Neverender - Rampa remix
Justice, Keinemusik, Rampa & Tame Impala
Ed Banger / Because Music
out now
Comment
"I previewed it on last week's show and it's been released as part of Justice's Neverender remixes EP. If you went to Keinemusik's show in Finsbury Park this summer you would have heard them drop this to a massive reaction, as well as at parties right across the world no doubt they've been doing. I have had the privilege of playing this out in clubs for the last couple of months, and quite simply, I can't get to the end of the year and talk about my favourite records of the year and not include this. It is a well-deserved ENT, and is right up there as one of the remixes of the year."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 32.55 here.
