Following the release of his debut album Porcelain Orca Whales in January, up and coming Auckland electronic producer Leaping Tiger is appearing at the Leigh Sawmill Café for a celebratory launch party gig.
The 21-year-old says his style is to stack tracks and combine elements that traditionally don’t work together to create a unique hybrid of electronica, alternative, hip-hop and R&B.
Porcelain Orca Whales is the second project from Leaping Tiger, following the release of his debut EP, Cool Down, in 2018. He says taking the step to making a full length, 10-track album was a natural progression.
“After realising I had a few tracks that worked really well together, I decided to just go for it and work towards a full album,” he says. “The album took quite a while to make just to make everything as good as I could get it to be.”
Leaping Tiger will appear at the Sawmill Café on Saturday, February 22 at 9.30pm, with support from PollyHill and Dropkicks. Tickets cost $10 plus booking fee from undertheradar.co.nz or $15 on the door.
