Ubiquity Records take on Tigerbalm as they reel under the tango, bango, mango, commando, wango tropical disco madness of 'Nayar'.



You'll remember Tigerbalm's album 'Profunda Alma'  on Razor-N-Tape that came out at the end of last year (see review HERE) as Nicola Robinson unleashed her Afro-Latin obession on the dancefloor

Ubiquity have previously released Tigerbalm's 'International Love Affair' album that attracted some name remixers like Chico Mann, Daniele Baldelli, Emperor Machine and Bustin' Loose (aka Tom Lilly at the Disco Express - see interview HERE) so they should know what they've let themselves in for?

But I'm not sure even Tigerbalm herself had some idea as our Londoner has caught the Italo-synth-wave house revival teaming up with Naples' Giorgio Lopez (like 'Mystic Jungle' see review HERE) with some J-pop vocal chorus.

Known for her "kaleidoscope of global influences", I'm not sure the remixes by Elado (turns up the synths), Bernado Pinheiro (adds some atmospheric Latin percussion from the rainforest, that could have gone more dubby) and Piek (mainroom Spanish house with disco lazers)

We're told this is a mere taster for Tigerbalm's next album, 'Bubblegum Discos' that's due out next years so we're likely to have these 4 versions of 'Mango-Bango' disco all summer long.
