About this item

Tiger & Woods return to the clubs yields more sonic fruits from their musical orchard.

"Fake U" kicks off with their trademark cut-n-loop aesthetic sounding remarkably like two other chop-house superstars: Cassius and Soundstream - with funky licks, disco drums and party energy coursing through its edits. "Do It Do Me" ups the anti with added compression and wild filter usage; again not a million miles away from the cult collected Soundstream tracks of yesterday; with some extra fancy breakdown and FX usage to please the modern connoisseur.

Onto side B and "Silly Little Games" employs an army of Daft Punk-era squelches and synth licks to another electro-disco groove for a nice mid-session burner that'll have bodies gyrating nicely. "Wild Stream" concludes with possibly the tightest and snappiest chops and cuts across the 12"'; a highly distilled example of the duo's winning formular that'll keep the post 3AM crowd wiggling manically into the morning sun. Top stuff as always from the iconic pair... 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Tiger & Woods hit the greens again, with a uptempo and characterful EP which I have to say reminds me a lot of Soundstream / Soundhack from years ago. That ain't a bad thing - and Tiger & Woods more than do the blueprint justice, four cut-n-splice sample-house future classics to have you gyrating on the floor come the early hours.
