About

Tiga, the Montreal-born DJ, producer, and electronic music icon, is a master of reinvention, blending wit, irreverence, and razor-sharp production into a career that has redefined dance music. With a sound that oscillates between sleazy electro, pulsating techno, and pop-infused house, Tiga has carved out a niche as both a provocateur and a pioneer. His music is a kaleidoscope of influences, from the raw energy of Detroit techno to the playful decadence of '80s synth-pop, all filtered through his unmistakable, tongue-in-cheek sensibility. Tiga first gained international attention with his 2006 debut album, *Sexor*, and its breakout hit "Sunglasses at Night," a reimagining of Corey Hart's '80s classic. This marked the beginning of a career defined by bold experimentation and a knack for turning the absurd into the anthemic. His 2016 album, *No Fantasy Required*, further cemented his status as a boundary-pushing artist, blending introspective themes with club-ready beats. Beyond his solo work, Tiga has collaborated with luminaries like Soulwax, Boys Noize, and Jori Hulkkonen, and his label Turbo Recordings has become a breeding ground for cutting-edge talent. His cultural impact lies in his ability to merge high art with hedonism, creating music that is as cerebral as it is danceable. Currently, Tiga continues to evolve, balancing his roles as a producer, label head, and global DJ. Recent projects include high-profile remixes and a steady stream of electrifying live performances, proving that his influence on electronic music remains as vital as ever.
