Comment
"Now, this actually came in just before the show started, so it's a last minute appointment and something a bit special from Kelly G. It continues that kind of DJ Koze vibe from last year. lt's called Feels Good, I hope you love it as much as we do. It's loopy, it's infectious and it's this week's ENT."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 33:22 mins here.
