Hailing from an isolated city in Bohemia, but based in Berlin for more than a decade, Tigerhead presents her BPitch debut – Please Remain Calm.
Listen Track Premiere Here:
Having built a steady reputation over the past few years with appearances on various beloved techno labels and gigs in some of the most respected clubs and festivals on the planet, Tigerhead has found her sonic niche, driven by an obsession with digging for hidden treasures, and underpinned by a deep musicality fostered over time as a musician, vocalist, DJ, and producer. In dealing with the more abstract corners of electronic music, she has harnessed an ear to create unconventional, boundary-pushing sounds without losing sight of the groove. For this EP she explores the more sensual realms of techno, carving out new aesthetics that teeter between hard techno beats and hedonistic vocals. All the vocals are her own, and were recorded in single takes to capture authentic expressions in the moment.
Across three tracks, Tigerhead ventures into varying forms of psytrance-influenced, dancefloor-driven techno, playing with references to genres governed by an innate curiosity and a tripped-out mentality. ‘I Know I’m Not A Stranger’ dives straight into the acid world with spiralling basslines offset against softly spoken word – a strange and fitting entry to Tigerhead’s sonic playground. ‘I Like Him’ turns things up a notch, getting faster and harder for the peak time slot with a barrage of hammerdrill hihats and frenetic bells. Rounding things off is ‘Psy Party’, an aptly titled voyage into heavy drums and uncanny echoes that retains an unrelenting tension right to the last drop.
The juxtapositions that sit throughout Tigerhead’s productions build a unique picture of her artistic world, strongly influenced by underground subcultures, but with a keen ear for her own sonic blueprint. As such, Please Remain Calm is as esoteric as it is fun.
