This week we had the pleasure of welcoming North London-based singer, producer and record label co-founder Arun Sethi into the studio to discuss his latest venture in a long line of musical projects. As the creative director of , Arun is at the forefront of the UK鈥檚 IDM and electronic scene, which has provided Fresh On the Net with countless great tunes over the past year.

We spoke to Arun about what it鈥檚 like to have his fingers in so many delicious musical pies, as well as the innovation behind 鈥檚 emphasis on visuals to expand the listening experience. Arun鈥檚 also gave us his thoughts on the advantages of working under the moniker .

We heard an exclusive remix of Charo鈥檚 latest trailblazing single, which has apparently got as many girls swooning on the dancefloor as it has guys dancing. Listening to it, it鈥檚 easy to hear why. And for an advent calendar that鈥檒l expand your musical horizons rather than your waistline, be sure to check out the free giveaways on 鈥檚 .

Elsewhere, in our weekly plundering of the 6 Music session vaults, we struck gold with two incredible tracks from the incomparable New England solo artist Merrill Garbus a.k.a. . Never one to shy away from a bit of all-out lunacy, hearing Garbus鈥� and her band live is nothing short of exhilarating- just listen to the killer horn solos in both songs.

And it was business as usual for us in terms of bringing you the best streaming tracks on the net. aka singer Edward Ad-Jaye in Croydon, gave us a re-imagining of a old classic with 鈥楻ain Drops鈥�, making it sound fresher than, well, a drop of rain. And we heard the musical equivalent of burning incense from East London multi-instrumentalist , whose blissful electro track 鈥楳ean Times Pt.2鈥� caused the studio to reach almost dangerous levels of relaxation.

A few weeks ago Manchester鈥檚 were quick to tell us that there 鈥渁in鈥檛 no application鈥� on our laptops to give us soul. And this week Israel five-piece came to us in a similar state of ICT disarray, asking us how to convert PDF to JPG, via a 3-minute blast of insane electro-punk-rock. We wholly agree with their refrain of 鈥淲hat would I have done without the internet?鈥�, as without the world wide web we probably wouldn鈥檛 have heard this piece of barmy brilliance, the like of which was made for.And, again thanks to our old friend the internet, you can always listen again on iPlayer via the links on our home page.
