Comment
This track has been featured in a couple of Hot Mixes over the last few of weeks and it's had such a great reaction every time. The track and the man behind it really deserve this Essential New Tune. It's a brand new release on Knee Deep In Sound called Scream and it comes from the main man at ANTS himself, key resident, Andrea Oliva. This week’s Essential New Tune is featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 32:30 mins here.
