Two DeBaser reviews chart Tiga’s rise from underground tastemaker to album artist. DJ-Kicks (2003) gets high marks for selection, flow, and technical polish. Sexor (2006) divides opinions: strong singles like You Gonna Want Me and Louder Than a Bomb, but uneven depth. References to Soft Cell, Felix Da Housecat, and The Hacker frame his electroclash DNA. Overall: respect for the DJ/producer craft with some album-era reservations.
