Tigerskin

Blasted Bitch / Mark Henning Rmx Tigerskin

ASD008 sees the return of Alex Krueger and a welcome one at that! This one’s 5 tracks deep (including a digital exclusive) and includes a pair of fine remixes from Londoner-in-Berlin, Mark Henning, “Blasted Bitch” is Tigerskin at his best. The title cut is a feast of sonic trickery, with sounds playing off each other beautifully to create a wide, dense soundscape which, paired with clipped percussion, clever dancefloor arrangement, evil laugh & crude vocal sample this one delivers tough. Henning, a man known for his abilities with sound design himself, takes a darker route with his interpretation which, while still driving, is more of a heads down late night affair – riddled with oddball delays and some unnerving vox efx. “What the” takes a turn to the darkside, moody, sharp, reveb laden and pulsing, the track is real heavy business watch out for that unholy Belgian hardcore synth riff a la “Mentasm”, there’s a real ‘moment’ in there. To round off the original cuts."Response” continues seeing Tigerskin provide a straighter groove but one which displays some sterling keyboard work and strong break. Finally, Henning provides another remix of the title track as the digital only addition all too important these days. Futuristic deep, tech-house is about as close as a description anyone needs for this superb final piece of an equally superb package.
