TUNE OF THE MONTH
Cute Heels 'Third Skin' (Dark Entity)
We’ve kept an eye on Colombian producer Cute Heels ever since his track ‘Silence Complot’ was the highlight of a Helena Hauff set we saw at Brickworks in Nottingham. His ‘Third Skin’ EP is full of the same kind of nostalgia-flecked electro, with the title track standing out as a pulsating, venomous cut aimed at the floor. ‘Lipstick Information’ is more Italo-infused, yet still hammers home. And as for remixes of the title track? Steffi and our favourite The Hacker have more than got those covered. Exceptional.
