On
March 4th, Montreal
recording artist Tiga will release the conclusion to a trilogy of albums with
No Fantasy Required. 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
and Moby, among many others. He has used his Turbo label to break new acts like
Duke Dumont, Chromeo, Gesaffelstein and Boyz Noize. In addition, he has
frequently collaborated with luminaries such as James Murphy, Pusha T and, on
No Fantasy Required, Hudson Mohawke and Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters. Now,
working with key producer Matthew Dear, and Finnish wizard Jori Hulkkonen (who
also performs with him live), Tiga has made a record on which he says he feels “more
honest, open and playful.” No Fantasy Required is a collection of inspired
songs that just happen to be delivered via visceral dance music. 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.
