Comment
"It comes from the mighty Innervisions label in Berlin, celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. The track sees label founders Âme teaming up with their labelmate Trikk, and long-term collaborator Jens Kuross. After more than two decades at the forefront of electronic music, Âme continued to push boundaries, proving once again that their journey is far from over. This week's ENT is, 'Don't Waste My Time' from Âme and Trikk, featuring Jens Kuross."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 28.36 here.
