Comment
This is a track we've been playing for a couple of weeks and it's been getting an amazing reaction. It's actually forthcoming on Bob Sinclar's label, Yellow Productions, at the end of November and just sounds euphoric. 
This week’s Essential New Tune is featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 32:00 mins here.
