October VIBES

The Artist Concurrently Known As Jackmate has been already been indoctrinated into our cult since he signed onto he Pampa bookings roster awhile back. As SoulPhiction he is also co-founder of Philpot, the Stuttgart-based label, home to the majority of his releases over the past 10+ years. Anyway, we get the privilege of stamping the Turkey logo on SoulPhiction's first proper release of 2013, following his remixes for Murat Tepeli and Detroit Swindle. 'When Radio Was Boss' is a tribute to those magical electromagnetic waves that ruled yesteryear. With that prototypical Pampa percussion-rattling and clanking its way into the room-and a warm, round bassline bounce combined with some symphonic froth in the atmosphere, this track definitely demands airplay. On the dancefloor, at least! (And right in the middle of the track, catch the pleasantly jarring shout-out from WBAU, the call sign of the defunct New York radio station that counted members of Public Enemy and hosts of Yo! MTV Raps amongst its staff.) On the flip, the bpm gets cranked down just a bit for 'Maybachswagger"-If the A-side is a tribute to radio, the B has roller-skating on its mind. Starting out spooky with a sampled voice cooing over a slightly detuned bassline, the surprise comes in the final third, when a kawaii disco vibe drops in, seducing you onto the rink for a few laid-back laps.

Tiga asks that you finally return the favor by making him fall in love with the music with Make Me Fall In Love, the second single off his forthcoming full-length, No Fantasy Required which Annie Mac has premiered as a Hottest Record In The World. Featuring vocals by Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears and the production acumen of Martin Buttrich, the track dials the vibe machine to the deepest, sexiest, slinkiest Lover’s Esperanto, a universal plea to understand universality in all its forms, be they melodic, spiritual, or simply the lowdown dirty lust between people without public lives, private bathrooms, and the sort of iTunes playlists that clear you seven figures a year.

The single also features a “Tiga vs. Audion” pop version of the track, which sees the two frequent collaborators - and original co-writers of the song - fun-tune the proceedings in an open and honest attempt to conquer the radio charts, which Tiga is convinced still exist.

“This is my attempt to speak the language of the people, to read something more into their white-bread tastes and European-bread politics,” says Tiga from Downtown Planet Earth. “If you simply listen hard enough, you can hear whatever you want, and that’s good enough for me.”

There’s always been a fertile creative tension at the heart of Tiga’s music: on the one hand he’s the underground techno don, on the other, there’s a pop sensibility that enables him to write great songs. It’s this duality that makes him one of electronic music’s most engaging characters. He’s about as far from your faceless techno DJ as it’s possible to get.

In his illustrious career, he’s remixed LCD Soundsystem, Depeche Mode, Coldcut, The XX, Fever Ray and Moby, among many others. He has used his Turbo label to break new acts like Duke Dumont (first release), Chromeo, Gesaffelstein and Boyz Noize. In addition, he has frequently collaborated with luminaries such as James Murphy, Pusha Tand, on No Fantasy Required, Hudson Mohawke, Paranoid London and Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters. Now, working with key producer Matthew Dear, and Finnish wizard Jori Hulkkonen (who also performs with him live), 

No Fantasy Required (from which Make Me Me Fall In Love is taken) is a collection of inspired songs that just happen to be delivered via visceral dance music. Tiga has made a record on which he says he feels “more honest, open and playful.” It’s an album with songs and real character, one also packed with instant bangers.  No fantasy is required both because this is an honest, open, playful record and also because it provides all the fantasy you could need.

Ok this is an old story that started as a bootleg edit while back. I remember that as soon as I uploaded the edit on soundcloud I got so many reactions I decided to take it offline immediately and put it out on 12" (200 copies only, but then the bootleg got bootlegged, crazy...) But it never got a proper "clean" release, although we tried hard to clear it.
So, after replaying everything (thanks to Silver City, Sean Brosnan and Bob Benozzo), new vocals (courtesy of Jupiter), a killer new remix (by Spiller) and a great dj and label owner (Joey Negro)
It's finally dropping on Z Records UK and I made a new dub mix for the occasion. Check it out.
This is Spiller's mix, sure to bring any floor down :)
In case you are unfamiliar with it: it's a Lio cover version
