Comment
It's a bit of a DJ special on the Eurythmics classic, Love is a Stranger. The original came out in '83 as the band's fifth single, and this remix has come via a new Eats Everything prodigy. His name is Lord Leopard and he's got a new EP coming on Edible. This track has been getting an incredible reaction in Ibiza this year and we managed to steal it from his box. 
This week’s Essential New Tune is featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 31:40 mins here.
