Referencing fellow dub techno pioneers Mark Ernestus \u0026amp; Moritz von Oswald’s acclaimed album w\/ The Artists as Rhythm \u0026amp; Sound, St. Hilaire flips the concept to feature as the lone vocalist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the album’s nine tracks, St. Hilaire offers a range of conscious song-writing and headtop musings, such as the spoken-word dread of “What’s This” or the sparse call-to-action of “Send Them On”. The record weaves through all shades of contemporary dub evolutions, showing the vocal range and versatility of St. Hilaire. w\/ The Producers is yet another essential record in St. Hilaire’s unmatched discography.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe producers were curated by label owner and DJ Richard Akingbehin to give the new album a future-facing feel and mark 10 years of Kynant Records. Akingbehin sourced beats from luminaries such as Digital Mystikz boss and dubstep trailblazer Mala or elusive Chain Reaction artist Shinichi Atobe. They sit alongside some of the most exciting names in recent electronic music - Batu, Gavsborg, Azu Tiwaline, Priori, Cousin, Russell E.L. Butler, Aurora Halal and DJ G - all of whom bring different elements of dub techno into their productions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ew\/ The Producers finds Kynant Records bridging the original voice of dub techno with the genre’s new wave. It’s a statement of intent from the label, which began 10 years ago with deep, hypnotic techno and has veered gradually towards more dubwise sounds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 439px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3250393340\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kynantrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/paul-st-hilaire-w-the-producers\"\u003ePaul St. Hilaire - w\/ The Producers by Paul St. Hilaire\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Rubadub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62334351376714,"sku":"2656","price":57.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/8187\/0154\/files\/cc_front_b9707fce-ed6d-4d4f-a276-f2e4f2f28453.jpg?v=1781269897","url":"https:\/\/chippychasers-recordstore.com\/products\/paul-st-hilaire-w-the-producers","provider":"Chippy Chasers Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
