!!! These is a stripped-down 160mp3 snippet of the original track !!! Artist: Mr Raoul K Release: African Paradigm EP 3 (with Pablo Fierro & Manoo) Catalog No: CPT 569-1/-3 Format: 12"/digital Tracklisting: Side A A1. Pablo Fierro & Mr Raoul K „Ancestral“ (feat. B`Utiza) (7:15) Side AA AA1. Mr Raoul K & Manoo „Bara“ (feat. Ahmed Sosso) (Pablo Fierro Remix) (7:28) AA2. Mr Raoul K & Manoo „Bara“ (feat. Ahmed Sosso) (Mr Raoul K Dub) (7:29) Finally we present the highly sought-after Pablo Fierro remix for “Bara” by Mr Raoul K & Manoo (a Black Coffee favorite tuuune!) plus a dub version and a superb collabo afro house tune by Pablo Fierro & Mr Raoul K. A package with global club torpedoes.... Third 12" to go along with Mr Raoul K's 'African Paradigm' album. If you consider the album as a listening expierence with a strong focus on storytelling, the twelve inches shift your focus to the dancier side of things. To get things started, Mr Raoul K teams up with Pablo Fierro and they unleash 'Ancestral'. At the beginning, the dynamic duo puts its instrumental track in the back and let B`Utiza's great vocals carry the track. After grooving along with lots of percussion and their subtle yet sincere drums, Pablo and Raoul finish the track with energy and all their musical skills on full display. On the flipside, Pablo Fierro flexes his dancefloor muscle on 'Bara' (of African Paradigm EP II fame). Pounding drums and vocal snippets echoing back and forth pave the way for Ahmed Sosso's vocals. After some kind of call and response between vocals and the growing instrumental tracks, Pablo unleashes the track's full power around the five minute mark and goes with flow until the very end. On the second track Mr Raoul K and Manoo strip down 'Bara' to its bare essentials. It's just the groove and a looped vocal snippet. After a quite while a little buildup with some keyboards and strings. A hypnotizing dub with every piece in position to really please the late crowd - including a long beatless outro...

Together with modular magician Max Loderbauer and Paul St. Hilaire aka Tikiman, Lydia Lunch and Mika Bajinski on vocal duties, they now present »Modul« their most varied and consistent album, on Compost Records. Automat operate like a well-oiled machine: it buzzes, it whirrs, it follows an unswerving course. On its fourth album however, the trio shifts down a gear, further refines its musical approach and partners with other figures from the world of adventurous music. Besides Candy Bomber Studios neighbour Max Loderboder - with whom Jochen Arbeit, Achim Färber and Georg Zeitblom have already worked together in 2015 for an EP -, they are joined on the microphone by dub legend Paul St. Hilaire aka Tikiman, the undisputed queen of gutter poetry Lydia Lunch and the newcomer Mika Bajinski. They all contributed to the recordings according to the guiding principle which lends its name to »Modul«: the eight pieces were written collectively based on a building block system that dynamically set the compositional process in motion and evenly divided responsibility between all participants. The result is a musical perpetuum mobile - an album with the steady resting pulse of a dub production that always stays on the move. As an album, »Modul« captures a continuous process of transformation that was first to be experienced in the year 2018, when Automat presented an earlier version at the Pop-Kultur festival as part of a commissioned work. Having been invited by the curatorial team, Zeitblom, Färber and Arbeit together with their guests St. Hilaire, Lunch and Gemma Ray created a live set that was resolutely developed in the studio on the basis of single modular elements that were (re-)combined according to the principle of a resonance module: it’s a to-and-fro between the individual members, structures morph and the sound incessantly takes on different shapes. It is precisely this approach that necessitates the constant evolution of the pieces which together with producer Ingo Krauss were then moulded into an album that has not lost an iota of its approachable and improvisational character. Compared to the three theme- oriented predecessors »Automat« »Plusminus« and »Ostwest« that explicitly dealt with Berlin airports, dub as a genre and the European refugee crisis respectively, »Modul« allows for a thematic permeability that mirrors its musical openness.

