Moritz von Oswald feat. Tikiman - Live at Shanti Moscow

Moritz von Oswald feat. Tikiman - Live at Shanti Moscow [2011] Moritz von Oswald is half of Rhythm & Sound, along with Mark Ernestus. He's also the mastering and cutting engineer at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin, Germany. Von Oswald and Ernestus' Rhythm & Sound recordings are much more dub-influenced and less techno-orientated than the duo's previous, and more legendary, dub-techno recordings as Basic Channel and Von Oswald's solo work as Maurizio. Where those earlier recordings synthesized a Detroit-influenced style of minimal techno with dub-reggae bass lines, the late-'90s Rhythm & Sound productions emphasized the dub-reggae aesthetic rather than the more dancefloor-orientated techno sound of the early-'90s Basic Channel and Maurizio recordings. Thus, the Rhythm & Sound records, which often featured reggae vocalist Paul St. Hilaire, weren't quite as popular or well-known as the duo's Basic Channel recordings, which instead retained their popularity over the years, becoming quite legendary and oft-cited within the techno scene. Paul St. Hilaire aka Tikiman, an important man in the Berlin reggae and dub scene, is born in Grandbay on the Caribbean Island of Dominica. He begins to make music in his early childhood and becomes an excellent vocalist and musician. In 1993 he produces in Martinique the CD 'Angels Of Music' with his band 'Golden Squad.' The band opens concerts of artists like Prince Ital Joe, Bunny Wailer, Third World, Yelloman, Tiger, and many more in the Caribbean.
