Lost & Found

Radio Citizen - Slow Living

written by Masajjaa, Niko Schabel, Bajka

Matze Sajjaa - mpc
Niko Schabel - flute
Bajka - vocals

„Lost & Found“ presents unreleased material from Bajka and Niko Schabel, famous for their hits „The Hop“ and „Summertime“ with fans all over the world. And it features two unheard collaborations with MPC wizard Masajjaa.

This record is a dive into the history of Radio Citizen´s early Berlin days and in spite of all the time gone by this album sounds as edgy and fresh as „Berlin Serengeti“ and „Hope and Despair“ from the years 2006 and 2010.

Radio Citizen is a project by mastermind Niko Schabel and a changing group of musicians from Munich and Berlin, including on this recording the "classic" horn section with Teresa Gruber and Wolfi Schlick, Klaus Janek on double bass and the brilliant drummer Julian Waiblinger.
Musically diverse, it had been tagged:  Deep Krautjazz Dubecho Clubculture Electric Arcadia Free Soul

Bajka is a vocalist and artist born India with a distinctive voice that reminds in some ways of Billie Holiday and Erykah Badu. Apart from Radio Citizen she worked among others with Beanfield (check out the Carl Craig remix), Dissidenten and Bonobo. And Bajka released records under her own name, check out her wonderful single on Jazzman Records, Bajka in Wonderland and Bajka with Rejoicer.

Radio Citizen - Upper Class

This is the recording of the Radio Citizen concert on the 30th of August 2014 at the Jazzfest Brandenburg - a good document where the band is at.

Starting off with an Ethiopian-inspired tune (and a little surprise in the middle), featuring the alltime RC classic The Hop, bowing to Neneh Cherry and The Thing in Calypso and rocking a piece of saturnian acid metal flash jazz, it ends with a Mal Waldron song crossed with lyrics by the godfathers of spoken word, the Last Poets.
