Selected ambient techno works on YouTube : IDM mix paying hommage to unknown and know artists and remixes

This is a mix that captures a moment in time (90's electronic) where people were still making interesting electronic music to be discovered by dance DJs in record shops and record collectors. I personally WAS playing ambient, IDM and downtempo and trip-hop type sets at parties and for mixtapes - so I bought most of this music on sight, and unheard, based on a recommendation from a record shop employee.

Boards of Canada - Nostalgia 77 (The Future of Nostalgia)

https://preview.redd.it/6nazuajxrodh1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=726495beab0241cd9326d8b6942c8c545e811013

Hello friends! Thought you guys might like this mix !!!! My new channel where I will post my new mixes from now on. Soundcloud is a thing of the past.

Done with care, passion and love ❤ !

Boards of Canada's music appeals to several themes like nostalgia, memories from our youth, and souvenirs we hold in our minds. It also mimics the musical aesthetics of the 70's older analog electronic music. It's probably meant to embody innocence and wonder of our childhood, a time of innocence and carelessness. I was born at the end of the 1970's back when there were no computers and everything was analog. Yes the last generation that knew walkmans, flip over cassette and collected things because streaming services were not yet invented.

I remember buying MHTRTC in 1998 on CD, cassette and vinyl (one that is still MINT and unplayed) so their music is sort of in my consciousness and I can go on a binge for several weeks and only listen to BoC ! And furthermore, I cannot help but to associate a bit with them, hailing from Canada and having seen the National Film Board of Canada filming in my backyard (Fleuve St-Laurent - St-Lawrence's river) while they filmed their documentaries.

Paul St. Hilaire & Friends - Tikiman mix vol. 002

Picture of Paul St. Hilaire and Berlin station underneath

It's almost impossible to collect records in dub techno and bypass the influence of Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald who have made music under a plethora of monikers, perhaps best known for being Basic Channel.

Whilst the early techno releases on BC was infused with dub productions but more focused on the rhythmic structure, and still very much minimal techno, their output changed when Rhythm & Sound released their first 12 inches in 1996. It was more centered around dub and reggae influences. This is where vocalists like Paul St. Hilaire as well as Jennifer Lara, Cornell Campbell and the Chosen Brothers came in. The advent of professional singers led to a strong emphasis on the vocals, who became just as important as the basslines and the riddims

It became de facto the perfect mixture of dub & techno (hence the coined term). The accuracy of Berlin techno but with the finesse and the lyricism of dub / reggae sensibilities.

Lyricism refers to the quality of expressing deep personal emotions, feelings, or artistic passion in an imaginative, song-like way, typically applied to poetry, music, and literature. It denotes a melodic, expressive, or "singing" quality in art and writing

The releases of Rhythm & Sound became the benchmark by which releases in the genre continues to be measured up and compared to, because it’s the perfect mixture of proper dub (mastered and created on a real mixing board and not a cheap laptop with a software) This echoed the Studio 1 studios of Jamaica. It also brought to the forefront an equally talented producer and singer named Paul St. Hilaire. First known as Tikiman, St. Hilaire is practically a living legend. Under his alter ego Tikiman, he released numerous tracks in the late nineties on the Burial Mix label together with Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus. The singles and EPs from Rhythm & Sound were groundbreaking for dub techno at the time and are still considered an inspiration for many electronic music producers today.

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. While he is known to have collaborated with Ernetus and von Oswald, he has also appeared on records with Deadbeat, Rhauder, Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers and Stereotyp (G-Stone Recordings), but also Moderat, Modeselektor, Mind over MIDI and Beat pharmacy, all of whom are featured on this mix.

With this mix, unlike Vol. 1, which was more deep house & techno, I tried to showcase different producers and genres. I have been collecting releases from Paul for over 25 years. Therefore the mix is more akin to a trip into dub & rasta culture. Be it dubstep, low fi electronics with his last two albums (Tikiman vol. 001 + With the Producers), classic Rhythm & Sound releases and a few other obscure EP’s who went overlooked at the time of their releases.

Tikiman Vol. 2 is a heady dub statement...Are you ready to dive in ?

It's almost impossible to collect records in dub techno and bypass the influence of Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald who have made music under a plethora of monikers, perhaps best known for being Basic Channel.

Whilst the early techno releases on BC was infused with dub productions but more focused on the rhythmic structure, and still very much minimal techno, their output changed when Rhythm & Sound released their first 12 inches in 1996. It was more centered around dub and reggae influences. This is where vocalists like Paul St. Hilaire as well as Jennifer Lara, Cornell Campbell and the Chosen Brothers came in. The advent of professional singers led to a strong emphasis on the vocals, who became just as important as the basslines and the riddims

It became de facto the perfect mixture of dub & techno (hence the coined term). The accuracy of Berlin techno but with the finesse and the lyricism of dub / reggae sensibilities.

Lyricism refers to the quality of expressing deep personal emotions, feelings, or artistic passion in an imaginative, song-like way, typically applied to poetry, music, and literature. It denotes a melodic, expressive, or "singing" quality in art and writing

The releases of Rhythm & Sound became the benchmark by which releases in the genre continues to be measured up and compared to, because it’s the perfect mixture of proper dub (mastered and created on a real mixing board and not a cheap laptop with a software) This echoed the Studio 1 studios of Jamaica. It also brought to the forefront an equally talented producer and singer named Paul St. Hilaire. First known as Tikiman, St. Hilaire is practically a living legend. Under his alter ego Tikiman, he released numerous tracks in the late nineties on the Burial Mix label together with Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus. The singles and EPs from Rhythm & Sound were groundbreaking for dub techno at the time and are still considered an inspiration for many electronic music producers today.

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. While he is known to have collaborated with Ernetus and von Oswald, he has also appeared on records with Deadbeat, Rhauder, Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers and Stereotyp (G-Stone Recordings), but also Moderat, Modeselektor, Mind over MIDI and Beat pharmacy, all of whom are featured on this mix.

With this mix, unlike Vol. 1, which was more deep house & techno, I tried to showcase different producers and genres. I have been collecting releases from Paul for over 25 years. Therefore the mix is more akin to a trip into dub & rasta culture. Be it dubstep, low fi electronics with his last two albums (Tikiman vol. 001 + With the Producers), classic Rhythm & Sound releases and a few other obscure EP’s who went overlooked at the time of their releases.

Tikiman Vol. 2 is a heady dub statement...Are you ready to dive in ?
