NYE Marathon: Tiga @ Parking

On December 29th, DJ Mini's last Overdose night of 2005 authoritatively kicked off Montréal's NYE celebrations with a bang: special guest DJ Tiga. Club Parking was naturally overcrowded and boiling: just like we like it. I could've done without the 45 minutes wait to get in and the equally long wait to get out, but alas it always seems like such a minute price to occasionally pay for our beloved weekly electro happening.

From a musical standpoint, Tiga's set was fine but not stunning, mostly showcasing the last few months' electro hits and giving us just a foretaste of what's in store for 2006. Am I the only one who still expects Montréal's electro superstar to pull a DJ Kicks-worthy performance out of his cap every time?

Unrealistic as my expectations may be they seem quite ridiculous when weighed against the $6.25 cover charge required to attend the event. Plus, Tiga played the fast version of "Far From Home", his next single, which was worth the trip by itself.

One question though: when are we going to hear "Move My Body" again?
