Back in the early 1990s, if you wanted to prolong a chemically-induced high, it was the custom among a certain class of clubber to rub some Tiger Balm on the temples, for an extra rush. Over the years, this practice has sadly fallen out of club fashion alongside Travel Fox, poppers and imbeciles dressing in day-glo colours. However, we are happy to report that Tigerbalm has returned, though this time in perfectly human form. We can also confidently state that listening to Tigerbalm, rather than rubbing her on your temples, will create an incredible natural high, thanks to her impeccable taste in music, her deck skills and not forgetting her always memorable method of dress.  Tigerbalm (Rose Robinson to her mum and dad) was born and raised in Herne Hill, in the badlands of south London and has been DJing professionally for ten years. She has a unique sound that gathers in African, Latin and various world influences and somehow makes them work in and alongside modern electronic music. “I’m passionate about sharing global music flavours,” she explains. “Musically, that can be anything from Italo-disco, French boogie, Afro-house, highlife, Brazilian funk or Asian-inspired edits. My favourite sounds are percussion heavy, heavily Afro-Latin, because the swing embodied in those sounds is what creates a happy dancefloor.”

Tigerbalm also makes music, too. In a previous incarnation, she was one half of Earthboogie, who were signed to the vaunted Leng label, releasing their debut LP, Human Call, in 2018, as well as a series of well-received EPs, including collaborations with Nina Miranda and Angelique Kidjo, which neatly demonstrate her love for the world musical diaspora. They were described as, “intergalactic, cosmic, tribal and terrestrial.” Hard to argue with that assessment.   Since the dissolution of Earthboogie, Robinson now uses the solo moniker of Tigerbalm. After her debut solo 12-inch, ‘Ello Koko’ on Leng caused enough of a stir for her to sign an album deal with Ubiquity, with the album – International Love Affair – due to drop late 2022, with a whole slew of killer remixes from the likes of Session Victim, Emperor Machine and Daniele Baldelli (a remix album is due out next year). The lead single, ‘Waiheke’ is due September, with remixes from Alma Negra and Demi Riquismo. She’s also been working upon a few remixes for other artists, including a sterling tribal space workout for William Orbit that has been beamed in straight from Planet Fun, a Cliff Colada remix on a forthcoming The Disco Express compilation and a brand new EP for Razor’N’Tape. Busy, busy.   As a DJ she is, indeed, a busy girl. Most weeks will find her either peaking scruffy basements full of dry ice and sweaty ravers or entertaining private members’ clubs with her extrovert sounds, gilded always with her unique world perspective. From Brixton to the world, via the five continents, ladies and gentlemen, meet Tigerbalm.

Tigerbalm Live @ Discoteca London

Rose Robinson, emerged in the early 1990s, where rubbing Tiger Balm on one's temples was a customary way to extend a chemically-induced high. Now returning in human form, Tigerbalm, hailing from  south London, has been a professional DJ many years, renowned for her eclectic sound blending African, Latin, and global influences with modern electronic music. Formerly one half of Earthboogie, she's now pursuing a solo career under the moniker Tigerbalm, signing with Ubiquity and set to release her debut album "International Love Affair" in 2022.

With a slew of remixes and collaborations under her belt, Tigerbalm is a bussssssseeee, bringing her global looking sound to audiences worldwide. This summer you can catch her at the most excellent intimate affairs that are Rotation Soundsytem and Campo Sancho. She also has a sterling remix of Pahua's Palanté ft. Acid Coco on Razor N' Tape out today too.

International Sounds 08 - Dicky Trisco [with Tigerbalm]

LENG SHOP - https://lengrecords.bandcamp.com/music

Riding a wave of critical praise and positive feedback for his most recent Emperor Machine album, the fabulous Island Boogie, Andrew Meecham returns with a typically wild and dancefloor-focused set of dubs, ‘versions’ and remixes.

According to Meecham, Island Boogie is his most personal set to date – a full-length excursion that not only delivers perfectly formed expressions of his dub-tinged, off-kilter synth-boogie sound, but also tracks that draw deeply on his earliest influences and long-held musical expressions.

It’s fitting, then, that this remix EP begins with his own sparse, stripped-back ‘version’ rework of ‘S-S-S-Single Bed’, a fine cover of the mid-80s Fox single featuring the vocals of Michelle Bee. Meecham’s dub-wise revision is a skeletal and driving affair, with snippets of echoing guitar, colourful synths and Bee’s distinctive vocalisations rising above a weighty dub disco bassline and rock-solid percussion.

It's followed by two revisions of album favourite ‘Wanna Pop With You’ from A Love From Outer Space main man Sean Johnston under his now familiar Hardway Brothers alias. Combining his own love of raw, analogue-sounding electronics and trippy dancefloor psychedelia with select elements of Meecham’s original – percussion, synth sounds, crisp guitar licks and elements of Séverine Mouletin’s lead vocals, Johnston’s main ‘remix’ is a weighty, mid-tempo treat. Arguably even better is his accompanying dub, which is more groove-and-effects focused and makes more of Meecham’s superb original bassline. It’s heavy, spaced-out and undeniably intoxicating.

To round off the package, long-time friend of the label (and sometime contributor) Rose Robinson dons her Tigerbalm pseudonym and gets to work on ‘La Cassette’. Brilliantly cutting up Séverine Mouletin’s vocals, she delivers a driving slab of spaced-out, synth-heavy dub disco that adds more weight and energy to Meecham’s original. It’s a fittingly on-point way to close out a superb selection of club-ready revisions.
