Tigerbalm Profunda Alma

With output on Ubiquity, Wonderwheel, and Razor-N-Tape, London's Tigerbalm has truly come into her own production voice recently, bringing forth a colorful vision of tropical influences filtered through modern club sounds. With the 'Profunda Alma' EP, the Tiger focuses her attention on Brazil, coaxing out two gorgeous original songs that pay homage to the sizable impact the country has had on her musical sensibilities. 'Profunda Alma' features the vocalist Joy Tyson (who appeared on Tigerbalm's earlier 'Nina' EP), and creates an atmosphere of deep emotional mystique through driving percussion, an insistent bassline and dramatic guitar stabs. 'Vem Ca' goes for a more bouncy retro samba vibe and features the incredible vocals of Joao Selva, who delivers a hook that feels almost canonical, as if we've known it forever. Ever consistent French producer Yuksek takes 'Vem Ca' straight to the club with his remix, and London upstarts Make-A-Dance deliver two trippy dancefloor takes on the title track to make this record a powerful 5-tracker!
