Editor's note

Tiga's off-center mix of punk and techno

A Montreal DJ-producer who made club staples like 'You Gonna Want Me' and kept his sound a bit weird.

For a good frame, try 'You Gonna Want Me' and 'Sunglasses At Night'. They're the club staples that still sound like him.

Tiga's music never quite fit the usual electronic categories. Tracks like 'High School' and 'The Ballad of Sexor' have that rock energy mixed with dancefloor rhythms. He got remixes from people like Richie Hawtin, but the sound always felt like his own thing.

He started putting out records in the late 1990s, pulling from punk and new wave. The self-titled debut came in 2001, then albums like 'Sexor' and 'Ciao!' through the 2000s, with 'No Fantasy Required' arriving in 2016.

Archive material and source history

Tiga Sontag started putting out records in the late 1990s, pulling from punk and new wave as much as from techno. His self-titled debut album arrived in 2001, and the single 'You Gonna Want Me' got played everywhere for a while.

He kept making albums like 'Sexor' and 'Ciao!' through the 2000s, and later 'No Fantasy Required' in 2016. Other tracks like 'Sunglasses At Night' and 'Shoes' became staples in clubs. He worked with people like Soulwax and Jori Hulkkonen along the way.

Some of his music got remixed by producers such as Richie Hawtin and Carl Craig. The sound was always a bit off-center, mixing rock energy with electronic rhythms in a way that felt like his own thing.
