Before growing into the acclaimed DJ and electronic music producer that he is today, Tiga got his first exposure to music touring the Goa region of India with his DJ father in the 80s. Now based in Montreal, he's now released four albums, including 2001's acclaimed Mixed Emotions, and the popular 2006 disc Sexor. He has a new album, Ciao, which bridges the gap between IDM (intelligent dance music) and more heady, heavy electronica (hear some here).
He plays the Independent tonight, and Another Planet has been kind enough to offer up a pair of tickets to SFist readers in exchange for a brilliant haiku using the words "electronic" and "dad." Compose your haiku in the comments, and a winner will be chosen by 3 p.m. today and informed via email.
To purchase tickets for Tiga, go here -- doors are at 8:30, openers are Jaimie Fanatic and DJ Omar.
UPDATE: We have a winner! And it's the commenter known as mcclindsay, who wrote:

What an amazing necklace
Hand on bare belly
Oh you sexy douche

Daddy, buy me the tickets!
Electronic scam.

ironic humor thrives, stop
learn love in music
