Anglo-French Duo Takes a Detour from Melancholy Toward Resilience and Rallying Optimism
Out 13th November 2026
+ Terence Fixmer Remix Out 27th November 2026
+ Follows “Upgrade (Body Hook Remix)” and Debut London Show
LONDON – Anglo-French electronic duo Cut Face release “Tomorrow’s Echo”, out 13th November 2026. Taking a short detour from their usual sombre sound and melancholy, the duo deliver a percussive, driven manifesto built on a straighter beat. It is a rare moment of optimism from a project that has built its reputation on darker terrain.
The Single: Keep Going
Already a highlight of the band’s live set, “Tomorrow’s Echo” sees Body Hook join Tacita Grace on selected vocal passages, adding a collective, almost rallying quality to the track. There is a rebel, riotous feel to it, but beneath the defiance lies a determination to keep moving forward.
Lines such as “Feel like shit but I keep going” and “Done with losing, only winning” are repeated like underdog mantras, where resilience turns into a glimmer of light across the track’s dark, tense electronic canvas.
Tacita Grace explains: “At the moment everything might not be quite right, but better days are ahead. Tomorrow is another day, so just keep going. It was a bit of a difficult exercise to write something optimistic, but it’s repeated like a manifestation of hope for the future.”
Origins: Nostalgia and Light
Body Hook was inspired by a tune in the film Maxxxine, working with a SH-101 and banging drums. “I wanted to create a nostalgic feeling,” he says. “Tacita managed to bring some light into that dark mood.”
Terence Fixmer Remix: Two Generations, One Pulse
Out 27th November 2026, the Terence Fixmer remix brings two generations of electronic music together. For over two decades, Fixmer has forged a singular path through techno and EBM, from early releases on DJ Hell’s International Deejay Gigolos to Fixmer/McCarthy with Nitzer Ebb’s Douglas McCarthy, releases on Ostgut Ton and Mute, and remixes for Depeche Mode, Boys Noize, Dave Clarke, Front 242, and DJ Hell.
Rather than a trip down memory lane, his remix channels saturated synths, slapping EBM beats, and a threatening industrial edge against Cut Face’s stubbornly hopeful vocal mantras. The result keeps the integrity and physicality of Fixmer’s sound while giving the track’s message of resilience a darker, harder-hitting frame.
About Cut Face
Cut Face is the collision of two distinct worlds: Body Hook, an established French producer supported by Four Tet, Special Request, and Annie Mac, and Tacita Grace, a classically trained British vocalist forged in the UK drum and bass scene. Their debut EP ‘You’ll Never Get The Same Moment Twice’ (May 2026) received support from BBC 6 Music, KEXP, and KCRW, and Steve Lamacq described its music as “like a game of hopscotch through advancing dance genres.”
Their previous release, “Upgrade (Body Hook Remix)”, preceded their first ever London performance at Village Underground, opening for 1-800 GIRLS.
