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.

B1 Paul St. Hilaire & Priori - Send Them On

the 11th entry in our series come from a dear friend and label regular, Toronto based musician and DJ - @ciel_dj

Words from the artist :

"little sounds in huge expansive spaces"

This mix was my musical extrapolation of this quote. As I put together the tracks in the mix, the idea of small sounds in big spaces became more metaphysical, as a metaphor for memory and nostalgia. Small, seemingly insignificant events in our past can expand in significance over time, informed by our experiences later on in life, and with our emotions acting as a tool of reverberation, extending their presence in our lives far past their time of occurrence. What begun as a process of selecting tracks that quite literally feature "small sounds in big spaces" soon morphed into a dig into my distant past, to nearly 20 years ago when I first started learning to DJ. I pulled from the mnml tracks that had an important influence on my formative years, their impact can still be heard in the contemporary tracks I play today, all of them bouncing next to each other in this nearly 2hr musical collage.

“A recording from pe:rsona in France, one of the most memorable sets of the summer for me!! 

I felt a connection to this crowd in particular and that’s not something that happens often. A lot of this is down to the people behind this festival, the pe:rsona/Positive Education crew are very intentional with what they do, they champion and support a lot of artists who aren’t necessarily ‘big names’. I think this cultivates a crowd that trusts in their curation, they’ve fostered this really special energy. 

I played on Friday night between two live sets, Christian Coiffure and Renslink. They are two incredible acts to be sandwiched in-between which inspired the set to evolve the way it did. 

Big big love to the crew and to everyone who danced with me ❤️”

Magician On Duty proudly celebrates the return of Dnl Mike (@dnl_mike) with his highly anticipated fourth release, a project that encapsulates the essence of his musical evolution and his unwavering devotion to storytelling through sound.

Dnl Mike first appeared on the label in 2024 with his debut project Fantasy. More than an introduction, it was a statement: a journey through modular synths, organic instrumentation, and cinematic textures that reflected his diverse background as a multi-instrumentalist. The release showcased not only his mastery of the saxophone, piano, guitar, and drums, but also his ability to translate those traditions into a fresh electronic language.

His second release deepened this narrative, weaving warmth and intricacy into the Magician On Duty catalog. Here, he began to shape his signature: deep, melodic, and textural soundscapes that balance meditative introspection with rhythmic drive.

Through remix contributions and collaborative projects, Dnl Mike has since built bridges between genres and cultures, bringing both soulful energy and modern electronic precision to every work. His versatility reflects his eclectic influences—ranging from blues and jazz to rock and classical—while remaining rooted in a timeless sense of melody and atmosphere.

Now, with his fourth release, Dnl Mike delivers his most refined and emotional statement to date. A collection that feels equally at home in intimate listening spaces and expansive dancefloors, the record expands on the themes of transformation, connection, and inner journey. It is music that resonates with both the mind and the heart—crafted with patience, depth, and the wisdom of an artist unafraid to explore new sonic territory.

Magician On Duty invites listeners once more into the world of Dnl Mike: a world where every note is alive, every rhythm is intentional, and every release is another chapter in a growing story.
