No Fantasy Required (CD)

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.
