...But When You Want Me, It Might Be A Different Story

Following my sideways reference to him in last month's post about cover versions of Nelly's Hot In Herre, today's selection is firmly focused on Canadian DJ & producer Tiga Sontag.

 

Another artist that I've lost touch with in recent years, although a quick scan of t'internet indicates that although his third album was in 2016, Tiga has released a steady stream of singles in the years since, in addition to DJing, production and running the Turbo Recordings label.

 

I only have one Tiga album, the 2CD deluxe edition of debut Sexor, so today's selection draws heavily on this. You also get a few collaborations with Soulwax (or one of the Dewaele brothers, at least), a Chromeo rework and a nice update of The DFA remix by Mojo Filter aka Ben Zaven Crane. In between, two answerphone messages, some nice chunky beats and basslines, wrapping up with the song that supplies today's post title, featuring The Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears.

 

Strap in and enjoy the ride.

...But When You Want Me, It Might Be A Different Story (42:07)

Too Punk To Funk

2007 mix, which I think I may have put together for a friend's birthday. Definitely a snapshot of a moment in time, when it was all about indie disco and big beats. The cover is a remixed image taken from the We Never Know CD single by Nicolette. A long time since I've heard some of these songs and many of the acts are now consigned to history, but I'd forgotten how good some of these remixes are.
