Comment
I actually premiered this track on last week's show and it got the socials buzzing. It’s currently unreleased, it comes from a 21-year-old producer and band member based in London but who grew up in Barcelona. He’s one half of Thalab, his first EP Ende was picked up by Sacha’s label, Last Night On Earth, last year and this is a brand new track called La Dorada from Tibi Dabo.
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 33:25 mins here.
