recently caught our attention with his track, Eye of the Behemoth, which Stanley Kubrick and Richard Strauss are probably listening to on the radio in a roadside diner right now. Last week Mild Horses had his eyes, and ears, on last week’s inbox. Check out his picks below…

A FEW WORDS FROM MILD HORSES

This was an interesting exercise for me as whilst I listen to a lot of music (records and the radio at home, MP3’s on the go, this routine was pretty much nailed down in the early 00’s) as I don’t subscribe to any of the streaming services (save for the odd free trial) so there is a blind spot I have to stuff that bubbles under what might get on 6Music (time is also a factor here, full time job, own music to make, life in the way, blah blah blah).



There was a lot I liked on this playlist and the picks I have made are things that immediately grabbed me and got on “YES!” list straight away. There was a sizeable “maybe” list too, but I had enough going on the “this grabs me right now!” shortlist that I didn’t feel the need to dip into it. Enjoy the music!”

STEP 1 – LISTEN

Listen to this weeks Eclectic Picks playlist on Soundcloud here.

After 7 days, the playlist will be updated with the next batch, and this week’s picks will be added to the 2024 playlist below.

STEP 2 – SPREAD THE WORD

Do you ever think, or hear people say, “there’s no good music any more”? Maybe they aren’t looking in the right places. Prove them wrong:

• Subscribe to the playlist
• Listen in each week
• Tell your friends
• Shout on social media

The more people listen to this playlist, the more exposure unsigned artists receive. So spread the word!

STEP 3 – MUSIC VIDEOS?

Music is great. Music videos are better. Keep the momentum going, send any music videos our way and, if we’re in a good mood, we’ll add the best ones to our music video playlist here.
