Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2006, Sexor marked Tiga's first full-length album after his acclaimed remix of Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscuous'. At this point, he was transitioning from a respected DJ and remixer to a prominent artist in his own right, building on the momentum of his earlier EPs and singles.
