Comment
If you really switched on to what's being released this week, you might've guessed that this week's Essential New Tune is going in the direction of Liverpool, why not? They are European champions. We're talking about Dave Whelan and Mike Di Scala better known as CamelPhat, all set for a monstrous season at Hi in Ibiza on Tuesdays alongside Solardo and FISHER. If you've seen them play anywhere during the last few months, you would've heard this already. It's already been on Annie's Hottest this week, I'm pleased to bring it for you again right now on a Friday night. This is Be Someone featuring Jake Bugg, this week's Essential New Tune from CamelPhat.
