Counter (a Ninja Tune imprint) is impossibly excited to announce the signing of Tiga, an artist who effortlessly straddles underground techno and pop and counts some of dance music’s biggest names as friends and collaborators.

Following the major success of ‘Bugatti’ (which featured Pusha T on a later version) and more recently his collaboration with Eats Everything, Tiga is preparing to release his third album; the first since 2009’s Ciao! early next year on Counter. “It’s a natural fit – I’m the original Counter. I count RESULTS. Advantage: Tiga City,” says Tiga. On November 21st, Tiga will bring his acclaimed “Tiga Live” show to KOKO which was debuted at Sonar earlier this year, marking the first time the Montreal entertainer has treated London fans to his unique blend of cutting-edge set design, soaring vocals and Jori Hulkkonen. To celebrate the announcement Tiga will release a new single “Don’t Break My Heart”.

Co-produced by Clarian North (ex-Footprintz), “Don’t Break My Heart” has already staked its place as the emotional climax of Tiga’s already climax-heavy live show. Tiga is a godfather of dance music, who’s redefined the genre by making music that’s fun, funny and seriously exciting. He’s remixed Ninja Tune founders Coldcut, Depeche Mode, The XX, LCD Soundsystem and Moby, released the first ever record by Duke Dumont, others from Gesaffelstein, Azari & III, Chromeo and Boys Noize, and is a frequent collaborator of other dance innovators such as James Murphy and, more recently, Hudson Mohawke and Paranoid London.
