Radio Citizen

Radio Citizen may be the brainchild of Berlin composer, manufacturer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist Niko Schabel. The very first Radio Citizen record, Berlin Serengeti released on Ubiquity in 2006, highlighted digital music that uses multiple organic components, creating a brutal sonic meld of dub, hip-hop, soul-jazz, funk, and globe musics. Schabel performed reeds and woodwinds, percussion, piano (including Fender Rhodes), and synth, and created and blended the documenting. His key collaborator was the Indian-born, Portugal- and South Africa-raised vocalist Bajka, however the album’s choices include a huge band of instrumentalists and poet Ursula Rucker. Radio Citizen’s second providing, Wish and Despair, was also released by Ubiquity in nov 2010.
