With output on Ubiquity, Wonderwheel and Razor-N-Tape, London’s Tigerbalm has truly come into her own production voice recently, bringing forth a colorful vision of tropical influences filtered through modern club sounds. With the Profunda Alma EP, the Tiger focusses her attention on Brazil, coaxing out two gorgeous original songs that pay homage to the sizable impact the country has had on her musical sensibilities.

Profunda Alma features the vocalist Joy Tyson (who appeared on Tigerbalm’s earlier Nina EP), and creates an atmosphere of deep emotional mystique through driving percussion, an insistent bassline and dramatic guitar stabs. Vem Cá goes for a more bouncey retro samba vibe and features the incredible vocals of João Selva, who delivers a hook that feels almost canonical, as if we’ve known it forever.

Ever consistent French producer Yuksek takes Vem Cá straight to the club with his remix, and London upstarts Make-A-Dance deliver two trippy dancefloor takes on the title track to make this record a powerful 5-tracker!

Tigerbalm - Profunda Alma (Make-A-Dance Tribal Dub)

Daryl Runswick - Boogie Takeover (Delfonic edit)

In 1981, Billy Noknees embarked on his most ambitious project yet: Gauntlets of Steel, an album intended to merge heavy metal imagery with his signature disco beats. Filled with warrior anthems, dark oaths, and sharp-edged themes, the album was a bold attempt to bring swords and spikes to the dancefloor. Unfortunately, it was also a prime example of Billy’s knack for turning even the simplest studio session into chaos.

The producer for the sessions, Rick "Chains" Hardsteel, was known for his love of theatrics and had been brought on to help Billy capture the epic, metallic tone he craved. However, things quickly derailed when the two started arguing—not over music, but over who could wear the most spikes and chains at once. Billy showed up to the studio each day with increasingly elaborate outfits, while Rick countered with his own over-the-top accessories. The competition escalated to absurd levels, culminating in a studio showdown where both men refused to record until one conceded defeat. Neither did.

Despite the drama, Gauntlets of Steel was completed—a surreal mix of disco beats layered with Billy’s fantastical metal-inspired lyrics. The tracklist itself reads like a playlist for a headbanger’s ball, yet each song brims with the unmistakable groove of OBIISSS:

01 Heart Unbroken 
02 Shadow Blade 
03 Legion of Steel Eternal 
04 Bridge of the Damned 
05 Spikes and Chains 
06 Warrior’s Oath
07 Gauntlets of Steel 
08 Warriors 
09 Wrath of the Betrayed 
10 Spikes and Motorbikes
11 Spikes and Chains (Reprise) 

While Billy was proud of his work, Gauntlets of Steel landed with a thud upon release. By 1981, metalheads rejected its disco leanings, and disco fans found the metal imagery bewildering. The producer, Rick Hardsteel, left the project halfway through after Billy accused him of wearing fake rubber spikes, though not before leaving his signature sound on the tracks.

The album was quietly self released in limited numbers, with most copies gathering dust in record store backrooms. It wasn’t until a box of unsold records was rediscovered in a Los Angeles thrift shop in 1999 that the album regained attention, celebrated as a cult curiosity for its audacious blend of genres.

Now, remastered with the magic of AI, Gauntlets of Steel is presented with its original sleeve—featuring Billy standing proud, in massive spikes. A mix of swords, synths, and defiant disco grooves, it’s a testament to Billy’s fearless creativity (and stubbornness).

Prepare to experience Gauntlets of Steel, where metal meets disco in the most gloriously absurd way imaginable!

Four floaty dubs & re-rubs from San Francisco's Ryan Bishop aka The Beat Broker (Bear Funk, Flexx, Adult Contemporary, etc).  Many heads probably best know Ryan as the brains behind DREAM CHIMNEY, one of the longest-running and most consistently interesting online hangouts for like-minded music freaks.

This 12" busts loose with "Satin Kimono," a funky floor-filler with the most perfect AOR song title in existence. "Make It Happen" cools the A-side down with a mellow yet uplifting soft rock groover; dubby voices beckon the listener to break free and never look back.

"Honey It's You" is a pumped up edit of an old 'Chimney classic and was crafted specifically as a wedding gift for fellow Dream Chimney member Hatchback - now available for the first time in a physical format!  "Larceny Dub" soars to new heights of AOR bliss, featuring an extensive re-working of a record that was passed along to Ryan by an ex-Deadhead neighbor.

This one is a nod to the craziest sounds diggers I know, Jeff & Aurel, aka French duo Get A Room!
A while ago, they resurrected "Sexy Thing", a 1978 gem from Bob McGilpin, editing it for one of their highly recommended "Dig Out Your Own Spade" compilations. Here is my House/Nudisco take.
