The uploader has replaced the old system of sending your demo in to a radio station, and is a handy little tool for musicians and journos alike: we can mark and download songs we're interested in, and the musician will get an automated email to say we've listened. So hopefully it's win-win.</p> <p>The only downside if I'm honest is the sheer volume and sometimes lack of quality control on the uploads. In order to find the gems you've got to trawl through a lot of painful music that either isn't ready to be in the world yet, or hasn't been recorded well, or suffers from really bad vocals, bad lyrics, bad guitar playing, drums out of time, and everything that could possibly be wrong with a track. Musicians - check yourselves before you send in your track, please!</p> <p>But the gems are worth it all, and it's fantastic getting to know artists from all over Wales that probably would find it difficult to get in touch without this system. I'm also in the privileged position of sending the good ones on to my colleague Tom Robinson to play on the Introducing show on BBC 6 Music, and we recommend artists on to play festival stages. This year BBC Radio Wales saw Cuba Cuba go through to play at Reading and Leeds.</p> <p>So here are some tracks and a little about some new musicians I thought were pretty good on the Introducing Uploader this week:</p> <script type="text/javascript"> gloader.load(["glow", "1"], { async: true, onLoad: function (glow) { glow.ready(function () { var emp = new embeddedMedia.Player(); emp.setWidth("446"); emp.setHeight("106"); emp.setDomId("emp21a"); emp.setPlaylist("https://"+location.host+"/wales/music/media/mp3/ceri-frost-no-time-like-the-past.xml"); emp.write(); }); glow.ready(function () { var emp = new embeddedMedia.Player(); emp.setWidth("446"); emp.setHeight("106"); emp.setDomId("emp21b"); emp.setPlaylist("https://"+location.host+"/wales/music/media/mp3/ookami-sunsets-on-the-mountain.xml"); emp.write(); }); glow.ready(function () { var emp = new embeddedMedia.Player(); emp.setWidth("446"); emp.setHeight("106"); emp.setDomId("emp21c"); emp.setPlaylist("https://"+location.host+"/wales/music/media/mp3/conek4_all_city.xml"); emp.write(); }); } }); </script><div id="emp21a" class="player"> <p>In order to see this content you need to have both <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/askbruce/articles/browse/java_1.shtml" title="BBC Webwise article about enabling javascript">Javascript</a> enabled and <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/askbruce/articles/download/howdoidownloadflashplayer_1.shtml" title="BBC Webwise article about downloading">Flash</a> installed.

With a new album coming out this winter, the songs he's shared with us on the Uplaoader sound so classic, full, confident and excellent.</p> <p><strong>Big Si - Going Nowhere</strong><br> How about some mellow hip hop with strong, confident lyrics, mellow melodies and samples from the wilds of north Wales? A hat doffed also as he's already worked alongside LL Cool J's producer DJ Bobcat, released four EPs online, and gained respect with the UK hip hop community. There are tracks available on his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/BIGSITV">YouTube</a> channel (some explicit lyrics and themes).</p> <div id="emp21b" class="player"> <p>In order to see this content you need to have both <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/askbruce/articles/browse/java_1.shtml" title="BBC Webwise article about enabling javascript">Javascript</a> enabled and <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/askbruce/articles/download/howdoidownloadflashplayer_1.shtml" title="BBC Webwise article about downloading">Flash</a> installed.

He's a multi instrumentalist, and has created a beautiful drum and bass track here that I found on the Uploader. If you like what you hear, you can find more tunes from him on SoundCloud too.</p> <p><strong>Daine - Stranded</strong><br> Daine aka Daine Rusowich is a 22 year old musician, who mainly plays in hardcore, punk and thrash bands, but needed an outlet for his softer side. He had some songs up his sleeve that definitely didn't fit into the bands he was in. There's a wonderful melancholia here: a great taster for his solo work for the future. It reminds me a little of James Blake but voice and guitar have a wonderful quality. You can watch a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrGoA7PUmUo">video for Stranded</a> on YouTube.</p> <p><strong>Feel free to comment!</strong> If you want to have your say, on this or any other BBC blog, you will need to <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/users/login">sign in</a> to your BBC iD account.
