Working with Matthew Dear and Jori Hulkkonen 'No Fantasy Required' is a collection of inspired songs that just happen to be delivered via the visceral dance music he's a master of. It's a proper album with songs and real character, one that takes you on a journey, but it's also packed with instant bangers. It's interesting, involving and beautifully crafted but it's also funny, sexy and charismatic - just like the maverick who made it! Raised in a hippy commune in Goa before his family relocated to the bohemian hotbed of Montreal, Tiga didn't even have to invent a nom de guerre. Everything he does is as arch as it is artful, and never fails to contain a huge dose of fun. No fantasy is required both because this is an honest, open, playful record and also because it provides all the fantasy you could need.
