The latest growth iteration of talented Johannesburg producer tiro! celebrates the showcasing of “Gymkhana” at Roses Are Red. Six wildly exciting new winners with diversity to reflect the scope of his output both past and future. It showcases an exercise in grabbing hold of your regrets and turning them into art. To embrace new worlds, new dimensions, directions and challenges. To shake the past from off your boots, find your tribe and just let go for once.
tiro!’s Gymkhana is here to hold your hand, whether you knew you needed it or not. And with it comes the chance to participate in the next step of an ever-fascinating personal journey, swerving through the smoothest, most rejuvenating edges of House music and life itself via six of the freshest necessities. It’s all the thrills of a new start. It’s taking its knocks and throwing itself into the next adventure with love. So, if you’re looking for that new path too, walk it with us and let the happy tears roll like bass lines into infinity.
“Soft Serv at the County Fair” is unassuming but playful; the perfect, tenderly psychedelic icebreaker. A rousing introduction you can only hope holds you in its enchanting rhythm forever. Or just until “For Drew” calmly begins to stir you with a mystic’s energy, expanding and contracting in its hypnotic ascending repetitions, the living, driving pulse oh-so-lightly shaking your bones. And it’s all in preparation for the entrancing “Bailando Con Mis Hombres” and how it reverberates through you like the giant pounding walls of some futuristic underground disco. Where flashing lights can reach into you and you move as one with those around you. With a remix by DJ Born Again Virgin that brings it up through the earth and into hyperspace to show us the highs and lows of cosmic travel. “Fresca’s” our return to just above the atmosphere – an idyllic cloud-riding trip over the grounds of House music heaven, with a party on the front lawn of the pearly gates at night. It’s a call to tomorrow’s greater days. You don’t have to stop dancing till you want to. At least not until “Hey” Fever’s final curtain call – at which, when you’re ready, we’ll tuck you in sweetly under the stars with a long drink in your hand and your good friends at Roses Are Red all around you, smiling wide.
