Building on the success of Paul St. Hilaires landmark solo album for RichardAkingbehins label Kynant in 2023, w/ The Producers switches up the formula to pairSt. Hilaires with a different producer on each track. Referencing fellow dub technopioneers Mark Ernestus & Moritz von Oswalds acclaimed album w/ The Artists asRhythm & 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 andheadtop 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 contemporarydub evolutions, showing the vocal range and versatility of St. Hilaire. w/ TheProducers is yet another essential record in St. Hilaires unmatched discography.The producers were curated by label owner and DJ Richard Akingbehin to give thenew album a future-facing feel and mark 10 years of Kynant Records. Akingbehinsourced beats from luminaries such as Digital Mystikz boss and dubstep trailblazerMala or elusive Chain Reaction artist Shinichi Atobe. They sit alongside some of themost exciting names in recent electronic music - Batu, Gavsborg, Azu Tiwaline, Priori,Cousin, Russell E.L.
