DIRT 092EP
|
Time of Descent by Alex Krüger aka Tigerskin ranges from deep and tech house through techno, with influences from all over. "Faint (feat. Grambow) is a bright and soulful dancefloor gem of melodic Detroit-style house track. "Stay" is a subtle, classy deep house cut perfect for the early morning. "Descent" resides in more spacious territory, steady and deep with acid and techno undertones. Vinyl-only bonus track "This Place Is Empty Without You" is Tigerskin's biggest hit, originally released in 2012 as a digital offering.

After being the main artist on Dirt Crew Recordings for over seven years and with a staggering 13 EPs in that period either solo or with his buddy Till von Sein, the Berlin-based Alexander Krüger has finally concluded a full album for Dirt Crew. He is one of Germany's most consistent producers and has a huge release list on Discogs, ranging from the mid-'90s when he started out as Korsakow and Dub Taylor on classic labels such as Force Tracks, Müller, and Raum Musik, to date. It has also been nine years since his last real album on Resopal Schallware back in 2004. Dirt Crew has always wanted to complete a full album with Tigerskin, as most of his EPs were already small albums with track listings of an average six to seven tracks per EP. The output of this man is enormous, not only solo under his three monikers but also with fellow producers he works with, most prominent, the stuff he does with DJ Phonique. On this album you will find 14 tracks that reflect a broad variety of styles -- from the first few tracks that are more in the deep house direction, to the electro-esque and ambient middle part, to the banging techno ending of the last few tracks. Alexander Krüger shows us his universe of music and his love for many styles in electronic music. He also teamed up with some of his best friends and musical companions, such as Till von Sein, Ulrich Schnauss, and Eddie Richards, who all have been in the game for a long time and each of them stand respectively for a different sound in house, electronica, and techno. The Lazarusman, Sebastian Oehlschlegel, and Uffe are from the new breed of producers and vocalists with whom Tigerskin has been working in the last years. Enjoy what Tigerskin and his friends came up with.

FCL 078EP
|
German deep house producer Tigerskin on this rare Future Classic club 12". "Windfall" and "Lied" are killer non-linear batty disco-infused house jams that set dance floors alight while "Try the Impossible" and "In Public" are deeper jams for the more serious moments of club emotion.

AM 040EP
|
Tigerskin aka Alex Kruger presents one for Audiomatique which supports the techier, more intense end of his eclectic love of house and techno. "Everybody Likes Ollie" whirls and skips across a liquid platinum backdrop of silky-smooth grace and wonder. Part pumping house, part disco, part future-techno, it's a mind-blowing, anthemic track. "Carlswood" comes on strong like a techno classic with off-kilter FX, building slowly as momentous synths mark its incline -- a monster of the highest order.

BAAL 006EP
|
"Baalsaal welcomes Tigerskin's new EP Deep Contemplation. Despite the fact that Tigerskin aka Dub Taylor aka Korsakow has probably produced more than a few hundred successful tracks in the past and is the musical ear and hand behind well-known artists such as Phonique, he delivers his absolute best work for us, Baalsaal, the new sophisticated label, the public transport of emotions. On side A, you'll find a deep house groove by the name of 'Deep Contemplation.' Wide pads, stacky chords, deep vibes and soulful rhythms accompany this beautiful club track. What makes the difference, though, to all other house tracks at the moment who also use chords and deep vibes, is the incredible use of the main melody. Guaranteed to be a big winner on the fucking floor. On the flip side, Alex puts in the reverse gear and drops this melancholic and intensively emotional track. Starting with a beautiful pad, it emerges into a Detroit-ish bomb -- keeping the positive vibe alive at all times with its piano hits. Just close your eyes and let it take you wherever you wanna go! This release shows how diverse Tigerskin is."

DIRT 029EP

Tigerskin follows up his massive hit record Peter's Secret Weapon with this exciting 12", Bordeaux. It's a genre-breaking deep tech-house mover with a great vocal and spacious analog sound excursions. The other side is "Platin," a minimal track as only Alex Krüger can make 'em -- sheer power, with a magical breakdown in the middle that will have the crowds screaming for more.

DIRT 025EP

Alex Krueger follows up his excellent Push The Patton 12" with an absolute minimal killer with three quality tracks that were produced with analog equipment only. The title track is a warm and reduced builder with a devastating guitar breakdown. "Wanted" is a typical Tigerskin rave anthem --pure power on the dancefloor. The last track is more funky and has a great electro groove to it, featuring a beautiful break with great analog sounds.

DIRT 019EP

Tigerskin is back on Dirt Crew Recordings with a minimal smasher. "Push the Patton" is another outstanding track by Alex Krueger with his typical phat production and great building arrangement. Also, "As We Are" shows Tigerskin heading into the techier side of things with its cool vocal sample. "The Meadow" is a beautiful house cut and sounds very similar to his other great output as Dub Taylor. For afterhours or peaktime, this new Tigerskin release will do the job for sure.

OPSM 005EP

"There's not much left to say about the multiply-talented personality Alex Krüger. Dub Taylor, Tigerskin or Korsakow -- as a manifold producer he's literally rented the funk. 'Desperate Mouselives' is a hymn on the small life which never gets any bigger just because we'll be growing a bit older than a small rodent's life. Basically we share the exact same destiny. We go in the first round and start off totally funky -- and believe that it won't ever change. Well, it doesn't, kind of. Except for the fact that some of us suddenly become aware of their shockingly sparse timeframe on this planet -- and begin to rave their butts off. For them, for others...to be honest: sometimes to become desperate a bit, but still pretty wicked, isn't it?"
