BBC Radio 6 News. Discover all the latest shows, sessions and mixes from 6 Music on the BBC Sounds app. Right now, the BBC introducing mixtape. River, forget my mistakes. Feel, cause I feel like. Said I'll never know. You say I kind of hate her anymore.
I don't, maybe I don't. I thought that you'd be sweet. Got stuck in my teeth. Sugar tore me to pieces. Then I ran again. I know it felt so terrible. I'm so impressed by these tears. But without salt on my face. So it can't be sweet.
I've come so far.
Starting off this week's BBC Introducing Mixtape on 6Music with last week's track of the week. That one came from Maddy Ashman. It's called Toffee. And right now you're locked into myself, Phoebe IH, here on 6Music. I am so excited to be bringing you the full line-up details of the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury. It got announced last week and last week.
Honestly, I think the line-up is one of the most outstanding that the BBC Introducing stage has ever had. But we'll get into all of that in a minute because first of all, I wanted to bring you a really special tune from someone who has only just started uploading to the BBC Introducing uploader. I present BBC Introducing in Scotland. That's where you can usually find me every Friday night when I'm not sitting in for Emily here on Six Music or over on Radio 1.
But tonight I'm in here in Six Music and it gives me the perfect reason to bring you this brand new tune from James Emmanuel. This is bringing to mind to me people like Gabriel's. He's got that full, rich gospel sound that blends so perfectly into R&B. This is James Emmanuel with Brothers and Sisters. Oh my brothers
Why are you treating our sisters this way? Think of our mother Don't you imagine what they'd have to say If they heard what you said Or saw what you did When you thought there was no one around Oh my brother
Would you let your daughter be treated so bad? Why don't you be? Give her the best that you can. I want to be like a shoe. Oh, my sister. Why are you treating our brother so cold? Please, would you listen?
None of us want to be left all alone No, we don't want to forget it And say sorry if we get it Oh, my sister, you want your son to grow Be strong, just let him be And give you the best that he can I want to be like a shoe
Scared of death, offending up alone Children crying in a broken home Picking up the pieces of a perfect mistake Oh, I'm sick and tired of the jealousy Didn't even know what you and me been through And I don't understand why won't let me be your And give you the best that I can I want to be your
Sounding so good on the BBC Introducing mixtape, that was James Emanuel. And right now you're here on Six Music with myself, Phoebe IH. And I am overjoyed to tell you that BBC Introducing have announced our line-up for Glastonbury 2025. We have got a stunning line-up featuring some of the most exciting new British artists.
They've all been championed by BBC Introducing from all across the UK. And there's going to be some familiar, friendly faces taking to the decks as well. I'm going to be playing you some of the artists that are performing on the stage over the festival on this show. But some of the other names include people like Alt Black Era, Beth McCarthy, Courtney Dixon, Debussy.
Lambrini Girls, who I absolutely love, Nectar Woods, Nia Smith, West Side Cowboy and so, so many more. There's going to be DJ sets as well from BBC Introducing's Jess Is It. I'm going to be DJing as well. And also the BBC Introducing stage is opening earlier than ever this year. It's opening on the Thursday, the 26th of June.
when Annie Mack and Nick Grimshaw, they're going to be recording an episode of their Sidetracked podcast in front of a live audience for the first time.
And there's going to be so much more happening on the BBC Introducing Stage across the weekend. We're going to be welcoming back Radio 1 Dance Family for a Radio 1 Dance Takeover on the Thursday. Emily Bilbeam, who usually presents this show, is teaming up with Nathan Shepard for Six Music's Indie Forever for some late night fun on the Friday. And there is so, so, so much more. ♪
All of the action happening at Glastonbury will be available on iAir and on social media with the highlights broadcast on BBC Introducing Shows across the UK. You'll be able to watch it all back on iPlayer and the YouTube channel. So if you're not going, don't worry, you won't miss any of the action afterwards.
And tonight I'm going to be playing you some of the artists that are going to be gracing the stage, starting with this one. This is such a get ready into the groove of the summer tune from Mercy. This one's called Flicker. Flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker. People believe, not give up. Flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker. Then talk a cheap old filler.

