Comment
"I ended up doing an after-party at Destino's ‘Tox’ a few weeks ago and was going back-to-back with Andy Bros and the big man Solomun, who just floored the place with this and I’ve been playing it ever since. It’s also getting a lot of love from the likes of Dixon, I think it’s going to be big."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 32:12 mins here.
