Bob Moses

Domino

out now

Comment
This is from a band we've fallen in love with over the past year: they did an exclusive session for us just before Christmas, smashed this year's Coachella festival, were magnificent at Do Lab last Sunday night and also played for me at my own pool party in Palm Springs last Sunday. This is the world premiere of the brand new Tale Of Us remix of 'Tearing Me Up' from Bob Moses.
This week’s Essential New Tune is featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 38:00 mins here.
