Description
The origins of Montreal born DJ-producer-incipient Teutonic legend Tiga lie to the vague and troubling East, where he was weaned on the nefarious milk of the notorious 1980s Indian club scene. 2003 was the year that Tiga released his mix CD on !K7 for their DJ Kicks series. His take on Nelly's "Hot in Herre", released for the DJ Kicks compilation, became a huge success and resulted in it being licensed in the UK by Skint, as well as the GAS region by Warner Music. The video, which can be seen at http://www.eyeballnyc.com/tiga, features a sardonic view of the hip-hop world through some clever puppet wizardry from Tiga's brother, Thomas (aka Lord of the Marionette). Tiga has also lent his vocals to Richard X's debut album on a track titled "You (Better Let Me Love You X 4) Tonight". Most recently, Tiga has remixed Alex Kidd's "Come With Me", Neon Judgement's "TV Treated", Scissor Sister's cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb", Junior Jack (feat. Robert Smith)'s "Da Hype", and Peaches' "Shake Yer Dix". Already gaining massive rotation amongst club DJs, Tiga's latest single, "Pleasure from the Bass" is being released on the Belgian imprint PIAS. His first full-length original artist album is due within the year.
