Building on the success of Paul St. Hilaires landmark solo album for Richard
Akingbehins label Kynant in 2023, w/ The Producers switches up the formula to pair
St. Hilaires with a different producer on each track. Referencing fellow dub techno
pioneers Mark Ernestus & Moritz von Oswalds acclaimed album w/ The Artists as
Rhythm & Sound, St. Hilaire flips the concept to feature as the lone vocalist.

Over the albums nine tracks, St. Hilaire offers a range of conscious song-writing and

headtop musings, such as the spoken-word dread of Whats This or the sparse call-
to-action of Send Them On. The record weaves through all shades of contemporary

dub evolutions, showing the vocal range and versatility of St. Hilaire. w/ The
Producers is yet another essential record in St. Hilaires unmatched discography.
The producers were curated by label owner and DJ Richard Akingbehin to give the
new album a future-facing feel and mark 10 years of Kynant Records. Akingbehin
sourced beats from luminaries such as Digital Mystikz boss and dubstep trailblazer
Mala or 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 genres new wave. Its a statement of intent from the label, which began 10 years
ago with deep, hypnotic techno and has veered gradually towards more dubwise
sounds
