Tiga

Tiga (born Tiga James Sontag, 1974) is one of electronic music’s most charismatic Canadian DJs, producers, and label heads—blending underground techno credibility with catchy electro-pop flair. Hailing from Montreal, he helped shape Canada’s dance scene by throwing one of the country’s first raves and co-founding the influential nightclub Sona before even releasing his own music.
