Tiga didn't have your average childhood. He was born in Canada but spent many of his first ten years in Goa, where his parents were part of a community of travellers with a love of all-night beach parties and spirituality. There, he discovered the joys of playing music to a crowd, and went on to become a world-famous, award-winning DJ. He's remixed songs from The xx, LCD Soundsystem, Scissor Sisters, Peaches, Moby, Depeche Mode and more.

In this episode we find out what happened when Ollie went to a rave and the police turned up, ask what it's like to change from a rule-free hippy child into a boarding school boy and discuss why your teenage years are the best times to make a few mistakes.

Tiga's ‘3am Questions’:
Favourite book - 1984 by George Orwell or Waiting for the Barbarians by J. M. Coetzee
