Azu Tiwaline & Tikiman live
In the depths of Berlin’s dub chambers and across Tunisia's windswept dunes, two distinct sonic pathways have slowly converged. Paul St. Hilaire (aka Tikiman), whose honeyed baritone has blessed three decades of genre-defining dub techno, meets Azu Tiwaline's mystifying desert electronics in a rare communion of deep frequencies and ancient rhythms.
Drawing from their collaboration on 'w/ The Producers', this alliance pairs Tikiman's ghostly, patois-inflected incantations with Tiwaline's hypnotic synthesis of Saharan percussion and dubbed electronics. While St. Hilaire's spectral presence has haunted dub techno's most vital recordings - from Basic Channel to Rhythm & Sound - Azu Tiwaline weaves trance-inducing polyrhythms and ancestral desert energies through techno's minimalist framework.
Together, they forge an ethereal dialogue between North African and Caribbean mysticism, where dub's spatial awareness meets ritual percussion and bass weight becomes a pathway to transcendence.
