Pete Tong's Essential New Tune
Songs of Phase

Comment
This is taken from the band's second album, Outer, which is released a week from today. It comes from the one and only Dusky and I can announce that earlier this week, we recorded a special live session with the duo at the world famous BBC Maida Vale Studios. They came in and played four songs for us from the LP and a brand new reworking of the Dusky classic, Careless. And you'll get to hear that on next week's show. Meanwhile, a track that I road-tested at our Essential Mix at Output alongside Seth Troxler a couple of weeks ago in NYC; it really tore the roof off, and you're going to enjoy it. It's called Songs of Phase, this week's ENT, from Dusky. This week’s Essential New Tune is featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 30:45 mins here.
