Pete Tong's Essential New Tune
Like A Dream
Adriatique & Rivo
X Recordings
out now
Comment
"It comes from the Swiss duo Adriatique, who team up with the young French DJ, Rivo. Rivo's been making music since the tender age of 15 and got his big break when he put out an unofficial remix of Disclosure's classic hit 'You & Me', which went viral on TikTok, amassing over 3.5m views. It caught the attention of Disclosure and was put out officially to become a bit of a global sensation in clubs and on streaming platforms. Adriatique was one of the supporters of that record, and they've got in the studio together to release 'Like A Dream' on X Recordings, their own label. It's a crossbreed of their two sounds and is 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 34.16 here.
