With The Tiger, Matias Aguayo returns to Kompakt with his first EP for the label since 2014’s Legende. Since then, he’s been busy with all manner of experiments and explorations – a monthly radio show on Worldwide FM, 2019’s Support Alien Invasion; the essential El Rudo Del House series; an album on Crammed Discs with his group The Desdemonas; collaborations with Sano and Gladkazuka (as Rionegro), DJ Spoko, Mujaji, Julianna, a new trio with DJs Pareja, named MDM Factory, and the latest offering on his Cómeme imprint, El Cameron featuring Ricardo Villalobos. But something special happens when Aguayo returns to the mothership, as though he’s reconnecting with something essential: “pop melancholy is just right there,” he says.

On The Tiger, Aguayo is in touch with the core of the flame, the music that’s at the centre of his being. While most of the music may have originated “in the foggy Mexican forest,” he’s sure that the EP is “still a Cologne record,” something you can hear as soon as the prowling bass, shuffling rhythms and ghostly voices of the title track lope stealthily into earshot. The titular character is caught up in the sensuous tangle of the night, that space between dusk’s delirium and dawn’s dreaming. Aguayo sings, “Do you see the same I see? Are we having the same dream?” – here, he’s picturing an after-hours revelation, “on a warm muggy night with all sorts of background noise from various nightwalking animals – but at the same time, I was a city dweller stranded in the jungle, who still dressed like he was about to go to the disco.”

The ascending, ever-circling bass of “Nightshift, The Red” tells another story, a spiralling mantra that’s hypnotically psychedelic, yet elegant, refined, filled with sonic textures you can almost reach out and touch, like knotted twists of exotic fabric. “The lyrics are very associative and somewhere between urban and jungle nightlife,” Aguayo mentions, “fireflies shine, but also the reflections of the disco ball.” “Show Me What You’re Feeling” takes us back to the 1990s, with Aguayo re-working some vocal and lyrical fragments from three decades ago, its beautiful uncertainty remarkable in what Aguayo calls its “extremely emotional openness”. Dappled with melancholy, it’s a lover’s hymn to intimacy and vulnerability.

Aguayo signs off The Tiger with “El Propio Propio”, a celebratory ending to an EP that’s rich and complex, full of lovely musical moments – the tender melodies woven through “Show Me What You’re Feeling”; the warping, pliable, plastic textures that Aguayo crumples and crinkles through “El Propio Propio”. Like much of Aguayo’s music, The Tiger highlights the senses, to advance a new sensibility, one that inhabits a fever-dream of hints and clues, a mystery that’s solved by the deep, dark sensuality of the rhythms here, fully in love with the nightlife. It finds its exoticism in unexpected moments, sideways glances, surprising twists and turns. After all, as Aguayo says, “moths are far more glamorous and mysterious than butterflies.”

Full release info:
Kasper Bjørke is poised to return with his exquisite new album, 'After Forever', which is already tipped as the Danish producer's boldest and most elegant statement to date, with Clash Magazine laying down these words: 'Kasper Bjørke definitely makes art. Each production feels assured with the Scandinavian impacting a genuine sense of the cerebral into his music.'

The scene for 'After Forever' has been set by two EPs: 'Rush' featuring Tobias Buch, 'Sylvia' featuring CTM, and now the third installment 'TNR', which reveals another exciting collaboration with recent Domino Records and Beats In Space signing Jaakko Eino Kalevi. Jaako is an 'orignal weirdo, songwriter, crooner, analogue lover and a blessed lyricist'. According to The Guardian he is 'the most impressive 'rock'n'roll' artist with an alternate simultaneous 'proper' job that we've heard of since Vic Godard the post-punk postman. The Finnish 29-year-old has been releasing records back home, while being a tram driver in Helsinki. '

Chiming with effervescent synths, melodic flourishes and crisp, rough-hewn beats, 'TNR' is a poignant post-disco beauty, and now comes accompanied with a trio of standout remixes:

Kompakt stalwart Superpitcher leads the charge, with a double whammy of reworks that apply his killer pop instincts to the mix. His 'Chapter A Remix' zeros in on the track’s 'last days of disco' feel, with a down tempo treatment of retro hypnotism, punctuated with the classic Superpitcher beat.

His 'Chapter B Remix' then functions like a disco dub, bringing conga percussion and shakers to the forefront with an extra dose of swing, leading towards a wall of synth sound at the track's end.
Kasper's own '20 Weeks Rework' completes the circle of this trio of interpretations, pointing the spotlight towards the lightfilled synths, guitar licks and the touching, melancholic pop vocals over an almost urban beat.

The stunning lo-fi hand animated musicvideo accompaniment from Netherlands' Alpaca Animations that will premiere around the releasedate of the single, is a perfect visualization of the feeling evoked by the short and simple lyrical hook: 'Times New Roman, Times of Love / I Want To Go Into The Deeper Shadows.'
