Comment
This is a track that I’ve been playing in my sets for the last couple of months, it’s shaping up to be a true underground monster in the Ibiza season. Also getting dropped by the likes of Damian Lazarus, Sven Väth, and the guy who made it was at DC10 last Monday playing alongside Rampa, this is Avalon from &ME.
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 38:00 mins here.
