BACK IN BLACK EP

Barcode: 5057272274696 A1 - Jack The Garage B1 - Back In Black One of Drumcode™s most indispensable talents, Tiger Stripes blesses us with another classy two-tracker. In the last 11 years Mikael Nordgren aka Tiger Stripes has appeared on Adam Beyer™s Drumcode and Truesoul labels a total of eight times. The Swede has a masterful command of his machines and is an inspired sound designer, imbuing his productions with bags of creativity and cross-genre futurism. His last outing on DC ˜Into Isolation™ was a colourful five-piece of super-charged techno, reinforcing the breadth and strength of his studio work. Nine months on, we have another offering to add to the canon. ˜Jack The Garage™ is a fast and furious leader, mixing up jacking dancefloor functionalism with raw and distorted sounds inspired by garage rock bands such as The 13 Floor Elevators and The Stooges. ˜Back in Black™ draws influence from unlikely sources, Nordgren mining latent inspiration from the smooth synthesized sounds of Travis Scott after his daughter introduced him to the hip-hop maestro. The resulting cut is a slick slice of electro-fuelled techno, with as many sides as a rubik cube, as bass stabs, muffled vocal effects and distorted guitar stabs keep things interesting throughout.
