Comment
It's another big record in that Afro House style. Championed by many of the protaginists in that world like the Kinder music team and Black Coffee, and me as it happens. This version has been remixed by Alan Dixon, who is currently featuring on Keinemusik's Thandaza and has previously collaborated with Adam Port. The artist responsible is Moeaike and they are starting to become prolific producers in the genre, recently smashing it with Malafama.
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 39.20 here.
