Tiki-taka

Tikiman/Paul St. Hilaire is the commanding, supplicating voice of much of the great Rhythm & Sound/Burial Mix output that LMYE's been celebrating lately (see here, here & here).

Besides his own Basic Channel-linked label (False Tuned), he collaborates pretty constantly & widely - including with Apparat & Modeselektor last year: check out the ferocious live workout of Let Your Love Grow on Things To Be Frickled, or the marginally more restrained version on Happy Birthday...

He was also on Soul Jazz's first Box of Dub dubstep compilation last year.



Here's some other non-Rhythm & Sound outings (Main Street isn't too far from its BC cousin, granted, but anyway...) - several G-Stone sessions among them:

Dub in a Nutshell ft. Paul St. Hilaire > You Never Know [SoulPhiction Mix] (from Motorsoul Vol.1)

Main Street feat. Paul St. Hilaire > Acting Crazy [Club Vocal] (from Round One to Round Five)

Mind over Midi featuring Tikiman > Revelation (from World Dub Pastry)

Rodney Hunter feat. Paul St. Hilaire > Vampire (from Dub Club - Picked From The Floor EP)

StereoTyp meets Tikiman > Jahman [Original Version] (from My Sound)

Right on for the darkness

Get over to Skull Disco pronto for a giveway mix. It's a dark, clanking hour in DST's company - one that really encapsulates this huge, echoey sound.

Would have liked to link this up with one of the awesome Shackleton & Peverelist remixes of Pole. But LMYE's lonely but sincere 'policy' on not posting music unless the artist has made it freely available won't allow that...

For now, here's the original Winkelstreben (from Steingarten). Before the Peverselist treatment, it was a fine piece of 21st century Krautrock.

Also, check out an earlier Pole collision with a dubby edge: the shimmering Balalaika Dub with Manuela Krause (from Mein Freund Der Baum on Monika Enterprise, home of a number of LMYE's German electronica favourites; also on this quite tasty compilation, which also includes Burial Mix lynchpin Tikiman/Paul St Hilaire & Cabaret Voltaireist Richard H. Kirk's Sandoz...).
