Legendary dub techno artist Paul St. Hilaire (AKA Tikiman) announces new collaborative album, marking 10 years of Kynant Records. 

Building on the success of Paul St. Hilaire’s landmark solo album for Kynant in 2023, w/ The Producers switches up the formula to pair St. Hilaire with a different producer on each track. Referencing fellow dub techno pioneers Mark Ernestus & Moritz von Oswald’s acclaimed album w/ The Artists as Rhythm & Sound, St. Hilaire flips the concept to feature as the lone vocalist.

Over 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”. w/ The Producers is yet another essential record in St. Hilaire’s unmatched discography.

The album marks 10 years of Kynant Records, with label owner Richard Akingbehin curating an eclectic but sonically connected group of producers. These include luminaries such as Digital Mystikz boss and dubstep trailblazer Mala, or the 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.

w/ 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.

Serenity Now returns with the next dose of bangers from DOC ’N’ P1LL (aka @docjay_unlimited & @p1ll) in the form of RX PRESCRIPTIONS Volume 2.

Following last year’s widely appreciated debut, the Stockholm-based duo is back with four brand new club-oriented tracks, once again rooted in their self-made genre Synth-Tech – a fusion of synth-driven techhouse, melodic tech and deep house, built around a sound that’s cerebral and deep. With their unique sound, DOC ’N’ P1LL mix snappy drums and percussive elements with hard-hitting melodies, creating tracks that hit with precision and energy.

Volume 2 explores a wider range of moods while keeping things direct and floor-focused. From the bouncy opener to the more hypnotic and stripped-down moments, each track reflects the duo’s long-standing experience both behind the decks and in the studio.

If Volume 1 laid the foundation for Synth-Tech, this second installment takes it further – deeper, weirder, and even more confident. Four new flavours. Same prescription. No filler – just four cuts made for peak-time impact.

Recorded at Kestrel Heights Festival in Suffolk on the 12th September. 
Played the opening night on the Friday, 8pm-10pm.

Modern Controls is the first solo LP from Dubringer. This 12-track offering covers a lot of ground while staying in the deeper realm, from the crackling, Burial-esque collaboration with Beolost, “Voidrift,” to the R&B-tinged “Song For Her.” You’ll find his main influences pulled from classic Neurofunk and Dungeon Dubstep, remolded into modern deep Garage. The use of complex, modulated growls and mids paired with stunning atmospheres, textures, and vocals will keep the listener intrigued, while the skippy Garage and two-step-style beats will keep their feet moving. Prepare for a journey through several flavors of Garage that manage to keep things deep yet boldly engaging.

Dubringer - Sabaki

Urola Kosta Garage

A crooked, gritty, full-of-life breakbeat, born in the neighborhood and ready to hit any corner of the map with speakers. Spooky carries that restless street swing, mixed with dark textures that cling to your ears like a soaked poster on a city wall.
It’s independent sound: fast, urban, and global. Press play and let the floor pull you in. 🎧🔥
