FTVS and Tiga covet a long-lasting and one hundred (100) percent non-sexual relationship extending back to the autumn of 2000. It all began one night at Sona, the illustrious and deceased afterhours located in the erroneously non-European megapolis known as Montreal. A discerning FTVS Senior Editor has shared both the DJ booth and mascara on occasions with Tiga; fireside chats with scotch in hand were also the norm de rigeur.

Tiga is largely credited with spawning the current electro movement (alongside captain underpants DJ Hell, of course) with his groundbreaking double-CD mix, Mixed Emotions. FTVS suspects he, like the Maréchal Pétain after collaborating with the Nazis, is enormously regretful of having done so, based on its current incarnation of abominable “artists” such as the Bloody Beetroots and Sticky K (who are to the 2000s what the Tidy Boys and Lisa Lashes were to the 1990s: only tolerable if you are hopped up on the donkey dust and ket). To err is to be human, Tiga (and Philippe Pétain), and both you too shall one day be granted amnesty for inadvertently birthing such egregiously woeful movements.

In the interview below, Tiga candidly expounds upon the nuanced depth of his manifesto, from his aspiration to duet with Treach from Naughty by Nature, to defying the demands of the African baby-eater known as Madonna.

Tiga’s strict respect for the FTVS phenomenon is underscored several times in this taped dialectic, such as when he confabulates: “It’s the P of the I M. It’s the Power of the Internet, Mister. Nowadays the H is O M. The Heat is Online, Mister.” Direct acquiescences to the nobility of FTVS are always appreciated, if not expected.

His intrepidity is so raw in its sentience that FTVS wonders if perhaps Tiga might be an appropriate candidate to join our editorial board (cf. FTVS is hiring).
