It's only Tuesday, but for Tiger Stripes, every day is the weekend. You might have heard his track "Brr," which was one of THUMP's favorite cuts of 2015, and a certified summer anthem on Ibiza. Just last month, we premiered the slamming title track from Tiger Stripes' new EP, Body Shake. That track comes full circle, featured in this exclusive "Flash Workout Mix," which premieres today on THUMP.
The Swedish DJ and producer a.k.a. Mikael Nordgren leans towards a clean and functional sound with a penchant for catchy vocal samples, and tight, squared-off rhythms. Since you've already heard a few of Tiger Stripes' productions, this mix is the perfect primer for his DJ sets, where he regularly brings his jacked-up dancefloor energy to crowds around the world. Tiger Stripes wrote to THUMP about his idea behind the mix: "As a DJ my goal is always to make the party blossom. I want to see happy faces on the dance floor and lots of hands in the air. I also want to see the people getting deep into the grooves and just move to the rhythms. It's all about the music and throughout the night I like moving through the spectrum of both darker and more uplifting sounds. I do my best to entertain, no matter how big or small the dance floor is. I tried to make this studio mix in the same spirit as a night with me in the DJ booth and hopefully you will feel this is a night to remember."
