Tiga

Montreal electro and techno pioneer, Turbo Recordings founder, and deadpan dancefloor icon.

Tiga is a globally renowned DJ, producer, and the creative force behind Turbo Recordings, hailing from Montreal, Canada. Emerging from the city's early 1990s underground where he co-founded the legendary afterhours club Sona, he has spent decades shaping the intersection of stark techno, campy electro, and polished electronic pop. He broke through internationally with his 2001 electroclash cover of "Sunglasses at Night" alongside Jori Hulkkonen, later cementing his legacy with signature club anthems like "Pleasure From the Bass" and his 2013 Audion collaboration "Let's Go Dancing." As a collaborator, he has worked extensively with heavyweights like Soulwax, Hudson Mohawke, and Boys Noize, and he regularly performs at premier global stages including Sónar Festival, Berghain, and Coachella. Following a lengthy gap between solo albums, he returned in 2026 with his fourth studio project, Hotlife, featuring singles like "Silk Scarf" and "Hot Wife." Balancing deadpan charisma with muscular club rhythms, Tiga remains a master of reinvention who consistently bridges the gap between underground purism and accessible dancefloor euphoria.
