Looking to the future while digging in the past Tiger & Woods use both recognizable and exotic sources supplemented with original production to take you to undiscovered terrains that somehow feel like home.
The tale of how they met is almost as absurd as their pseudonym: one day in a fairly dusty basement, digging for records, these two fine gentlemen nearly got into a fight over a nameless boogie record which is so rare that even the usual disco detectives hadn’t discovered it yet. Actually, they still haven’t. Without a name and only identified by a test pressing sticker dedicated to the NYC-disco-DJ-legend Walter “Hot Trix” Scott, the 72-year old owner of the record store accidentally placed the record on his belt-driven turntable. Turning their heads and smacking their lips, both Larry and David were so full of lust to get their hands on this precious relic that they rushed separately to the booth, waving their hard-earned cash in the air. Some Italian profanities and chest-beating later, they decided to buy the record together and take it to Tiger’s studio.
Unfortunately, the fruit of their labour never saw the light of day due to a hard drive crash but they kept on working and as they timidly presented their early works to a mutual friend (and avid record collector) he gasped: “This is what DJ Sneak should sound like today!”
Following 2010’s much-talked-about podcast mixed for Resident Advisor they made their live debut at Robert Johnson in Offenbach, Germany late October and have continued to tour throughout Europe and the UK and landing a spot at this year’s Sonar festival alongside Gerd Janson.
And as for the new album “… that cloak of anonymity might be lifted soon whether they like it or not, as the pair's debut album Through the Green … rocks … They'll be fully outted soon - with an album this good, the backstory can't help but see the light of day - but even without the anonymity, Tiger & Woods will be plenty spicy. ” - Resident Advisor
