Touche
She's At The Club

Southern Fried

WE SAY

The excellent Annie Mac has been suporting this on her new-ish Radio 1 show and it's easy to see why. Full of energy, it really deserves way more than its midweek position, so we're happy to be able to bring it to the attention of the ears that matter. You'll at least know ex- Wiseguy Touché from Ohh La La, exploited by Budweiser, but he's very much carving his own niche with solo projects.
