Tygapaw Tickets

TYGAPAW is a Brooklyn-based performer known for pushing the boundaries of techno and club music with dancehall-inflected rhythms and a powerful voice for Black trans visibility. As the founder of Fake Accent, a label and party that supports Black LGBTQIA+ artists and nightlife spaces, TYGAPAW has built a community-driven approach to electronic music that emphasizes inclusivity, resilience, and high-energy live performance. Their sound sits at the crossroads of hard techno, unapologetic club energy, and celebratory dancehall-inspired grooves, making each set a forward-thinking experience.

From early features to recent press, TYGAPAW has been recognized for influence and contribution to the scene. DJ Mag North America highlighted their impact in 2022, while Paper Magazine profiled their groundbreaking work in 2018. These profiles reflect a performer who not only crafts music but also fosters spaces where Black trans artists can thrive.

In 2020, TYGAPAW released Get Free on NAAFI, followed by Love Has Never Been a Popular Movement in 2023 on fabric Originals. Looking ahead, the 2025 release IMMIGRANT on Tresor Records features a two-track EP, including M32 Riddim and Black Trans Masculine Experience, continuing the dialogue between hard-edged techno and important cultural narratives.

Live shows in 2025 include Nocturnal Emissions in Brooklyn on January 11 and a Signal/UX Brooklyn date on November 29, part of a dedicated TYGAPAW live run that brings precise percussion, biting basslines, and fearless performance to the venue in each city.
