Tiga - Sexor

Tiga
Sexor
Turbo Recordings/Last Gang Records
Grade: B+

It’s hard not to love hot, sweaty indie-electro dance magic as demonstrated on Tiga’s fourteen-track Sexor. Within five seconds of the first greeting from “(Far From) Home,” you figure either Tiga is a new, young electro savant or he’s put considerable time into crafting such gorgeous songs. While young, Tiga (aka Tiga James Sontag) has been working the scene from setting up shows, opening a store, starting his Turbo Recordings, and remixing everyone and their mother for over decade in Montreal. With production help from the boys in Soulwax, Tiga’s debut Sexor is sugary beats to get your ass moving. Among those shifting to the top include the simple and superb “(Far From) Home” and its later remix, “3 Weeks,” the wack “Louder Than a Bomb,” the lengthy but well-fixed “Good As Gold,” and Tiga’s remix version of the Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House.” If you’re looking for music to fill out your latest drug binge, Sexor should be your next score.
