Paul St. Hilaire’s impact on electronic music cannot be overstated. The Dominican-born, Berlin-based musician has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus on the iconic Rhythm & Sound project, Mr. Fingers, Modeselektor, The Bug, and Deadbeat. His incredible talent as a session player and vocalist has made him a sought-after collaborator, with over three decades of experience in the field.
Despite these collaborations, St. Hilaire has quietly amassed an impressive repertoire of original compositions and productions that span multiple genres, from ambient and jazz to techno. Tikiman Vol. 1 is his first attempt at showcasing this vast collection, and the result is nothing short of mesmerizing. Tracks like the dancehall-infused ‘Keep Safe’ and the pulsating techno of ‘Ten To One’ highlight St. Hilaire’s versatility and creativity, leaving listeners wondering why it took him so long to release a compilation of his own work. As Modeselektor put it, St. Hilaire is a “legendary figure in the scene,” and Tikiman Vol. 1 is a testament to his incredible talent and influence in the electronic music world.
