Comment
"Now if you’ve been out in Ibiza so far this season you might have come across this, it’s been getting hammered by Marco Carola at his new Music On night at Pacha. I’ve been playing it and a couple of other DJs as well like Nic Fanciulli. It's something brand new from Italian DJ and producer Roberto Surace, called Joys. If you’re an old soul boy or girl you’ll recognise the vocal, no question this will be massive for the summer of 2019."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 35:23 mins here.
