Montreal DJ and producer Tiga has announced his new album No Fantasy Required. The album has co-production and features from Matthew Dear, Jake Shears, Hudson Mohawke and Paranoid London. Pairing with the announcement, he has unveiled his new collaboration with Hudson Mohawke, the druggy tune "Planet E." The LP is by and large all new music, but does include the previously release single "Bugatti" (no not the one that Ace Hood woke up in).
"First of all, I never talk about the music itself," says Tiga about the album. "It's borderline sacrilegious to talk about the grooves. They have a language all their own, the grooves do. I just birth them and send them out into the world to make others happy. And that's what makes me happy, and that's what makes you happy."
This is the first album from Tiga since 2009's Ciao! and his third overall.
"Planet E," has a bit of both of both worlds from Mohawke and Tiga with atmospheric synths gently rising and falling, a strong bass line and a deep voice wooing somebody, "With the joy that I'm feeling, I'm on planet E / total brain peace when it's just you and me."
Even with album three ready to go in two months, Tiga said on Twitter today that he is already working on album four.
To along with the LP, Tiga will make a brief stop in the United States for three tour dates in Brooklyn, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
No Fantasy Required will be released on March 4. Fans can pre-order the album on iTunes.
