Comment
"It has seen massive support from the likes of Solomon, Dixon, Jimi Jules, Chloé Caillet and Keinemusik guys. I've been hammering it myself as well. It comes from a new name, Tripolism, who are a Danish trio of friends and musical collaborators. This week's ENT is 'Dope Dance'."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 34.28 here.
