Tiger Stripes 'Rocket' EP was conceived during the pandemic as the Swede busied himself with paternity leave and taking care of his little tiger. During these fulfilling stretches of time, the pair immersed themselves in everything from Aphex Twin to Kelly Lee Owens and Yazoo, while at other times the Spotify playlists Electronic Rising and Altar would frequently soundtrack their playtime. The producer took this spirit with him into the studio, aiming to harness the positive energy of his reference points and combine it with his signature brand of multi-faceted techno. The EP opens with the title track, marked with a distinct UK flavor and packed full of late '90s dance energy. It's uplifting chord progression and tidy breakbeat interlude imbue it with plenty of warmth and colour. 'Fire' is a sharp attitude-fuelled cut driven by a heavy bottom-end and zippy percussion, while a bad arse hoover dominates proceedings. On the B side the muscular 'Your Love' is comprised of multi-layered bass stabs and catchy vocal licks, which combine for an arresting finish. 'Song for Debbie' rounds out the package, a marriage of dream pop and woozy late-night techno. This is Tiger Stripes at his transcendent best.