absolutely anything you were just listening to the unbelievable flows of Wanda who will be performing on the BBC Introducing stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival I am so hyped to see her shell down the place on that stage but right now here on the BBC Introducing Mixtape it is time for my track of the week six music the BBC Introducing Mixtape track of the week this
This week's Track of the Week comes to you from a band called Mercy Girl, who I have been supporting for a while on my BBC Introducing in Scotland show. This band are pretty fresh, but that doesn't mean that they are inexperienced, because all the members of the band have been working hard behind the scenes in the Scottish music scene for quite a while, but this project seems to be the one that is making the magic fly.
They sold out their debut headline a couple of months ago up in Glasgow. They have been blowing up on social media with their dark wave electronic sounds. It's something to get totally lost in. It's something to soundtrack completely.
intense feelings in the club or coming home after a questionable weekend. It's deeply reflective, it's meditative but still pulsing and driving. Their sound is so uniquely placed between rock and electronic. I absolutely
really think that this band are going to be an absolute household name so without further ado my track of the week for you this week is from Mercy Girl this one's called No Sound No Sound
I don't know whether I should be in the mosh pit or the nightclub with that one. That was my track of the week from Mercy Girl. It's called No Sound. And right now you're locked into the BBC introducing mixtape here on Six Music with myself, Phoebe IH, in for Emily Pilbeam this week to reveal to you some of the incredible artists performing on the BBC introducing stage at Glastonbury this year. I'm going to be bringing you more of them on the other side of the stage.

Hey.
To keep your heart for stations and love me about Coming back to myself I've been everywhere else I'm trying to find a love It's always been a bum But I put in my age To love my buddy home
Falling back into myself A vision of life, love and health Such a shame to waste away and run from what was dealt When the time and place to stay came We survived with no one else Inside my mind is where I dwell Define the lines I walk to hide those parts Well, I'm sure time will tell Debate my worth or lie in turn What a waste, I'm sure the lessons learned Let me go, I'm free to leave and live the life I burn
The sound of Webmums here on the BBC Introducing Mixtape. That one was featuring Esme Storm and it's called Remedy. And Webmums will be taken to the BBC Introducing stage at this year's Glastonbury. Honestly, playing all these tunes for you tonight is making me already ten times more hyped than I was for this festival. It's...
I'm going to struggle to actually leave the BBC Introducing stage and go and see anything else. All of the most exciting artists are gracing our stage. I cannot wait. And I'm really buzzing to be able to take to the decks myself on the Thursday night. I'll be doing a DJ set as well. So I cannot wait to spin you some selections from the BBC Introducing upcoming.
I'm going to stick right now with some more artists that are playing on the BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury. The next one that I'm going to bring you is from Jasmine Forti. If you're a fan of Lucy Dacus, then you might have spotted that Jasmine Forti is the support for her UK tour, which is coming up in a couple of weeks, as far as I'm aware. And wow, what a
a perfect pairing. Jasmine has just got that unbelievable singer-songwriter writing style that shows you almost like a stream of consciousness directly into her brain. She knows how to pick holes in your heart and then stitch them back together and I'm so, so ready to see how she's going to hold the audience in the palm of her hand at this year's Glastonbury Festival. This is the sound of Jasmine Forti with Tall Girl here on Six Music.
You sang a ball, I pretend I was her Like a Venus in first with a halo You sang a ball, I pretend she was me How different things would be if I'd said so Ears on, you thought about all the suns It was neon, just hope this never ends Fear and feelings, being friends I feel for you
The things you do is all I see. Oh, cause you're best friends with her. You're comparing your curves, painting her toes. My body is all I'm sweet as you can. And your skin is more under your clothes. Oh, it's the same old song. Kiss your wrist with the bread you want. Oh, cause you're

