DJ Hell recently showed it with his album NEOCLASH: Electroclash is trendy again. The king of the genre, which combined club music with pop tropes in the early 2000s, doesn’t take long to ask. Tiga gives his art on HOTLIFE a contemporary update, for which he collaborates with well-known producers from different generations.
For example with Boys Noize on the opener and the so-called focus track “Hotwife”. It immediately radiates that special aura that is inherent in Tiga’s music. Cool arrogance that drifts into the silly, sexy Dada before stringency, self-important pose triumphing over solemn seriousness.
With “High Rollers”, for which Paranoid London tailored a heavy acid beat to the 51-year-old Canadian, the situation is similar: the monotonous organ also asserts itself against more bass power, transporting their rasping coolness from the background to the foreground. Tiga is a work of art, an instrument, a medium in every sense. Good thing he’s back.
