Tiga threw Montreal's first-ever rave, Solstice, in 1993, then opened a record store the following year and founded his own label, Turbo Recordings, in 1998 — infrastructure-building well before “Sunglasses at Night,” his 2001 cover of Corey Hart's 1984 hit, turned him into an actual electroclash star.

Turbo Recordings turned out to be the bigger legacy: the label launched Chromeo, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont, and Charlotte de Witte, among others, while Tiga himself became a go-to remixer for Justice, Moby, and LCD Soundsystem.

Sexor, his 2006 album, won a Juno for Dance Recording of the Year, and Hotlife, out in 2026, is his fourth full-length in a career now running past three decades.
