His relentless pursuit of musical excellence saw him co-founding the legendary nightclub Sona, creating a sanctuary for bold, cutting-edge dance music, while his label Turbo Recordings became a launchpad for numerous iconic releases in electronic music.

As a producer, Tiga achieved global recognition with his chart-topping cover of “Sunglasses at Night,” a collaboration with Zyntherius, which became an anthem for electro enthusiasts. His remix credits include high-profile artists such as Felix da Housecat, Fischerspooner, Scissor Sisters, and Peaches, solidifying his reputation as a master of reinvention. In 2003, Tiga’s contribution to the prestigious DJ Kicks series showcased his eclectic style, while his original works, including the hit single “Pleasure from the Bass,” cemented his place in the pantheon of electronic music.
