Guess what? Tiga’s havin’ fun again on "HOT WIFE," the latest single ahead of his upcoming HOTLIFE album, out April 17, 2026 via Turbo Recordings / Secret City Records. His third offering from the highly-anticipated comeback record, “HOT WIFE” brings back a longtime collaborator and old friend, superstar producer Boys Noize. These two certified legends of electronic music have helped define late-2000s electro and club culture, with a mutual respect that has been fostered over decades of b2b DJ sets and marathon studio sessions. After crossing paths on the now-seminal dance tracks “Bugatti” and “100,” they lead us into 2026 with a revival of their long-dormant production partnership.

Written in Berlin alongside Boys Noize, the new single's unapologetic pop sensibility is something that Tiga wrestled with nightly: "You reach a point where making unassailably cool dance records can lead to diminishing returns. In a way, it’s the safest thing you can do. You can’t live in fear that a man in a fedora is going to like your music. At the end of the day, it’s simple: this song comes down to a huge bassline I made with my mouth so I can tell you about my wife and my life."

Beyond exploring frequencies outside his comfort zone, Tiga also made the tough decision to give the public a glimpse of his private world: "Since the dawn of time, people have romanticized the DJ/Producer as the Ultimate Bachelor Fantasy," he explains. "When it became clear that it was only a matter of time before news of my wife leaked, my crisis PR team told me in no uncertain terms that I needed to get ahead of it and control the narrative. In any case, I’m betting big that this release is going to take my marriage to the next level."

And to those who might interpret the single’s lyrical content as mere bragging, Tiga urges us all to understand his message through the prism of Radical Gratitude and fostering new dialogues: "As for the lyrics*, all six words are based on my truth," he says. “Newsflash: only a small percentage of men are married to hot women and a lot of them are great guys like me. Why not listen to what we have to say?"

Tiga would like to make it clear that the song’s lyrics are in no way a reference to the swinging term ‘hotwife,’ which he only learned about six hours ago.

Following the long-awaited “ECSTASY SURROUNDS ME” and Fcukers collab “SILK SCARF,” “HOT WIFE" serves as the third pre-release single from HOTLIFE, Tiga’s first album in a decade. The project will also contain features from Fcukers, Maara, and MRD.

MORE ABOUT TIGA
Tiga, born in Montreal, is a globally renowned DJ, producer, and the creative force behind Turbo Recordings. His journey began in the vibrant chaos of the 1980s Indian club scene, where he developed a deep appreciation for electronic music’s transformative power. Returning to Montreal in the early 1990s, Tiga pioneered a new wave of nightlife, introducing innovative party concepts, guest DJs, and Montreal’s first rave, “Solstice,” in 1993. His relentless pursuit of musical excellence saw him co-founding the legendary nightclub Sona, creating a sanctuary for bold, cutting-edge dance music, while his label Turbo Recordings became a launchpad for numerous iconic releases in electronic music from legends such as Chromeo, Azari & III, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont, ANNA, and Charlotte de Witte.

There’s always been a fertile creative tension at the heart of Tiga’s music: on the one hand he’s the underground techno don, on the other, there’s a pop sensibility that enables him to write great songs. It’s this duality that makes him one of electronic music’s most engaging characters. He’s about as far from your faceless techno DJ as it’s possible to get.

Recently, Larkk shared another new single from her upcoming debut album, Cinders, out February 13. Larkk is Danielle McTaggart (Dear Rouge) in a new form, born from her desire for deeper artistic exploration. Following previous singles “Devastation’ Bliss”, “Caverns”, and “First Kiss” and a sold out Vancouver performance in November, “Cuckoo” pulls you into a shadowy dreamworld—moody, mysterious, and awash in cinematic depth. It unfolds like a spiritual vision, rising into a beautiful storm of strings and orchestral colour. A bold step in McTaggart’s transformation, “Cuckoo” transcends genre to offer a sound that feelsotherworldly—haunting, poetic, and profoundly transportive.

