Gabriels & Kerri Chandler
Parlophone
out now
Comment
"This week's ENT comes from Gabriels, who are a trio from the LA region and are led by the amazing voice of Jacob Lusk. I played the original of this tune a few weeks ago in the eclectic selection, and now it gets a rare remix from one of the originators of deep house, Kerri Chandler. This is pure class, pure joy, turn it up."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 32.33 here.
