Paul St. Hilaire to Release New Album Featuring Batu, Mala and More

The nine-track w/ The Producers is out next month

Paul St. Hilaire, the dub techno vocalist otherwise known as Tikiman, is releasing a new album.

Spanning nine tracks, w/ The Producers sees the artist link up with a stacked cast of beatmakers that includes Batu, Mala, Shinichi Atobe, Gavsborg and Azu Tiwaline, among others. The record’s title is a play on Rhythm & Sound’s classic 2004 album w/ The Artists, on which St. Hilaire featured.

w/ The Producers follows the vocalist’s 2023 album Tikiman Vol. 1, and it will be released via the label Kynant Records, much like its predecessor. St. Hilaire and Kynant founder Richard Akingbehin – who curated the list of guest artists featured on w/ The Producers – will perform together at Glasgow’s Sub Club this Friday (August 1), while Kynant will also present a series of 10th anniversary events at Open Ground in Wuppertal, Garage Noord in Amsterdam, Globus in Berlin and Venue MOT in London before the end of the year.

Listen to the new album’s lead track, the Mala-produced ‘Like It’s Always Been’, below.
