Since the early years of our Label Tigerskin has been one of our most prominent artists. An integral part of Dirt Crew, he has over 15 releases on the label, either as solo artist or in collaboration with Till von Sein. He has put out some of his best tracks on the label, as well as his great album "All Those Goodbyes" two years ago.
With his new EP "Alex Krueger" shows his many talents in dance music and proves he is not a man of musical boundaries, it ranges from Deep and Tech House through to Techno, with influences from all over.
On the vinyl, "Faint feat. Grambow" is a bright and soulful dance floor gem, the melodic Detroit style house track is ripe with tuned percussion, electrifying drum motifs and a live key jam from feature artist Grambow. The A2, "Stay", is a subtle, classy, vocal deep house cut perfect for the early morning. The flip holds "Descent", which resides in more spacious territory, steady and deep with acid and techno undertones, and our very special vinyl only bonus track, Tigerskin's biggest hit, "This Place Is Empty Without You". This masterpiece was originally released back in 2012 as a digital offering, but we've had so many requests from fans over the years to press it on vinyl that we could not say no!
On the digital release we have two extra gems, "Hippies", heralding a propelling cinematic lead, supported by a huge bottom end for the dance floor, and "I Miss Chris", a high energy tech house bomb meets classic piano house jam, this track brings the heat in a big way.
Founded in 2004 by Dirt Crew in Berlin and subsequently building a big roster of artists with over 175 releases covering many different styles of electronic music these past 19 years.
