About Sigha

(Taken from the Shooting Stars of 2010 feature in Jans edition of DJmag)

Forged in the fires of techno's industrial past, and rising from the flames phoenix like to claim his place in the pantheon, Sigha (pronunced sire) is a different kind of DJ/ Producer. In his world German minimal wizzards Ben Klock, Marcel Dettman and Redshape sit side by side with dubstep stargazers Ramadanman and Pangaea, all united under the umbrella of intense deep machine music. Of course, techno and dubstep have been getting cosy for a while now, but never with such seemless chrome plated majesty. Mixing hissing black smoke, clouds of techno hum and 4 x 4 drums with disemboweling heavy bass heft. DJ sets at his london club night Medium taking place at Plastic People have joined the dots between underground forms of electronic music, forging exciting new hybrids in the process. Releases on the fresh-to death Hotflush (Rawww ep) and alongside Spherix on Immerse (Seperation), have got tech and dubstep heads equaly excited, and drawn props from Mary Anne Hobbs to the mighty Dettman himself.
