Following the release of his first studio album in over a decade, Tiga is kicking off a new remix project around HOTLIFE, with a series of the album’s biggest tracks set to receive fresh reworks from long-term collaborators, established names and new-generation artists.
The project follows the recent standalone release of The Dare’s remix of ‘IAMWHATIAM’, bringing together one of electroclash’s original pioneers with one of the artists at the forefront of its current revival.
Now, ‘HOT WIFE’, Tiga’s single with long-time friend and collaborator Boys Noize, gets two new interpretations from FCUKERS and London producer Ben Sterling.
Released as a single from HOTLIFE, ‘HOT WIFE’ delivered the last thing listeners expected from a collaboration with Boys Noize: a shockingly catchy pop ode to marital lust. The remix package takes that energy firmly to the dancefloor.
Following their contribution to HOTLIFE highlight ‘SILK SCARF’, FCUKERS return with their own take on ‘HOT WIFE’.
As a show of gratitude for their contributions to HOTLIFE high point ‘Silk Scarf,’ Tiga requested a remix from the young duo while taking them under his wing in his car as George Michael’s ‘Father Figure’ blared at deafening levels. The result of this troubling encounter is a genuinely amazing anomaly that defies genre, description, expectation, convention, easy explanation, easy categorisation, and logic.
“I feel like I’ve become husbanda non grata for saying I have a hot wife. But I know that no matter what I do, some people are just gonna play the blame game and shame my name for all the fame,” says a pointedly lyrical Tiga. “When you’re talking about the power of love, every wife is hot. Even yours.”
On the flipside, Ben Sterling is back in Tigatown after his massive 2022 remix of eternal classic ‘Mind Dimension’.” The London producer invites you to flush those salsa dancing lessons down the toilet and spice things up with a killer acid banger featuring an insane breakdown.
The HOT WIFE release marks the first instalment in the wider HOTLIFE remix project, with further reworks of ‘IAMWHATIAM’, ‘SILK SCARF’ and ‘ECSTASY SURROUNDS ME’ set to drop between now and the end of October 2026.
Across the project, Tiga’s album highlights will be reimagined by a mix of familiar collaborators and fresh faces, bringing new perspectives to the tracks that have defined HOTLIFE.
Marking his first LP in over a decade, HOTLIFE sees the electroclash pioneer return in full force with an incredible 12 track project featuring collaborators including Boys Noize, Fcukers, MRD, Maara, Priori and Patrick Holland.
The album followed a six-month run of singles including ‘SILK SCARF’, ‘HOT WIFE’ and ‘FRICTION’, picking up major tastemaker support across Resident Advisor, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Crack, CLASH, Pitchfork and many more, alongside Tiga’s current global tour.
