Lights Down Low: Party Preview
In 2001, Canadian producer
Tiga and his partner Zyntherius (aka Finnish producer Jori Hulkkonen) released their first single, a rework of Corey Hart's cheesy-but-irresistible '80s hit "Sunglasses at Night." They kept the catchy melodies of the original and paired them with a retro-inspired electro beat, creating an instant hit that spawned a genre unto itself. "Sunglasses at Night" essentially invented the blueprint for "electroclash," in which producers mixed the robotic machine-funk of classic electro with the catchier, brighter sounds of pop and new wave. Fourteen years later, Tiga is still at it, running his own label (Turbo) and producing tunes that have much heavier, techno-inspired rhythms, with tongue still planted firmly in cheek; Tiga is a techno trickster, fun-loving and impossible to pin down. He's playing an extended set for
Lights Down Low (meaning you can expect the full gamut of his sound), and party residents Corey Sizemore and Richie Panic will both be on hand to kick off the proceedings.
