Comment
"This week's Essential New Tune comes from Sydney-born, Berlin-based producer Samantha Poulter, aka Logic1000. This is a track from her new EP You've Got A Whole Night To Go due for release on her own label, Therapy, in January. She said of the track I wanted to create a mood that was hopeful for a brighter future. I look forward to playing this one at a festival setting, hoping to get everyone's hands in the air. Here it is, this week's ENT from another rising star Logic1000." 
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 34.35 here.
