Steadily growing it presence in India, the Dutch-born beer brand Heineken has been stepping up its activities, in line with the brand’s spirit and positioning, Open Your World. Continuing its long standing association with music, the second edition of the Heineken Green Room showcased the enigmatic and secretive disco-duo: Tiger & Woods. These exclusive and intimate events feature fresh acts and sounds from around the world and with a point-of-view to match. The Heineken Green Room – 2 was held in New Delhi at Lap, Hotel Samrat, Chanakyapuri on Friday. The mood was upbeat and Tiger & Woods, left the audience spell bound with their music.

Far from the frantic nature of commercial beats occupying the ‘EDM’ charts, Tiger & Woods’ music features a happy uplifting sentiment missing in the dance music scene – soul.  Known as disco heroes with their 80s inspired super loops and diva house vocals that seem to permeate from one tract to another, their sound is a textural delight that left the audience in New Delhi, asking for more! Very little is known about the Italian duo Larry Tiger and David Woods, the producer/DJ duo behind Tiger & Woods. And they like to keep it that way. They give few interviews, are mostly hidden behind their signature masks / low hats and don’t even have a Wikipedia or a Twitter page. But this hasn’t stopped them from attaining disco demi – god status for their smooth, hyper – looped and glittery disco sound. You can define their musical genre as re-edit disco with hints of boogie and tech house elements. Keeping that old school disco vibe but with a fresh new sound leaving their listeners in a state of epic euphoria.

An integral part of the Heineken Green Room is the Green Room Session that precedes the party. The session held earlier in the afternoon, saw Tiger & Woods engage with the audience on ‘Is anonymity the new startdom?’ Tiger & Woods tackled all sorts of questions on image, stardom and its relationship with music as a whole. The questions were meant to start a timely conversation about the importance of quality music while adding meaning and depth to Heineken’s association with music.

Enjoying the Heineken experience, Samar Singh Sheikhawat, Senior V.P. (Marketing), United Breweries Ltd. said, “Heineken Green Room brings together unconventional artists in special venues for musical experiences that aim to be different, from the usual party clichés. Apart from bringing in musicians and DJs that have never played in India, the idea of the Heineken Green Room is to make them social, contagious music experiences that travel well beyond the four walls of the Green Room. Known for their anonymity and loop – friendly funk – house aesthetic, the selection of Tiger & Woods fits in well with Heineken’s Open Your World proposition, and makes them perfect candidates to forge a meaningful relationship with the Heineken consumer”.
