TIGA (Turbo Recordings, CA)
Based in Montreal, Tiga is a DJ/producer who has effectively worked the underground and the mainstream with his wry brand of campy electro and stark techno. Tiga’s first exposure to his future came from touring the Goa area of India with his DJ father throughout the ’80s. Following in his father’s footsteps, Tiga began spinning in Montreal’s cooler clubs in the early ’90s, bringing the acid house sound to Canada. In 1998 he set-up his own label Turbo Recordings, and has come a long way since. Turbo has released over 20 albums, with a handful of the scene’s finest artists releasing on the Montreal based label. Boys Noize, Proxy, Zombie Nation, 2manydjs, Felix Da Housecat, Erol Alkan & Chromeo have all has successful releases on Turbo. Tiga also has released under the monikers of ZZT (with Zombie Nation) and TGV (with Mateo Murphy).
In 2001 Tiga entered the studio with producer Zyntherius “Jori” Hulkonnen and a singular vision: “electro, but mainly about my eyes.” This resulted in the track that catapulted Tiga to superstar status, the remix of Corey Hart’s ‘Sunglasses at Night’. Tiga went on to release 2 full length albums, Sexor and Ciao! The Canadian legend is widely known for his remixes: Tomas Andersson’s “Washing Up”, Scissor Sisters’ “Comfortably Numb”, Jamie Lidell’s “Telephone” and Felix da Housecat’s “Madame Hollywood” but also for his covers of Nelly’s “Hot in Here”.
