    New album: NOT A GAME

    The NOT A GAME album cover in all of it's c64 anti-AI glory

    Tiger Mendoza is proud to present our latest album NOT A GAME which will be coming out on Friday 24th October 2025. Coming in a tight 7 tracks, it’s our attempt to process what’s happening around us all touching on the unavoidable impact of AI, the increase in (mis)information, confusing fact with opinion and, obviously, a need to make beats.

    This is the first time that longtime TM member / ace guitarist Dan Clear has featured on all of the tracks of a TM release. Also we’re really happy to have our good friends Octavia Freud and Helen Pearson return to help out alongside Mark Restructure who you may remember from the TM remix of Restructure’s Antisocial Media which featured on TMSk8. The album also sees the return of original Tiger Mendoza singer Helena Markou for the first new track we’ve made together in over 10 years.

    Here’s the tracklist:

    1. The Puzzle Is The Point (feat. Digging The Greats)
    2. Conscious Of Time
    3. The Message Too (feat. Mark Restructure)
    4. Electric Blue (feat. Helena Markou)
    5. You’re Forgiven (feat. Octavia Freud)
    6. Stalagmite (feat. Helen Pearson)
    7. Anybody Can Make A Statement

    The deluxe Bandcamp edition also includes the following bonus tracks:

    1. Electric Blue (Instrumental)
    2. You’re Forgiven (Instrumental)
    3. Stalagmite (Instrumental)
    4. The Puzzle Is The Point (Pitchdrop Remix)

    The album is available to pre-order now on limited edition CD, Minidisc as well as standard digital download.

  • Merry New Year 2018/19!

    Merry New Year 2018/19!

    …or Compliments Of The Season as my family would say. I would normally do an end of year mix thingy and / or a free download but to be honest things have been a bit crazy in Mendoza land so unfortunately there’s no mix yet BUT I wanted to give you something so here’s a silly little beat I’ve been playing with.

    And just because a feel bad about not doing a mixtape this year, here’s a special playlist with some of my favourite tracks of the year. Who knows, I may turn it in to an actual mixtape in the new year.

    I’ve got to give a special mention to Laughing Lamb (aka Pete) who made one of my favourite albums of the year but hasn’t put it on Spotify. Listen / download on Bandcamp.

  • Mmmmmm…Mellotron…

    We’re putting together stuff for out next little ep / mini album and while I was going through some of my unfinished bits and pieces I found this little thing based around a loop I created using a Mellotron emulator:

    The thing is I don’t really know what to do with it so I’ve put the stems up on the net for people to do with as they wish.
