While five minutes of Tiga singing "Luxury/Ah ah ah" and listing brand names doesn't do much in the way of stimulation, the accompanying music at least...

Remember how it made you write run-on sentences like that one? Tiga clearly does (...

Tiga's Dance Now Pops

By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) May 25, 2009 11:07 am
It's highly fitting that veteran Montreal DJ Tiga would name his new album Ciao! The popular Italian phrase can be used either as an informal greeting or goodbye, and the globetrotting Tiga finds himself at his most traditionally danceable, all while further separating himself from his record-spinning peers. On Ciao!, Tiga takes major...