GARRET T. WILLIE UNVEILS THE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “I’M LATE” FROM UPCOMING LP

“Named after his grandfather's pool hall and café in Alert Bay, Bill's Cafe superimposes those Pacific ghost towns atop the streets of Nashville, communing with them in honky-tonk bars with a signature gravelly, blues rock pluck.” Exclaim!, 2026 Most Anticipated Albums

With his new album, Bill’s Cafe, a little more than a month away, celebrated songwriter and guitarist Garret T. Willie is unveiling another new track from the album. “I’m Late” sees Willie focusing a little more on self-destruction instead of construction.

“I’m Late” is about “running late to the gig,” explains Willie. “Stopping at the liquor store on your way there - even though you were already 40 minutes late - being up for three days, playing a two hour set, running out of gas on a hill, borrowing money to buy a soccer ball, trying your luck at the nine ball.”

“I’m Late” arrives with a music video from Barricade Studios produced and directed by Jalil Chaudry that leans into a chaotic, honky-tonk, slightly unhinged energy, capturing the feeling of being late, hungover, and scrambling through a morning-after haze. With Director of Photography Dan Barham at the helm, the camera becomes a character itself: constantly chasing, weaving, and reacting as Garret barrels through his bad decisions.

MORE ABOUT BILL’S CAFE
Garret T. Willie’s upcoming second album, Bill’s Cafe, is more than a record — it’s a tribute, a turning point, and a reckoning. Named after his grandfather’s pool hall café in Alert Bay, British Columbia, the album carries the ghosts of home into the bright lights of Nashville. It was there, under the guidance of Grammy Award-winning producer Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Kingfish, Susan Tedeschi), that Willie sharpened his blues-rock fire into something bigger, bolder, and truer.

The album is a road map of grit, heart, and soul. Written and recorded between late nights, long drives, and Nashville sessions, the record captures the restless spirit of a young artist carrying old-soul blues and rock traditions into the future. Across the album, Willie threads tales of whiskey-fueled nights, missed chances, stubborn resilience, and the freedom that only comes with chasing music town to town.

With his guitar in hand and a voice that cuts like hi-beam headlights on a dark backroad, Willie delivers songs that feel lived-in and timeless. Bill’s Cafe is about the forces that hold us — love, loss, addiction, ambition, and the unshakable call of music as a means of survival. It’s a live wire of raw energy and soul — a reminder that sometimes the most dangerous thing is also the most irresistible.

That edge runs through the whole record. From roadhouse stompers to backseat ballads, Willie shines a light on hustlers, heartbreakers, and the broken pieces we all carry. He doesn’t just sing the blues — he spits them, shouts them, and bends them into something both timeless and dangerous. 

In Bill’s Cafe, Garret T. Willie doesn’t just honor his past — he builds a bridge between worlds: Alert Bay and Nashville, tradition and reinvention, the ghosts of family and the fire of the future.

On stage, Garret T. Willie is undeniable. At just 25 years old, his towering stature and deep, gravel-soaked voice channel the weight of an artist who has lived every shade of the blues. His performances are electric — no gimmicks, no fluff, just raw shredding, searing tone, and solos that rip straight through the room. He plays with the intensity of the greats, often bending the guitar behind his head mid-solo or leaping into the crowd to bring the fire even closer. Willie’s live show is more than a concert — it’s a shockwave of blues-rock energy that leaves audiences speechless and makes believers out of anyone.

Willie first made his mark with his debut album Same Pain, written with Parker Bossley at Afterlife Studios in Vancouver. The record lit a fire that spread far beyond Canada’s borders, earning praise from The Toronto Star, RANGE, Guitar World, Wonderland, Blues Matters, Blues in Britain and Classic Rock Magazine, while also landing airplay on BBC Radio 2’s The Blues Show with Cerys Matthews. Same Pain broke into the Top 20 on the UK Blues Albums chart and the US Roots Music Blues Rock chart in 2023, earned Willie two Western Canadian Music Award nominations for Blues and Indigenous Artist of the Year and a nomination for Best New Touring Artist at the Canadian Live Music Industry Awards. He carried those songs across Canada and in the US, opening for legends like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, John Fogerty, Kingfish, and recently performed on Joe Bonamassa’s Blues Cruise with Marcus King, Jimmy Vivino, Jeremie Albino, Ariel Posen, and more — proving that his firebrand blend of blues, rock, and raw honesty could hold its own on any stage.
