Las Cabezas is a brand new collaboration from 2 dance music stalwarts who have been contributing to the scene for decades – Neil Hinde (formerly of Lisa Marie Experience) and Leiam Sullivan (Max Linen). The first fruits of their combined talent comes by the way of 2 quirky dance-floor gems – ‘El Diablo Y Mi Nena’ and Bullit’ on Sandy Turnbull’s Galleria Records.
In order to promote the EP, “El Diablo Y Mi Nena“, the duo is here with a fantastic mix.
El Diablo Y Mi Nena
“El Diablo Y Mi Nena” is centred around an incessantly catchy woodwind hook that bobs and weaves over a brilliant live drum groove that will explode on both Electro Swing and House head dance floors alike. ‘Bullit’ is a Latin-tinged percussive burner, teased with woody beats and smoking with dramatic orchestrated brass stabs, adding a dazzling 60’s movie feel to shake things up a bit.
I came up with the idea of the tracks while travelling South America. I now live in Japan and while visiting my old home town of Sheffield I spoke to my longtime friend Leiam and Las Cabezas was born. – Neil Hinde
