"This week's ENT comes from Rebuke, a new producer from Ireland who thought the tune would be too weird for any label, but it caught the attention of Jamie Jones and is now getting a release on his Hot Creations label. This week's ENT is Along Came Polly from Rebuke."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 36:02 mins here.
