TIGA - Hotlife

Montreal icon Tiga is back from heaven with his fourth album, HOTLIFE, marking a new era in his immortal techno journey toward Absolute Brain Freedom. Featuring collaborators Boys Noize, Matthew Dear, Fcukers, MRD, Gesloten Cirkel, Paranoid London, Maara, and new hometown studio whiz-men Priori and Patrick Holland, HotLife finds Tiga at the pinnacle of Music Mountain, hurling infectious dancefloor lightning at listeners below: “When I turn on the Catharsis Machine," says the storied singer-producer, “It don’t matter if you’re a rich man or a poor man, ‘cause you’re about to be a free man…" Reclaiming his perch atop the celestial firmament of contemporary dance music was not without a compelling and relatable narrative arc. Following an arduous battle with a neurological condition he discovered and named “Vibe Fog," Tiga found himself at a crossroads: "At a certain point, it was either buy the exoskeleton and cash out my Virgin Megastore stock, or rebuild Tiga City from the ground up, brick by brick, gargoyle by gargoyle.” What has emerged is a Tiga that longtime Tiga-watchers are calling “angelic” and “terrifying,” resulting in an album that captures the distilled essence of a tastemaker pushed beyond all human limits. "My yes/no response time to artistic choices is off the charts,” adds Tiga. “We took each second shaved off every creative decision and reinvested it into the album’s runtime. 12 songs. 60 minutes. Remarkable.”
