Cuba Is The Shared Vision Of Two Elusive Reclusive Individuals - Ashley Bates And Christopher Andrews Whose Operations Invade Both Domestic And Public Environments. Thus Far The Pair Have Devised A Series Of Three 12-Inch Discs - Two Self-Financed Projects "Havana" B/w "Hot Shit" And "Fiery Cross" B/W "Foxy's Den" Which Were Quickly Followed By The More High-Profile Metropolitan Concept Piece "Urban Light".
