| Posted: 10 Jun 2009 05:05 AM PDT Tiga struts through the concrete jungle of dance music proudly. A rare peacock in a scene not known for recognisable personas, Tiga exudes vibrant eccentricity, and his occasional dabbles in make-up give him a doll-like appearance. He's not your standard faceless techno DJ. Everyone knows Tiga. Yet behind the image, the bizarre video appearances, and sarcastic soliloquies, Tiga James Sontag is a highly successful DJ, producer, and label owner. There is much more to him than meets the fluttering eye. His Turbo Recordings is one of the most popular labels in dance music, despite the fact it doesn't have a hint of consistency about it (except perhaps, its artwork). Beatportal decided to meet the Tiga in his home in Montreal, far away from the spotlight, to talk about the importance of personality in electronic music, how to run a successful record label, and to find out more about the Tiga we all think we know. |
| Nathan Fake talks music and his ‘Hard Islands’ LP Posted: 09 Jun 2009 01:17 PM PDT Nathan Fake, the quirky mullet-haired British techno and electronica producer, comes across as good humoured, slightly cheeky, but essentially private during our 20 minute chat. Several times he drops Americanisms like ‘awesome’ and ‘totally’, and the guy seems to be a bit of a ‘dude’ – a free spirited artist – which makes James Holden’s Border Community label a perfect home for him and his new mini-album ‘Hard Islands’. |
