International Love Affair - LP

Vinyl LP pressing. Some artists strive for years to develop a distinctive trademark sound, stumbling between projects while trying to find their voice. It's not an accusation you could level at rising star Rose Robinson, whose Tigerbalm releases are infused with a trademark sound that's alight with infectious (and often thrillingly percussive) rhythms, vivid aural colour and nods to a dizzying array of sounds and styles from around the World. It's this hard-to-pigeonhole personal style, allied with an instinctive grasp of what works on the dancefloor - a by-product of over a decade spent DJing around her home city of London and well beyond - that's at the heart of Robinson's first Tigerbalm release for Ubiquity Records, 'Kete', and the subsequent single and debut album that will follow later in the autumn.
