Tentaciones Magazine May, 2004 “Boutique” stands out for its colorful and brilliant music. In fact, “Boutique” is a type of auditory addiction, because once you listen to it, you’ll find out it’s very difficult to put down. An aphrodisiac? Hallucinating? Hypnotizing? Yes, yes and totally yes... “

For their debut full-length, the Cools invite dance- floor types to take it down just a notch and luxuriate in sensual, uber-stylish chilled house grooves.
