Montreal DJ and producer Tiga co-founded the nightclub Sona and built Turbo Recordings into a home for electronic artists including Chromeo, Gesaffelstein and Azari & III.
Montreal raves and Turbo Recordings
In March 1993, Tiga helped organize Solstice alongside the Bus Company, G’nat and other members of Montreal’s rave scene. In an oral history of Montreal rave culture, he recalled booking Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva for the party.
From “Sunglasses at Night” to HOTLIFE
Tiga recorded “Sunglasses at Night” with Zyntherius and followed it with club records including “Pleasure from the Bass.” His work also spans a DJ-Kicks mix and remixes for LCD Soundsystem, Depeche Mode and Justice. On his album HOTLIFE, that intersection of pop songwriting and club production runs through tracks such as “Friction”. Explore his catalog at Secret City Records.
