Paul St. Hilaire

For the first time in more than a decade, Paul St. Hilaire a.k.a. Tikiman presents a solo album.

Over his 30-plus year career, St. Hilaire has become one of dance music’s quietly legendary figures. Born and raised in Dominica, he moved to Berlin in 1994 and has lent both his voice and his musicianship to some of the most iconic electronic music from the German capital – and beyond. Renowned for his collaborations with Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus (a.k.a. Rhythm & Sound), he has also appeared on records with Deadbeat, Rhauder, Larry Heard a.k.a. Mr. Fingers and Stereotyp (G-Stone Recordings), amongst others.

Tikiman Vol. 1 is a heady, downtempo tour de force of patois metaphors on education, displacement and personal vs. global histories.