Ahmed Sosso (M&R Action Mix) (07:59) A2. Mr Raoul K & Manoo - Bara feat. Ahmed Sosso (M&R Slowmotion Mix) (7:54) Side B B1. Mr Raoul K - O Mera Dil (Auztin Pauers & Ezrael Remix) (5:52) B2. Mr Raoul K - African Paradigm (Kuniyuki Remix) (10:09) Digital bonus 1. Mr Raoul K - O Mera Dil (Tenek Dash Shake On Da Beach Remix) (6:01) Here’s the second 12" release taken from Mr Raoul K's album 'African Paradigm'. It starts out with two mixes of 'Bara', which were previously unavailable on vinyl. Manoo and Mr Raoul K head straight towards the dancefloor: gritty drums, driving synths. In a true wild pitch manner, they build a massive stack of sound and groove which gets knocked over into a nice break that gives plenty of room for Ahmed Sosso's vocals. The second track, deceivingly named 'Slowmotion' is all about motion: Skippy beats never stop. They keep feet and heads moving. Sounds rising from far away move through the room and echo away (don't panic you'll get a little breather before the end) On the flipside, Auztin Pauers & Ezrael transform 'O Mera Dil' into a lush yet groovy pieced for late night crowds. Laid back beats, Fender Rhodes-esque keyboard sounds, an organic feel and Lady Parul's vocals are put together so smoothly - like a comfy sweater that keeps you warm while you dance into the morning. For the last track, Mr Raoul K's long time collaborator Kuniyuki presents his take on 'African Paradigm'. His mix takes his time to collect and incorporate inspiration from all six chapters of 'African Paradigm', using mesmerizing, airy strings to join all pieces. Kuniyuki transforms Mr Raoul K's journey through the history of Africa into a journey through a day. Starting sleepy in the morning, getting more and more busy throughout the day. Then getting some rest, take a nap and prepare to have some fun in the evening. Links: Mr. Raoul K.

!!! This is a stripped-down 160mp3 snippet of the original track!!! Artist: Mr Raoul K Title: African Paradigm Catalog No: CPT 550-1/-3 Format: Vinyl 2-LP incl. download/digital Release: 8 November 2019 Tracklisting: A1 - African Paradigm (Intro) (1:33) A2 - Africans In Deep And Dance feat. Ahmed Sosso (11:16) B1 - African Paradigm (Chapter 1 – 4) (12:30) B2 - O Mera Dil (Oh My Heart) feat. Lady Parul (7:01) C1 - Touman (Right Time) feat. Ahmed Sosso (8:52) C2 - African Paradigm (Chapter 5) (4:37) D1 - African Paradigm (Chapter 6) (9:51) D2 - Kele Bila (Stop Fighting) feat. Ahmed Sosso (8:46) Digital Bonus: 1 - Touman (Dub) (8:38) 2 - Kele Bila (Dub) (8:45) 3 - African Paradigm - All chapters (28:28) It took Mr Raoul K more than three years of work inside and outside the studio to complete his first album for Compost Records. His first goal was to show all the musical influences he came across during his time in Ivory Coast. Ivorian music has incorporated musical traditions and instruments from East-Africa, West-Africa and from Central Africa – a real musical melting pot. To complete 'African Paradigm', Mr Raoul K used lots of the instruments he bought during his trips to Africa - including a Kenyan Mbira and Senegalese talking drums, for example. All instruments you hear on 'African Paradigm' were played the old-fashioned analog way - no synthesized sounds. Mr Raoul K teamed up with vocalists Ahmed Sosso, Lady Parul and Sona Diabate to emphasize his message, because sometimes (only sometimes) words speak louder than music. His second goal was to share his view on Africa through his music, making 'African Paradigm' a political album as well. Mr Raoul K has always used his music as a means of political expression - 'Le Karantkatrieme Peul' dealing with Barack Obama's presidency, for example. The album's main track, 'African Paradigm', was an epic track with a running time of about 50 minutes. Mr Raoul K thinks of the track as a work in progress. Here he releases two finished parts plus an additional intro. The remaining parts are scheduled for a later release. If you listen closely, you can hear Mr Raoul K painting layer after layer after layer of sound until the whole picture finally appears. Showing a beautiful continent, torn apart by foreign powers, independent by law but still suffering from the burden of being colonialized for cheap labour and raw materials and suffering from inner conflicts and civil wars. The music mirrors this picture. You can hear the sense of urgency, the suffering - different kinds of driving drums, haunting percussion, dancing flutes, irie effects lurking in the shadows... But there are contemplation and hope as well - the hope, that there will be a better future for Africa. Shortly after the album release, Mr Raoul K will also present the “African Paradigm EP 2” in cooperation with Manoo. Quotes about the album: „Fantastic album ! Highly sophisticated production. All around pleasure to listen to something as good as this.“ Peter Kruder “SUPERB ALBUM!” Laurent Garnier „WOAH! Love Raoul K. Sounding bloody great. As expected.“ Mark E. „Excellent!“ Auntie Flo “Smooth.” Maurice Folton „Lovely release, will definitely play this.“ François K. „Amazing Stuff by the amazing Mr. Raoul K!“ Hyenah “Love it!! This is special!” Nuno dos Santos Links: Resident Advisor: www.residentadvisor.net/dj/mrraoulk Soundcloud: @mr-raoul-k Instagram: www.instagram.com/mr_raoul_k/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/MrRaoulK/ Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/2ErWVVcMH1io3Au40dTKnG
