Electronic music icon Tiga announces his forthcoming album HOTLIFE, set for release on 17 April 2026, with a long-awaited new single “ECSTASY SURROUNDS ME” out today [24 October 2025] as a collaborative release via Montreal’s Turbo Recordings and Secret City Records. The Canadian producer, DJ, and label head delivers an emotive masterpiece, blurring the lines between eloquent introspection and peak-time club euphoria.
“ECSTASY SURROUNDS ME” sparked an Instagram frenzy way back in 2023 when Tiga teased a brief excerpt. Fans flooded his DMs with thousands of pleas to release the track immediately. Nearly three years later, we’re finally answering the call. “It’s rewarding to write lyrics that resonate with people on a personal level,” confides Tiga. “Here’s a little something off the dome right now: ‘There’s so much to discover / Under the covers / In the backseat of my Audi machine…’ I mean, it’s like breathing tme.”
On “ECSTASY SURROUNDS ME”, Tiga returns to reveal the most important hallways of the human heart, breathing new, sensual life into the Overt Power Romance genre. The track is written with frequent collaborator Matthew Dear (also known as Audion) and completed with new best friends Jump Source (Montreal’s rising duo of Priori and Patrick Holland). The cryptically autobiographical lyrics and heartrending 80s synth-pop atmospherics contrast with the singer-producer’s penchant for impossibly muscular bangers.
“You have to live with every track you make,” says Tiga. “But you don’t love all your tracks the same. I love this track with all my heart because it makes me feel like the artist I want to be. It’s forced me to become a better man, a better father, and a pillar of my community. I will never be able to fully repay this song all I owe, but I can make it the closing tune of the best album I have ever made. That will have to be enough.”
“ECSTASY SURROUNDS ME” continues a series of singles planned for release in 2025, a display of adrenaline-soaked generosity culminating in Tiga’s first studio album in over a decade – HOTLIFE – which features global artists such as Fcukers, Boys Noize, Maara, and MRD.
