Pre-Order: Tiger Stripes - Tiger Never Loses Its Stripes (Part 3) [12" Vinyl]

Sweden's Tiger Stripes unveils the third and final installment of his 'A Tiger Never Loses It's Stripes' EP, ahead of the release of his album of the same name on 4th December 2026. The series has already won a huge response from DJs including Laurent Garnier, DJ Minx, Paula Tape, CHRIS STASSY, and more.Tiger Stripes' part three of 'A Tiger Never Loses It's Stripes' opens with 'Fire Eater', a feathery groove that sways back and forth, with a warm bassline holding it up and the drums skipping lightly on top. It's a low-slung but pressurized cut, with silky chords and a soulful vocal that finishes it with style. 'All Systems Go' is another dreamy house floater with soft drums and suspensory pads, with a filtered, dehumanized vocal encouraging you to dance. There is a soulful slide and funky break to the drums of 'Sonore de Lettres', complete with a knotty bassline, loopy chords, whistles, and more playful voices, before 'The Wetdown' kicks up a gear with a more driving groove, but still plenty of human heat in the pads and dusty in the drums. It's another Tiger Stripes masterclass in smart sampling and rhythmic invention. Tiger Stripes made his debut on Matt Edwards' Rekids label with his 'I Heard It Through The Bassline' EP back in 2024. It was the latest in a long line of releases from the Stockholm-based Mikael Nordgren. He has played the world many times over the last two decades and is adept in the studio at deep techno, futuristic tech, and plenty in between. He has collaborated with many influential artists on a wide range of tasteful labels and now teases this new artist album with four more tracks.
