2016 beatzzz

Doubt down to zero...

Thanks to Francis Patrick who was clearing away a box of tapes and found this very odd interview with myself in NY in 1982. Some things you just can't say on radio anymore , well nothings changed I am still out all night and still love electronic music and I am talking about NY Nightlife, Ultravox- Spandau - Metro Peter Godwin and the dire music press who did not believe these Electronic Bands would last or even get off the ground... well 30 odd years later Spandau release Soul Boys of The Western World in Cannes Film Festival 2014 and the rest as they say is History...

New Album Set for Release in Early 2016 
Following the massive success of “Bugatti” and his first string of live performances, Tiga is preparing to release his first album since 2009’s Ciao! early next year on Counter Records (a Ninja Tune imprint). “It’s a natural fit - I’m the original Counter. I count RESULTS. Advantage: Tiga City,” says Tiga.

“Seven years is a lifetime, especially for lifetime full-time dreamers like me. Entire fantasy worlds have been loved and lost. Restaurants have opened and closed. I’ve taken the spiritual advice of those closest to me and chosen to remain inside the present, listening and growing until there’s no choice to spring out of the box and share my gift. And that gift is the simplest of questions and answers. What is love? It is what it is, and what it is is it’s everything."

Tiga to Play First Live London Show at KOKO
On November 21st, Tiga will bring his acclaimed “Tiga Live” show to KOKO, marking the first time the Montreal entertainer has treated London fans to his unique blend of cutting-edge set design, soaring vocals and Jori Hulkkonen.

“London is incredibly important to me. It’s where I first heard The Beatles, and they also make very good dance music there,” says Tiga. “After conquering the festival circuit, I’m beyond jazzed to sing and dance in a club setting. The restroom lines are much shorter, which I think will make the set noticeably tighter in terms of costume changes."

New Single “Don’t Break My Heart” Out November 21

Co-produced by Clarian North (ex-Footprintz), “Don’t Break My Heart” has already staked its place as the emotional climax of Tiga’s already climax-heavy live show.

“The same world that has given me everything breaks my heart every day-ay. But if that’s the price I have to pay-ay, I wouldn’t have it any other way-ay. I can’t stop singing everything I say-ay.” says an exhausted Tiga, tears of song-sweat streaming down his natural singer’s face.

Tiga - Don't Break My Heart

Made from the stems and bits that Mats put onto his Facebook page :)

Deutsche Bank - Unterwegs (Jeff Appleton Extended Mix)

What's in a name? Well, when you decide to call yourself Acid Bitchez, quite a lot. Harking back to a simpler time, when Chicago ruled the roost, the freshly formed duo of Juha Johnny (who eagle eared readers may remember as as one of the black-tie wearing 303-knob twiddlers in Jori Hulkkonen's Acid Symphony Orchestra) and "lyrical miracle" Jessika have made the most auspicious of debuts, landing on Tiga's Turbo imprint to take us on an acid trip of epic proportions.

Titled 'Thinking About Acid' (we're starting to notice a theme here...) their debut record has seen the label draft in fellow acid enthusiasts - the music not the drug - on remix duties with Jori Hulkkonen, General Ludd, Zia and Joeski all brought in to reshape the cut in their own image. Our pick of the bunch? Well that'd have to be Finnish super-producer Jori Hulkkonen's 303 drenched rework which we have the pleasure of unveiling today.

Don't You Want Me - Andy Hagerty's Syntharp MIX

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHEN ITS NOT FOR SALE OR DOWNLOAD ITS BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED BY THE ARTISTS. This mix was submitted too late for the release and lost in a hard drive . This is a WAV Copy . Please do not rip or share it's for streaming enjoyment only . I thought it was a great song that the band were great Live and Elly Jackson was a star. Seems I was right and it became a big hit. My mixes that are not accepted by the artists for RELEASE only due to timescales or to many other mixes. Some artists like to control the releases some like Madonna or U2 or La Roux just don't want loads of Official mixes when there are loads of DJ Edits. Fade to Grey by Visage must have 100 version's out there , They send them to me but UMG own Visage .I remade FTG on the Blitzed OST
