    If clubbers don’t get the chance to rave to Intelidey in the future, we’re being robbed! Nostalgia and now in one 👌
    All these 5 tracks deserve to be out there and for people to pay good money for -I would!!

    HIERONIMO – Ana (She Called My Name)
    INTELIDEY – I Don’t Think (Infinity Wave)

  3. Oh my bloomin gawd! It’s just too hard this week! Alex Cambridge track is in amongst the best tracks I have ever heard at Fresh On The Net.
    I have changed my mind so many times, only just missiing out in these picks are Minnie Birch, Coupdekat (hopefully they will make it through to this weeks Fresh Faves)

  5. Yikes, I actually found it difficult to choses this week.

    The thing is, I listen to the whole inbox every week, so it is much better for me if artists making music I love aren’t kept from it for 3 months by making the ‘Fresh Faves’. However, I can see beyond my personal plight…

    BLAISE MC – KINGOFHEARTS
    GIROBABIES – Her Fancy Man
    GLASS FROGS – Magical
    LOST SIGNAL – Rooks
    THE ETHAL SKINNERS – Hearts Desire

    All credit to the Boomtown Bobbies for inspiring Copper Feel.

    Nice one… sunshine.

    ARTISTS:
    The point of this page is to try out your music on strangers. The votes you get here will not increase your chances of radio airplay. So PLEASE DON’T tell friends/family/fans you’re on the Listening Post this weekend – they’ll take it as a hint to come and vote for you.

    We can always tell when lots of new people show up and start voting for one particular artist and we always disqualify those artists instantly and permanently.

  21. This is a great project – lovely to have a space devoted to listening not shouting amidst a world of draining self-promotion for newbies like us.

    Choses sauvages I liked your percussive groove.
    Dekker lovely rich tone to your voice.
    Gabbytane great summer energy.
    Kodachrome cool loose homemade feel.

  25. Blaise MC took me right back to my love of trip-hop in the 90s and Sephine Lo’s track is achingly beautiful and reminded me of those delicate compositions David Sylvian made before he descended into atonal melancholy. The string arrangement is breathtaking.

    GIROBABIES – Her Fancy Man [Bold as Brass]
    LOST SIGNAL – Rooks [Rook Star]
    MINNIE BIRCH – Hook [Devastating…]
    PETE MYSON, STEPHANIE RAE – Moonlight [Serious(ly good) Moonlight]

  30. Amazing line up of tracks. Here’s my fave 5 …
    For me, Audiogram’s ‘Tours Toujours’ evokes a stylish and slightly decadent holiday-drive daydream. I really love Girobabies ‘Her Fancy Man’ for its cocky, sub- grunge swagger, while Ana’s ‘She Called My Name’ takes me back to the irresistable 90s indie trip-pop of the La’s. The synthwave ‘Rooks’ by Lost Signal steals me away to misty woods, then comes NOQI ‘Walk Above’ with a gorgeous prog-rock sensibility worthy of a Roger Dean cover. A great instrumental track!
    Cheers FOTN artists!
