Past FREAKS ONLY guest Nikki Nair momentarily abandons his trademark abrasive breakbeats to take a turn for the ultra-smooth on new single “Can’t Wait.” Hear this new direction for yourself in this installment of FO. We’re also still loving De Lux’s latest opus “Love Is Hard Work” and we’ve cued up side A for you once again. Plus, we’re still the only place to hear Tolliver’s latest single “Jimmy,” and we’re taking a deeper dive into Avalon Emerson’s chart topping LP & The Charm.
