"This week's Essential New Tune is from Patrick Topping who is back in the house. It's the first track from his new label Trick and sonically its going somewhere that’s what is so exciting about it. The track was played earlier at the top of the mix with Annie Mac, but let's listen to it again. It’s called Watch What Ya Doing by Patrick Topping."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 28:28 mins here.
