Comment
This is the second Essential New Tune that’s come from the Renaissance anniversary project. The legendary club from the Midlands has gone about curating some pretty staggering remixes of some classic electronic tunes. A few months back we awarded the Tale Of Us remix of Cafe del Mar by Energy 52 and this week it’s going in the direction of Vangelis and Maceo Plex’s quite incredible reinterpretation of the Blade Runner theme.
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen here.
