Everything about Turbo is pure class, from their inhouse posterboy DJ and producer Tiga, to the company name and logo, to our brothers in funk Chromeo, they keep their shit tight there in Montreal. Since it’s inception in 1999, they’ve consistently released some of the heaviest, most forward thinking music for dancing of any label anywhere. Turbo label manager Mark introduces himself here…

Hi, I'm Mark from Turbo
Turbo is a label my partner Tiga and I started out back is 99 specializing in electronic music
When turbo begun things were different because loads of things… Damn! People were still on dial up, no high speed, the world was napster free and my grandmother didn’t know yet how to use a cd burner yet.
Turbo is different to other labels because I think we just have a different vision of what we consider good music. Our goal was never really to differentiate ourselves, just stay true to our ears.
If forced to choose, my favourite Turbo release so far would be Ouch! Don’t want to let everyone down, but my favorite would have to be the latest bomb by Phillip Zdar (Turbo-028). Then going for the mix series I could never forget Jesper Dahlbacks first Stockholm Mix Sessions A CLASSIC!
If 2004 was the year of getting up and wiping the blood from my face
then 2005 is going to be the year of …it can only get better
The key to Turbo's success is our artists, hard ass work, love, branding, branding, branding and hangovers….
When we're not putting out fine music, we at Turbo like to Tiga plays poker with mob bosses and bets on coq fights, I make furniture from all our overstock, then blow it up.
What's great about Montreal is cheapest place on this side of the Atlantic to have this much fun… Smokemeat, change of seasons, short skirts in the spring
Us Canadians cop a lot of shit but who’s counting anyway
One embarassing thing you probably don't know about Tiga is he nests on his kitkat to make it nice & warm before eating (like chicken does an egg…)
If Turbo was to die on the tombstone would be written we could have downloaded all for free…
