Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
He might have made his name as one of the founding fathers of electroclash, but Montreal-based DJ Tiga's contribution to the DJ Kicks series proves he's got a range and talent to outlive the genre. Rather than choosing the obvious genre-defining tracks, he's hunted out some stellar remixers from the field of punk-funk and electro-pop: there's Adult twisting Jolly Music's "Radio Jolly" into a gothic pulse, DFA recasting Le Tigre as shrill disco maidens on "Deceptacon", and Trevor Jackson adopting his Playgroup guise to reinvent Chromeo's "You're So Gangsta" as a digital funk number, vibrating with stuttering electronic pin-drops, and splashed with a comfy burst of saxophone.
Tiga is, it had to be said, still one for the occasional 1980s fashion crime--resurrecting Stevie V's "Dirty Cash" for the new millennium is a thoroughly gruesome idea, and the very idea should be put wherever they put Flock of Seagulls. But he makes a remarkably good case for the rehabilitation of many of the hallmarks of the decade of excess: take Codec & Flexor's "Time Has Changed", for example, which revisits the mood of electronic melancholy once perfected by Depeche Mode but casts it within a thoroughly modern-sounding framework of glitchy futurism. --Louis Pattison
Chronique amazon.fr
Après avoir ouvert un magasin de disques spécialisé dans les musiques électroniques, le Montréalais Tiga monte avec son ami DJ Mark Dillon le label Turbo, pour lequel il enregistre un imparable tube electro-pop, le fameux Sunglasses At Night (reprise, avec Jori Hulkkonen, d'un morceau des années 80 signé par Corey Hart) qui annonçait prophétiquement l'arrivée de la vague electroclash et de personnalités comme Miss Kittin, The Hacker et DMX Krew. Il était logique que le staff berlinois du label K7 fasse appel à ses talents le temps d'une compilation mixée, fluide, minimale et groovy où figurent entre autres classiques fédérateurs des perles dues à Chromeo ou Swayzak. --Hervé Comte

Excellent compilation!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dj Kicks (Audio CD)
This is an amazingly wonderful album. There are so many songs on it that are worth listening to just on their own (Ich Und Elaine, Time Has Changed, and of course Radio Jolly), but the piece as a whole is a wonderful way to get yourself moving for over an hour.

Hats off to Tiga, and to K7,
By MT "moretroops" (Miami) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dj Kicks (Audio CD)
It's time to recognize the DJ Kicks line by K7 for what it is: one of the most consistently outstanding mix series around. When other compilations trip and fall over schlock -- or become too enamored with one particular genre -- DJ Kicks dares to bring you sounds you just don't hear elsewhere. For quite a few years now, the series has set its own course: diverse enough to encompass DnB, rock, house, and dub, but still coherent enough to maintain its appeal to longtime followers. Well done.As for this particular album, the prior reviews say it best: electro-funky, without the overdose of playground kitsch. It's all real fun and inspiring. Good times.
