As a shaman he is a mediator between the worlds, between his people and a hidden reality. This Heyoka Clown is therefore a mystical character, but not in that sense, such as in medieval Europe scholasticism mysticism has understood and in that period the interior of a Gothic cathedral became a mystic rapt space. This room was lit by a spiritually-acting light through the stained glass windows: that was a nice, contemplative world beyond everyday life with all its troubles and plagues. Although No, the Heyoka fool is out of this world, but in the above-mentioned intermediary role he nevertheless retains her contact and holding her from outside its fools mirror before.
It is in art since the beginning of modernity almost exactly 100 years ago, not more to the pictorial illusion, but the truth in the philosophical sense, better: truthfulness, or whatever you like to express it today with a buzzword: Art should authentically his. In this sense, it has the task to offer us a view of things that is quite different from those of the media, religion, philosophy and science. For this specific artistic vision guiding principle is: "knowledge is grounded in sensory experience"

Turbo Recordings was founded by Tiga in Montreal back in 1998. In addition to launching his own career, the label has been integral in the success of acts like Chromeo, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont and most recently, ANNA & Charlotte de Witte. Core talent includes ZZT (Tiga's collaboration with Zombie Nation), Jori Hulkkonen, BETON, Clouds, Harvard Bass, Pilo, Shaded, Dimitri Veimar and a host of new young producers in genres ranging from pure techno, electro, and house to pop. The list of artists who have released music on the label is a veritable 'who's who' of top-level talent spanning a broad musical range, and this, along with a commitment to beautiful design, has earned the label respect in the industry and a cult following among fans. 

“We started out singing into plastic bags and shipping them to stores as quickly as possible. Later, we discovered that vinyl sounds way better when delivered by kayak. I learned so much the first few years…Now, as I look towards the future, I can envision music for poor people, sonic odors for the hearing impaired, even MP3s for women....Vroom, sucka!” says Tiga, the lyrical lampsman lighting the way down Dance Avenue.