Someone changed the mirrors from Mally Havi, who is representing for BBC Introducing in Wales. Mally will be taking to the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury 2025. And I cannot wait to see the fierce live performer energy that she is going to bring. And we're going to go back to some more of the BBC Introducing artists playing at Glastonbury this year very shortly. But first, I wanted to bring you this example.
Wicked selection from the Six Music uploader this week. It's an artist called Blenko and it's called Don't Want The Party To Stop. So I've got a funny feeling that when I'll be driving home from Glastonbury this year, this is what I'm going to be blasting in the car. I reckon you want to turn this one up just now. It's Blenko. I don't speak to days That's my free from all my friends days Wait for the sun to set New York and I can't
I don't speak to you on Wednesdays
I want the party to stop. I don't want the bubble to pop. I don't want the sun to come up. I don't want the party to stop. The apocalypse is here, go get your funds up. Once before, so why you moving like a dumb? Up the mountain, drive the water like you're untouched. To the sun's up, so pride you for the care that truly loved us. Watch you fall on them like cattle.
I got back facing us. I did the crowd.

riffs for days from Native James. That one was called Fallen and it's not very often that something that's got a little bit of a metal tinge makes it onto the BBC introducing stage. So I am so hyped to see what Native James is going to bring to his performance. But
I reckon that after that, we might need to catch our breath a little bit. And I know just the artist that's going to help you breathe into relaxation. The next artist I'm about to bring you is someone that I feel particularly close to in terms of their music.
because I've been lucky enough to support them on BBC Introducing in Scotland for a while. However, if you are a regular Six Music listener, you'll probably know their name by now too. They are called Jacob Alon and their debut album called In Limerence has just come out. But before the album was released, then Jacob had already made it in for a live session on Six Music with Hugh Stephens, had already performed on Jules Holland around Christmas time.
They are such a phenomenal talent and anybody who interacts with them or listens to their music can hear that. So it was such a pleasure for me to get to announce to Jacob that they were performing on the
BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury and I honestly don't think I've ever heard an artist be so overwhelmed with happiness at receiving news like that. So every time that I think about telling Jacob that they would be performing, I get this massive smile on my face and I cannot recommend enough that you come down and catch Jacob at this year's festival if you're going because wow, what an artist they are.
But I'll let you hear for yourself and decide. This is Jacob Alon with Liquid Gold 25. The question

Just wasting time on the sofa. On the sofa. On the sofa. On the sofa. On the sofa.
Sounding so beautiful, it's brand new and good for you from Farm Boy, track called Sofa. And I reckon that anyone that's a fan of Bon Iver will have been loving that one. Right now you're locked into myself, Phoebe I hate. In for Emily Pilbeam this week on the BBC Introducing Mixtape on Six Music.
And I've had the pleasure of playing you, some of the artists, gracing the BBC Introducing stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival. And I'm about to squeeze in another one before the end of the show. I'm such a fan of this band I'm about to play you. They're called Adult DVD. And if you managed to get tickets to the sold-out Six Music Festival that happened in Manchester earlier this year, then you might have seen Adult DVD absolutely smash their set
out of the park and since then they've announced a run of European dates and festival dates and of course included in that is a little slot on the BBC introducing stage at Glastonbury where I cannot wait to see them riff it
up just like in this tune which is the perfect antidote to hipster beard stroking this tune is about pretending to like something just to fit in it's from adult dvd and it's called because i like it fluffy dog travel blog jazz bar because you like him new boat house boring spouse bad hair because you like the a shades of grey in suit because you like it

This edition of the BBC Introducing Mixtape is coming to an end, but thank you so much for joining me. I hope that I have got you as hyped about the line-up for BBC Introducing at Glastonbury as I am. And if you're going to the festival, please do come and say hello. I'll be doing a DJ set on the Thursday night. But don't forget, if you're not going, then you don't need to break your heart. There will be full coverage over iPlayer, the BBC Introducing socials, YouTube and YouTube.
everywhere else. And if you would like to have your finger on the pulse of new Scottish music, don't forget that I usually present BBC Introducing in Scotland. So tune into that on a Friday night. And that means, of course, that I'm going to leave you with a song that I've pulled from the Introducing in Scotland album.
