Comment
This week’s Essential New Tune is taken from a forthcoming release on Rekids, which teams up the main man Radio Slave with SRVD. I’ve had the pleasure of having this in my record box for the past 4 or 5 weeks and it's truly bringing back the spirit of old Detroit tunes as only Radio Slave knows how. This is a monster, B.Traits loves it as well, this is ‘Elevate’. 
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 31:52 mins here.
