In typically thrilling form, Tiger Stripes returns for his annual outing on Drumcode. 

His ‘Rocket’ EP was conceived during the pandemic as the Swede busied himself with paternity leave and taking care of his little tiger. During these fulfilling stretches of time, the pair immersed themselves in everything from Aphex Twin to Kelly Lee Owens and Yazoo, while at other times the Spotify playlists Electronic Rising and Altar would frequently soundtrack their playtime. The producer took this spirit with him into the studio, aiming to harness the positive energy of his reference points and combine it with his signature brand of multi-faceted techno. 

The EP opens with the title track, marked with a distinct UK flavour and packed full of late ‘90s dance energy. Its uplifting chord progression and tidy breakbeat interlude imbue it with plenty of warmth and colour. ‘Fire’ is a sharp attitude-fuelled cut driven by a heavy bottom-end and zippy percussion, while a bad arse hoover dominates proceedings. The muscular ‘Your Love’ is comprised of multi-layered bass stabs and catchy vocal licks, which combine for an arresting finish. ‘Song for Debbie’ rounds out the package, a marriage of dream pop and woozy late-night techno. This is Tiger Stripes at his transcendent best.

I am 45 years old and live in Iran and work for myself and love music and make music by myself and mix and mastering (thanks for your comments)

I’m all about mixing trancy, vibey sounds while keeping that vibe alive. I love blending chill, hypnotic melodies with deep, energetic beats that just take you to another place. Every track is made to keep that perfect balance, where the energy and atmosphere just flow together. Thanks for listening and vibing with me on this journey!

BIOGRAPHY:
I discovered my passion for Electronic Dance Music (EDM) back in the 1990s and it has remained with me ever since. I consider myself a "hobby DJ" because I find DJing to be a great and enjoyable interest. For me, it’s really all about being creative. With bedroom DJing, I feel I can be a lot more creative in my mixes and explore my love for music. I understand that most DJs dream of performing in front of a crowd, controlling the vibe, and getting everyone moving. However, that’s not for everyone, including me. I enjoy listening to music and sharing the songs I love on social media. 

Keep spinning those tracks, DJs, and spread the love of music!
