Under Tigerbalm, London producer Rose Robinson deals in the kind of dance music that seems permanently dusted with sea salt and condensation, every groove carrying the memory of another coastline. This second album moves through Brazilian disco, soca and Afro-boogie with the confidence of someone who has stopped worrying about proving their record collection credentials. 'Nayar' arrives in a rush of tumbling piano figures and lacquered percussion, while 'Vera En Paraty' unfurls with such easy elegance you can almost picture the open shutters and late-afternoon light it was made for. Best of all is 'Coco Makako', Robinson sounding charmingly unvarnished against a supple boogie rhythm that keeps threatening to wander off-course. By 'Afro Disco', all taut guitar chops and thick-bottomed bass pressure, the room has fully surrendered.
