Comment
"It is a record that the producer gave me over the Christmas New Year period. I couldn't stop playing it. We have actually been playing it on the radio during January as well. The guy that made it has made so many house classics from back in the day. We are talking about the mighty Frenchman. This week's ENT is Adore from Bob Sinclar."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 40.24 here.
