Comment
This comes on a new label that’s been put together by Hodge and Lee Burridge. Their new imprint is called Tale and Tone. This tune was massive at this year's Burning Man. Hodge and Lee are old time friends and have built All Day I Dream together, but this project represents a collection of their wide ranging tastes. Not restricted to one sound, we love this track, it’s Lost Desert and Amari featuring the vocals of Adomas, this is ‘Hunter’ and it is this week's Essential New Tune.
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 31.45 mins here.
