  • Tiga will follow up his 2006 effort, Sexor, in April with a new album entitled Ciao. The producer has reportedly split the difference between "club songs and real songs" by working with the likes of Soulwax, James Murphy, Jesper Dahlbäck and Gonzales—an artist perhaps best known for his work behind the scenes with indie darling Feist. Soulwax and Dahlbäck, as you might imagine, have a lot to do with the club-centric tunes like "Beep Beep Beep," "Mind Dimension" and "What You Need." And Gonzales and Murphy help out with things like "Luxury" and "Gentle Giant," which see Tiga airing out some of his insecurities to the world at large. That said, as with many Tiga records, there's lots of mixing and matching, meaning the line between "club" and "real" blurs quite often—as on the lengthy closer "Love Don't Dance Here Anymore," which contains a two-minute piano ballad intro before transforming into a Cowley-esque disco groover. Tracklist 01. Beep Beep Beep 02. Mind Dimension 03. Shoes 04. What You Need 05. Luxury 06. Sex O'Clock 07. Overtime 08. Turn the Night On 09. Speak, Memory 10. Gentle Giant 11. Love Don't Dance Here Anymore PIAS Recordings will release Tiga's Ciao! on April 20, 2009.
