Black Tiger Sex Machine

Country: CA

Over the years the Canadian group Black Tiger Sex Machine have established themselves as key figures in the bass music scene. Along with their music BTSM pushes the boundaries of what a live show can be, implementing an extremely immersive experience where visuals, lights, music and their signature Tiger Helmets are all controlled live. Their grassroots approach has fostered an extraordinarily faithful fan base called the BTSM Church. BTSM are world-traveling artists having played hundreds of international shows across the US, Canada, Asia, Europe and Africa, as well as major festivals including Lollapalooza Chicago and Paris, EDC Las Vegas, Shambhala, Electric Forest, Osheaga, TomorrowWorld, Ultra and more. Their Futuristic Thriller Tour debuted the Movie Experience, which wove live action cinema and storytelling into their show. The following year, BTSM shared Chapter 2 through an equally impressive tour. The entire Movie Experience sold out at such venues as Bill Graham, Red Rocks and more. Welcome To Our Church was BTSM’s 2015 debut album, which was hailed by the Huffington Post as “One of the best electronic albums of the year,” while the follow-up New Worlds in 2018 debuted at #6 on the Billboard Dance charts. The group’s third LP, Once Upon A Time In Cyberworld, has helped push the trio to over 100 million streams worldwide on Spotify alone. In 2023 they debuted their PORTALS album show while headlining Ultra Miami and subsequently sold out every tour stop including The Armory and Brooklyn Mirage where PORTALS was shown in 4K Ultra Wide. This live experience utilized state-of-the-art motion capture visuals to expand on BTSM’s fictional storied universe, which further grew with new shows including BTSM & Kai Wachi’s b2b SKULL MACHINE, and BTSM’s legendary Anime Show that sold out its entire tour including LA’s Torch with 10,000 tickets and 18,000 tickets between two nights at WAMU in Seattle. The Anime Show is an epic crossover event that blends various universes with BTSM’s own. With the arrival of 2025 the group entered their OMEN era with an EP, and a new live show that will tie-in to an original Manga series. OMEN Live debuted to a massive weekend at the legendary Tacoma Dome with 20,000 tickets, and the subsequent tour saw BTSM’s highly anticipated return to Red Rocks. BTSM also manages Kannibalen Records, which has quickly become one of the top independent labels in dance music. Through Kannibalen they’ve shaped the careers of breakthrough artists like Apashe, Kai Wachi, Dabin, and more. Kannibalen Records has been recognized worldwide through major publication partnerships with Apple, Budweiser, adidas, T-Mobile, PS5, Fifa 2021, Netflix, Marvel, NBA, HBO, MTV, UFC, and more.
