Pete Tong's Essential New Tune
Gold Teeth
Tunnelvisions
Disco Halal
out now
Comment
"This week's ENT is a desperate attempt to keep those summer vibes going and is brand new from Tunnelvisions. A couple of months ago they dropped an awesome EP on Solomun's Diynamic label and we featured many tracks from that. This is a slight switch up of style as they go for a release on Moscoman's Disco Halal label. This is called Gold Teeth and we think it is a magnificent way to close out the summer."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 31.17 here.
