Comment
"It's going to be the second time in 2024 that Ame, partners with Dixon in the legendary Innervisions label, have delivered an ENT. Ame, of course, are Kristian Beyer & Frank Wiedemann. This is a track that they have been teasing in their sets all year and been hammered by their friend Dixon as well. We've been chasing them down for it and it's just been released." 
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 34.43 here.
