Black Tiger Sex Machine (BTSM) have crafted a distinctive presence in the electronic scene with their immersive live sets and visually striking narratives. Their PORTALS show, unveiled at Ultra Miami in 2023, redefined what live electronic performances could be, using motion-capture visuals and cutting-edge technology. The Canadian trio’s performances have lit up global festivals, from Electric Forest to Lollapalooza, enthralling fans with their futuristic stories and iconic Tiger Helmets. Aside from performances, they’ve expanded their independent label, Kannibalen Records, nurturing the careers of emerging talents like Apashe and Dabin.
Their recent single, “Mind Expanding,” delves further into the lore of the Taiyans, a fictional faction within BTSM’s evolving universe. Featuring nature-documentary-like narration and powered by aggressive production, the track embodies the Taiyan belief that blindness leads to true enlightenment. This track made an impression during their Skull Machine set at Lost Lands, its raw energy echoing the group’s unyielding ideology.
Born from the collaboration of three ambitious artists, Black Tiger Sex Machine’s journey started in Canada and has since spanned the globe, cultivating a fiercely devoted fan base. Their blend of storytelling and sound continues to leave a deep impact on listeners.
